Mr Hope Street (G)
Progressive over hurdles last term. Left chase bow behind when third of 5 in graduation event at Haydock last time. Might have been flattered by proximity to the front 2 that day but remains with potential back in a handicap.

Followcato (G)
[P]
Runner-up in an Irish point and on the up over fences since the cheekpieces went on, not needing to improve when readily bringing up the hat-trick at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Assessor applies further pressure. Engaged 2.30 Leice…

Just Over Land (G)
[T]
Has returned better than ever, winning at Fontwell before following up at Chepstow. Not disgraced in premier handicap at Cheltenham since and will find this less demanding. Player.

Captain Bellamy (G)
Bumper winner and first past the post over hurdles. Left chase bow behind when just failing at Newbury (22.4f) in December. Reportedly suffered leg wound when well held there next time so worth another chance.

Soldierofthestorm (G)

Landed a gamble in handicap hurdle at Catterick on return and advanced his form first time up over fences when clear second at Hereford (20.9f, soft), albeit suited by the way the race developed. Entitled to build on that.

Akimos (G)
Left first 2 efforts behind when winning a Ffos Las maiden hurdle last spring and resumed with a handicap debut near-miss here in November. Disappointed next 2 starts, however, so bit to prove now chasing.

Progressive over hurdles, winning 4 times, including twice this season. Hasn't taken to chasing so far, however.
