[PT]

Olivers Travels (G)
[P]
Bumper/hurdles winner who was in fine form over fences earlier on in the campaign, scoring at Cartmel in August and following up in good style at Uttoxeter. Good effort when coming up just short in his hat-trick bid at Kelso but off since …

Torneo (G)
Took well to chasing last season when a dual 2m scorer and he's continued on the up this term, runner-up for the third time when beaten just a head at Windsor in January. Allowed winner too much rope at Kelso since and worth a go at this l…

Knight Of Allen (G)

Opened his account over fences in 2m4f Newbury handicap in December. Backed it up with a couple of good efforts before pulled up in the Ultima at Cheltenham Festival (jumping errors before badly hampered). Worth another chance back down in…

Ben Solo (G)
[T1]
Much improved for the switch to fences this term, making all over C&D in November. Looked set to bag a second success here when unseated rider 3 out (in front) just after Christmas. Found Cheltenham Festival too competitive last time and r…

Soldierofthestorm (G)
Landed a gamble in handicap hurdle at Catterick on return and has advanced his form over fences, off the mark at the second attempt when dictating at Sandown last month. Will find this more demanding but remains unexposed as a chaser.

Miralago (G)

Ex-French winning hurdler/chaser who ran creditably when making the frame first 3 starts for present yard but showed nothing in cross country at Cheltenham Festival since and looks up against it from 4 lb out of the handicap. Visor on 1st …
