Blackwater Lilly (M)
[P]
Gained a deserved success in 2m Bangor maiden hurdle last May. Campaigned on the Flat since but well held both runs at Southwell in January. Makes handicap hurdle debut now and could get back on track.

Captain Cool (G)
FAV
[PT]
Irish point winner who opened his account over timber at Sedgefield (2m) in October. Cheekpieces on when a solid fourth at Musselburgh in January but unseated rider third at Doncaster last time. Still enters calculations.

Newport (G)
[P]
Without a win when trained in Ireland yet quick to get off the mark for current yard at Musselburgh (2m) in December. Pulled up in 2m Catterick handicap last time but could get back on track after undergoing a breathing operation since.

Cosmic Soul (G)
[T]
Back to form under an enterprising ride on Flat at Southwell (2m) in January. Posted an excellent second in 2m Perth handicap when last seen in this sphere in September so merits serious consideration off a handy-looking mark.

Lahire (G)
[P]
C&D winner but it's now 14 runs since his last success in 2023 and he fell heavily at the fifth in handicap hurdle at Catterick (2m) in January. Needs to bounce back after a break.

Charlie Maggs | D McCain Jnr | 6 | 69.4 kg |

Warrior Lion (G)
[P]
Long-standing maiden on the Flat/hurdles. Recorded a solid second on the level at Wolverhampton in January but pulled up over C&D following month. Has something to prove now.

William Shanahan | J Candlish | 6 | 67.1 kg |

Jet Approach (G)
[B1]
Little promise shown in various company and a sizeable step forward in first-time blinkers will be needed if he's to play a leading role here.

Susiesparkle (M)
[T]
Dual winner on the Flat but remains a maiden over hurdles and form has gone the wrong way for current yard, pulled up in 2m Catterick handicap 48 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Oscar Palmer | M E Sowersby | 6 | 64.4 kg |

King Kodiak (G)
Usual haphazard jumping but managed to get placed when third at Carlisle (17f, 150/1) on Sunday. That gives him something to build on now handicapping.
