Platin Moon (G)
Capitalised on a falling mark when winning 9-runner C&D event (heavy) in January. Backed that up when third at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) 18 days later and should give a good account for a stable seeking a third successive win in this …

She's Notjoeking (M)
Returned to form out of the blue to snap a losing run in 2m Newcastle handicap (good to soft) under Conner McCann 13 days ago. Should remain very competitive off 6 lb higher if showing up in similar form.

Nakassama (G)
FAV
[T1]
Landed a gamble over hurdles at Hexham (2½m) last June. Also ran a cracker on the Flat the following month but struggled in a couple of chases in the autumn. Tongue tied for the first time back from a break. One to monitor closely in the b…

The Coffey Boy (G)
Built on 17f Sedgefield second when edging out the reopposing Velvet Vulcan over 20.5f here (heavy) 24 days ago. Should continue to go the right way.

Velvet Vulcan (G)
[HT]
Keen goer who has gone close in pair of 20.5f handicap hurdles here this year, beaten a head by The Coffey Boy latterly. Probably found race coming too soon when well-held fourth at Musselburgh only 5 days later. The hood goes back on, and…

Belvedere Bhoy (G)
Sent off favourite when finishing mid-field in a Hexham bumper. Hasn't offered much in 4 starts over hurdles since but low-grade handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Worth a second look in the betting.

Bray Dale (G)
[P1]
Third in this race 12 months ago but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in his 4 outings this season. First-time cheekpieces need to spark a revival.
