Super Citizen (G)
[P]
Has a good record here, with wins in this race last season as well as over 3¼m in November. Plugged on into the placings on his last 2 starts over C&D and though he's back at a similar mark from which he took this last year, he may be more…

Baptism Of Fire (G)
[P]
One-time fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser for Henry de Bromhead, but no recent form and increasingly looks one to avoid.

Girls Best Friend (G)
Made a winning start in this sphere at Uttoxeter in November and backed it up with a good second at Market Rasen. Put a blip on heavy ground behind him with a good second at Exeter 18 days ago (just failed) and he's still less exposed than…

Jamesieconn (G)

[T]
Back on the up for his current yard when landing 8-runner handicap chase at Newcastle at the start of March before following up in game fashion at Doncaster (3¼m, good to soft) a week later. Remains on a competitive mark and return to righ…

Don Brocco (G)
Only poor nowadays but he produced his best effort for some time from 5 lb out of the weights when runner-up in an 11-runner handicap at Hexham (4m) 10 days ago. That was a hard race and he'll do well to back that up for all he does have w…

Voleur De Terres (M)
Dual winning Irish pointer caused a major surprise from 5 lb out of the handicap when winning at Leicester in February and confirmed that was no fluke when following up at Warwick a week later, again impressing with her jumping. Likely to …

Kingofthegame (G)
[P]
Limited sort but at least shaped as if retaining the bulk of his ability after a year off when fifth in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Newcastle 67 days ago. Back over fences now with stamina to prove.

Steal The Moves (G)
[P]
Maiden but shaped like the best horse at the weights when second in this headgear at Ffos Las in February, tiring final 100 yds after kicking on early. Should be in the mix if able to back that up from 2 lb higher.
