The Jam Man (G)
Point winner in January 2024 but it's been a long time since this veteran last hit the target under Rules and judged on this season's efforts, there's no sign of a revival in sight.

Loki's Mischief (G)
Still to get his head in front but proving consistent and reappearance second over C&D in November was up there with the pick of his form. Was returning from a 7-month break that day, so subsequent 130-day absence no great concern and he a…

Looking For Larry (G)
Landed a gamble here last January but hasn't put his best foot forward in 2 starts since returning from almost a year off.

Jurassic Pet (M)
[T]
Winning pointer who is related to some useful types and and has shown promise in maiden hurdles at Ludlow (21f) and Hereford (19.7f). Improvement anticipated now moving up in trip for this handicap debut.

Tarbuck (G)
Winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) last February but it's been all downhill since.

Special John (G)

[P1]
Runner-up all 3 handicap starts in this sphere prior to making a successful stable/chase debut here in November. Done little wrong since (followed up at Wincanton before shaping much better than the bare result at Windsor) and strong claim…

Local Derby (G)
Expensive point winner who left previous form behind when striking at Wincanton (2½m, heavy) towards the end of January. Attempted to jump a road crossing when unseating early on when a warm order at Fontwell next time and this 6-y-o remai…

Pop's Folly (G)
Showed a bit more than he did in maiden/novice company when third upped to 25f on recent handicap bow at Huntingdon but there wasn't enough in that to suggest that he'll be equal to this task.

Square Du Roule (G)
Strong-travelling sort who has run more good races than bad ones since undergoing a breathing operation early last year, most notably gaining a deserved first success in 21.6f handicap hurdle in November. Didn't do much wrong when fourth o…

Shot Boii (G)
[VT]
Mark continues on the slide but with good reason having been pulled up on 3 of his 4 starts in handicap chases this season. Blinkers failed to work the oracle last time (tongue strap and visor now refitted) and hopes largely pinned on the …

Dessie Haze (G)
Appeared to be getting the hang of things when making the frame on final 2 starts of last season but belated reappearance effort at Chepstow was not at all inspiring.

Bredon Hill Dart (G)
Back to form with a bang when doubling his tally here (21.6f, heavy) last month and wasn't suited by the tactical nature of the race when fourth of 7 back here in a C&D handicap recently. Should get a strong pace to aim at here and he's no…

Klervia (M)
Placed in novice hurdles around 2m on good ground for Barry Brennan last spring. Failed to improve for the switch to handicaps on last 2 starts but she nevertheless needs a second look in the betting on this debut for her new yard.

Blue In The West (G)
Remains a maiden under Rules (0-22, including 0-19 in this sphere) but this point winner really should've put that right in a C&D handicap (soft) last time when finishing strongly from a compromising position. Should make his presence felt.

Watchoutitscookie (G)
Placed on 3 of his 4 starts this season, most recently coming home 9½ lengths third of 7 to Bredon Hill Dart in a 21.6f handicap at this course. Meets that rival on 5 lb better terms now and he's another who makes some each-way appeal.

Moonlight Artist (G)
[TP]
Sole hurdles success came in a C&D handicap in November 2023 and while he managed to get his head in front over fences off this mark at Warwick last spring, this season's efforts have not among his best.

I Love You Sivola (G)
[VT]
Fair chaser at best in France but remains winless on these shores and is likely to find a few too good once more.

Elfride (M)

Sole success was registered back in May 2023 and she hasn't offered much in her 2 starts since returning from a break in November. Has undergone another breathing operation since latest appearance on New Year's Eve.
