Laganhill (G)
[P]
A dual 2m winner as novice hurdler last season. Yet to score over fences but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 4 in 3m Exeter handicap 43 days ago. In the mix with headgear retained.

Fortunedefortunata (G)
Ended his time with Gordon Elliott out of sorts, pulled up in 27f handicap chase at Punchestown 48 days ago. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.

Saladins Son (G)
Improved for the switch to this yard last season, scoring three times. Has acquitted himself well all 3 runs this term, third of 6 at Wincanton (25f) last time. A player at these weights.

Major Fortune (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Wincanton in January and posted a good second of 3 in 22f handicap chase at Leicester 29 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

Buckna (G)
[P1]
Looked on the up when scoring twice over fences at Hereford (25f) before Christmas but he's run poorly at Newbury and Wetherby since. Cheekpieces are reached for.

Jacks Parrot (G)
[BT]
In good nick without winning this term, third in the Tommy Whittle over C&D in December and fourth of 11 in 29f Bangor handicap last time. Considered once more for yard that has took the past 2 runnings of this.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr. | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 7 | 73.5 kg |

If Not For Dylan (G)
[T]
Capitalised on a reduced mark when making all in 9-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (3m) 36 days ago. Back up 6 lb but this veteran can go well again.

Alan Doyle | L Russell & M Scudamore | 11 | 73 kg |

Jupiter Des Bordes (G)
[TP]
Deservedly opened his account in this sphere at Warwick (3m) in December but went in snatches in refiited cheekpieces when a below-par fifth there last time.

Ski Lodge (G)
FAV
[P1]
Winning hurdler but he's failed to build on a promising start in this sphere, coming in a well-held fourth of 6 in 3m Wetherby handicap last time. Cheekpieces go on now.

Thomas Bellamy | A King | 7 | 71.7 kg |

Solar System (G)
[P1]
A 3-time winning hurdler last season. Shaped encouragingly on his chasing bow when third of 6 in 3m handicap at Southwell 33 days ago. May do better with cheekpieces added.

H Cobden | P Hobbs & J White | 7 | 71.7 kg |

Cerendipity (G)
[T1]
Winner at Newcastle last March but he has been expensive to follow since, his jumping often an issue. Not easy to warm to.

My Bobby Dazzler (G)
Ended a long losing run in 7-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25f) 41 days ago. Not one to rely on though so others still appeal more.

Toby McCain-Mitchell | Mrs M Rowley | 11 | 70.3 kg |

One Last Glance (G)
[TP]
Resumed winning ways at Leicester in February and backed it up with a good second of 6 there 29 days ago. Not out of things nudged up 1 lb.
