Telhimlisten (G)
[H]
Rejoined former yard before going in over C&D in January and backed it up with a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton following month, despite hanging left late on. Up 2 lb but well in the mix.

Klitschko (G)
[T]
Not disgraced when fifth at Catterick in January but unseated rider 4th there following month. Took this 12 months ago so he enters calculations.

Assorda (M)
Ex-French mare who bagged a 2m Catterick novice hurdle for Paula Smith last March. Off 11 months/had a breathing operation before being pulled up on his yard debut back at Catterick last month. Has plenty to prove.

Jolie Coeur Allen (M)
[T]
Tongue tie refitted when finally getting off the mark over C&D in October. Beat only 2 in 2m Musselburgh handicap following month and off since though so needs to hit the ground running.

King Sacre (G)
Lightly-raced sort who took a big step forward when fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Wincanton 33 days ago. May do better still now going into handicaps. Considered.

Byron Hill (G)
[PT]
Sole hurdles success came at Carlisle in October 2024 but he's back in decent form of late, third of 8 in 2m Catterick claimer 15 days ago. Can't be discounted reverted to handicap company.

Lights Go Down (G)
FAV
A fair 1½m Flat maiden. Showed progressive form over hurdles (second at Wetherby) until only ninth in the mud on his handicap debut at Ayr last month. Well worth another chance under these less testing conditions.

Jamie Hamilton | M & D Easterby | 4 | 68.9 kg |

My Boy Christy (G)
Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden hurdler for Liam G O'Brien. Never-dangerous fifth of 12 for his new yard in handicap hurdle here last month. Needs to take a big step forward.
