Thank You Blue (G)
Thriving sort made the most of a good opportunity to land the hat-trick at Ludlow 8 days ago and 2 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer.

Assertive Walk (G)
Third in bumper last season and having shown promise amidst greenness in pair of hurdles starts, could improve for the quick switch to handicaps, for all his mark is on the stiff side.

Gege Ville (G)
Course bumper winner who's lightly raced for his age and has shaped as though still capable of winning races in a pair of starts this season. Likely player, for all he'd prefer more pace in the race.

Chanceawetmorning (G)
FAV
Maiden Irish-raider who ran his best race when second behind a lightly-raced one in a 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 50 days ago but faces a tough ask off 11 lb higher mark.

Kazar Forez (G)
Made it 3-3 for the season when cosy winner at Catterick in January and though upped in grade, he's unexposed over this longer trip.

Follow Charlie (G)
[P]
3-time C&D winner wasn't disgraced when well held second over 3m at this course last time but likely needs further respite from the handicapper.

Forest Blaze (G)
[V]
Underlined that he's a solid proposition when chasing home a subsequent winner at Wetherby in January but rise in grade does him no favours.

Red Cadillac (G)
Back on the up when making a winning reappearance at Carlisle in November and very much bumped into one (who's won easily since) at this course the following month. Will need to improve upped in grade, but that's not out of the question. Y…

Coconut Splash (G)
[V1]
Best effort for current yard when sixth over C&D but looked awkward under pressure over a shorter trip at this track last time. No surprise to see more severe headgear fitted.

Largy Meadow (G)
[HT]
Headstrong sort has yet to match his debut bumper form in maiden/novice hurdles and while his opening mark looks on the harsh side, he could prove more competitive on first start following a breathing operation.
