Shan't Wait (G)
FAV
Improved on the back of a breathing operation when second of 9 in 2m Southwell handicap in December and backed that up when third at Market Rasen the following month. Should be suited by return to longer trip now and must enter the reckoni…

Saint Polo (G)
Not knocked about when well held in novice/maiden hurdles and appeals as a potential improver now sent handicapping up in trip.

Klapton Boy (G)
Placed in pair of 2½m Wetherby novice hurdles but could only manage sixth of 14 on Huntingdon handicap hurdle debut last spring. Has the background for chasing but offered little on his first try in that sphere at Market Rasen when last se…

Swingforthefence (G)
[P1]
Made no impact in maiden/novice hurdles but could well raise his game now handicapping over further. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Wind Your Neck In (G)
[T]
Remains winless over hurdles (three-time Flat scorer) but this keen-going sort ran another fine race when second in 6-runner handicap at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) on most recent outing, albeit seen to good effect.

Star Vantage (G)
[T]
Remains difficult to win with the way he is ridden (0-30, including 27 defeats over hurdles) but he's unlikely to be far away on the pick of his form back from a break.

Dartmhor (G)
Poor maiden/novice form but he did at least make a better fist of things after 9 months off when third of 6 in a handicap here (21.2f, soft) in December, plugging on again from 2 out. Failed to repeat that effort at Newcastle next time, ho…
