Moroder (G)
[B]
Dual winner of the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster but is hard to catch right nowadays and is easily passed over.

Wicked Thoughts (G)
[P]
Won novice handicap on chasing debut at this course in November. Creditable third of 6 in handicap chase here (23f, good, 3/1) on latest run in March and one to consider now stepping up in trip.

Autonomous Cloud (G)
[PT]
Failed to justify strong support on first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February. Drops in grade and should be suited by the return to this longer trip.

Puddlesinthepark (G)
[P]
Made it 4 wins from 5 starts when landing 3-runner handicap at Ffos Las (3½m, good) in October. Hasn't been in the same form since but is down in grade and refitted with cheekpieces here.

Always Busy (G)
FAV
Took a step back in the right direction when second of 5 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Remains on the same mark here (due to go up 1 Ib) and has to be taken seriously back at a course where he's gone well…

Anytrixwilldo (G)
[P]
Unpredictable sort on the whole but returned to form with a pair of runner-up efforts at Ludlow in recent months. However, he's 3 Ib higher in the weights than when winning this last year and may have to settle for another minor role.
