Starman (G)
[HT]
Ex-Irish gelding has shown his form for this yard only when second at Catterick on New Year's Day. Hard to fancy after 2 lacklustre efforts.

Gower Prince (G)
[H]
Fair handicap chaser at best for Nigel Twiston-Davies but showed nothing in 5 starts after rejoining Matt Sheppard. Another stable switch needs to have worked the oracle.

Forsa Bay (G)
[V]
Matched best hurdles form at first attempt when third here (19.2f) in December. Step back in right direction when third at Hereford (2m, good) 18 days ago and he remains low mileage in this sphere.

Miss Ellie Callwood | L Morgan | 6 | 74.4 kg |

It's Party Time (G)
In the frame in Irish points and was pulled up on his first 2 hurdles starts before finishing last of 4 at Doncaster 23 days ago. Worth betting check making quick switch to chasing for handicap debut.

Cawthorne Cracker (G)
[PT]
Dual winner over hurdles in the first half of last season and back at his best over fences when second in handicap at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in September. Shaped as if still in form back hurdling when last seen in October and is considered i…

Kally Des Bruyeres (G)
FAV
[T]
Notched second career success over hurdles at Huntingdon last month and showed aptitude on his debut in this sphere when fourth of 6 at Taunton (2m, good to soft) 27 days ago. Player if able to step forward with that experience under his b…

Lone Soldier (G)
Free-going type who is a long-standing maiden, though was placed over C&D in January and over hurdles at Southwell in March. Steadily closing when unseating 3 out here 3 weeks ago and place claims seem realistic again.

Beat The Edge (G)

Not one for maximum faith (has promised more than delivered) and he's usually easy to take on for the win.
