Thankyouandplease (G)
Off the mark at Leicester in December but promised more than he delivered when back to form fourth at this course (21.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Best form has come in testing conditions and may not be the easiest to win with.

Raffles Nobu (G)
[TP]
Failed to meet expectations (evens) when third of 5 in testing ground at Lingfield last month and while clearly not one for maximum faith, he cannot be discounted given how far he's fallen in the weights.

Ugo Bingo (G)
[B1T]
Course winner turned in a rare poor effort at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 13 days ago but reasonable to think he can bounce back with more severe headgear fitted

Brendan Powell | J Tizzard | 7 | 75.7 kg |

| 9th | 4 | — |
Western Soldier (G)
Capitalised on a falling mark to score over C&D in November but disappointed at this track (soft) last time. Return to better ground may help but others look better treated.

Paul O'Brien | J W Mullins | 8 | 75.3 kg |

| 12th | 5 | — |
Perfect Nelson (G)
Maiden has yet to match his fair bumper form over hurdles, though he's lightly raced in handicaps and was entitled to need the run (not given hard time) returning from 22-months off at Taunton 3 weeks ago.
|
Lorcan Williams | J Scott | 7 | 75.3 kg |

14/1
|
| 5th | 6 | — |
Tyson (G)
Fair runner-up in 2½m handicap for Paul Nolan and while he's made a low-key start on these shores (best excused latest run), it'll be no surprise to see Dan Skelton get a tune out of him at some point.
|
Harry Skelton | D Skelton | 6 | 74.8 kg |

11/1
|
| 3rd | 7 | — |
Penn Avenue (F)
Fair Flat winner who has hit the frame on all 4 starts over hurdles, though is proving consistent rather than progressive and may again have to settle for minor honours back in a handicap.

Jack Tudor | D Pipe | 4 | 72.6 kg |

Frank Stamper (G)
FAV
[H]
Fair Flat maiden who has shaped as though capable of winning races over hurdles, seeing out his race better than on handicap debut (when well beaten fav) to finish runner-up at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 10 days ago. May go one better with Sea…

S Bowen | W Greatrex | 4 | 72.1 kg |

| 11th | 9 | — |
Dream's Ka (G)
Showed potential prior to finishing last on qualifying run at Chepstow last month and while Harry Skelton partners stable Tyson, he's not one to sleep on if supported on handicap bow.
|
C J Todd | D Skelton | 4 | 71.7 kg |

40/1
|
| 8th | 10 | — |
Daany (G)
Front-running C&D winner has fallen below his latest winning mark but again goes without the hood that has been present for all his previous victories, having been too keen/well held last time.
|
Taylor Fisher | J Tickle | 9 | 71.7 kg |

18/1
|
| 10th | 11 | — |
Son Of Tyran (G)
Runner-up in Irish point/close third on bumper debut but has shown nothing since. Market can guide on handicap debut/return from 100 days off.

Jack Andrews | D Skelton | 5 | 68.5 kg |

Prince Rhinegold (G)
[P]
Back-to-back creditable efforts over C&D at the end of last year but remains vulnerable to less-exposed types.
