Royal Infantry (G)
[TP1]
Course winner who is largely running well without winning this season, though he didn't find as much as seemed likely when ninth of 13 in 21f handicap hurdle at Kempton 32 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now.

Idy Wood (G)
Likeable sort who bagged handicaps at Uttoxeter in September and Kempton (21f) in November. Well held in Pertemps at Cheltenham Festival last time but he's the sort to bounce back.

La Pinsonniere (M)
[P]
Useful form in France and posted best effort so far for current yard when third of 13 in 21f handicap at Kempton last month. Possibilities off the same mark.

George's Lad (G)
Doncaster maiden hurdle winner last season and running well in defeat in handicaps this term until a below-par fifth at Kempton on Boxing Day. Returns after a breathing operation.

Irandando Has (G)
French recruit who made it 2-3 for his current handler in 9-runner novice hurdle at Newcastle (17f) last month. Goes up in trip for his handicap debut and needs considering.

Johnson's Blue (G)
Course winner who jumped none too fluently when third of 4 in 23f handicap chase at Newcastle 32 days ago. Return to hurdling will suit him.

Huffin An A Puffin (G)
Won on his hurdling debut at Newbury (for Harry Derham) and defied a near 2-year absence when following up for his new yard in 19f Doncaster handicap in February. Pulled up in Newbury handicap last time though and has since undergone a bre…

Masked Dance (M)
Resumed winning ways at Ludlow in December and has bettered that form with very good second placings there since, latterly in 3m handicap 48 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb.

Below The Radar (G)
Winless since March 2024 but in very good nick this season, third of 14 in handicap at Uttoxeter last month. Another bold showing is on the cards at these weights.

Analiese (M)
FAV
Likeable front-runner who landed 2½m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Aintree either side of Christmas. Notched again in 19f handicap at Chepstow last month and he must enter calculations despite a 3 lb rise.

Le Tiep's Sacre (G)
French recruit who got off the mark for his current yard in Fontwell maiden last March. Returned from 12 months off with an encouraging fifth of 13 in 21f Kempton handicap 32 days ago. Still low-mileage and very much one to consider off an…
