Holeshot (G)
Back-to-back hurdles winner last season and there were positives to glean form his chase debut fifth at Bangor in October. However jumping has let him down since and will need to brush up in that department if he's to get his head in front…

Giovanni Change (G)
Creditable third back from a break at Musselburgh in December and while his subsequent no-show served as a reminder of his inconsistency, he went close in this race last year prior to back-to-back victories at Market Rasen. Will be a dange…

Ithaka (G)
[P1T]
Matched hurdles form when off the mark over fences at Hereford in January but he has followed that with a couple of non-completions. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking a return to form.

The Clonmel Kid (G)
[P1]
Fair maiden hurdler but below par so far this season and improvement needed now moving back up in trip for this chase debut in first-time cheekpieces.

Slaney Opera (G)
[T]
Winner of a Kelso hunter last spring and showed much improved form on second start for this yard when landing an 11-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield in January. That effort is bookmarked by a couple of dismal runs but he will have a ser…

Cardamon Hill (G)
Successful twice within space of 12 days in November 2024, including over C&D. However, he hasn't been seen out since turning in a below par display at Musselburgh 13 months ago and is probably best watched on debut for new yard.

The Great Escape (G)
[P1]
Placed 3 times over hurdles at Worcester last summer, including off 5 lb lower on handicap debut in July. Hasn't fired so far this season but it could be that the switch to fences and fitting of cheekpieces will prove to be an uplifting co…

Youdecide (G)
FAV
[V1]
Point/hurdles winner who has shown an aptitude for this game the last twice, latterly coming home a creditable fourth of 10 upped to 3m at Kempton. Open to improvement in this sphere and first-time visor replaces cheekpieces but would be o…

Mixedwave (G)
Signed off last season with a narrow verdict over Giovanni Change in this race and posted just about his effort of the present campaign when third at Huntingdon last time. On the same mark as when winning this 12 months ago and has to ente…
