Asian Spice (M)
Successful 4 times in handicap hurdles, with 3 of her victories here. Hasn't taken to fences in recent starts but can't rule out a revival back hurdling given her good record here.

Imperial Jade (M)
[T]
Seems to have lost her way, including always behind on AW Flat when last seen in January. Her hopes are pinned on a 12-week break sparking a revival.

Green Sky (M)
[P]
Best effort over hurdles for present yard when 2 lengths fourth of 7 at Newton Abbot (17f, good) 13 days ago. Claims if she can build on that.

Mr Jukebox (G)
FAV
Fair form in bumpers. No better than modest form in his 3 maiden hurdles in recent months but appeals as likely improver now switching to a handicap. Gets the vote.

Harry Bannister | W Greatrex | 5 | 74.8 kg |

Stone Cold (G)
[T]
Showed a fair level of ability in 2 Irish bumpers for Stuart Crawford but has yet to better modest form over hurdles, finishing only eighth on last month's 2m Warwick handicap debut with a tongue tie added (retained). NON RUNNER.

Stinginhisstep (G)
Keen-going sort who landed a pair of handicap wins over 18.5f at Newton Abbot last summer. Off since finishing a creditable third over 21.5f there in October so much depends on whether he's fully primed after his break.

Taritino (G)
Improved to win a 19f Taunton handicap (good to soft) last month. Might have found the run coming too soon when only third (20.5f) off the same mark a week later.

This Sway (G)
[P]
Showed improved when landing a gamble in 2m handicap at Southwell (soft) in March, making all. Faced competition for the lead when only a respectable fourth at Chepstow (2m, good) since. The first-time cheekpieces worn in Wales are retaine…

Rangatira Jack (G)
FAV
Gained a breakthrough success over fences here (19f, good) last April but has failed to fire since, including last of 7 at Wincanton only 16 days ago. It remains to be seen if a return to hurdling helps matters.

James Best | Miss L Blackford | 8 | 70.8 kg |

Mrs Pen (M)
Beaten a long way in 3 maiden hurdles this spring. More realistic chance now handicapping but still hard to make a strong case for.

Chad Bament | T Dennis | 7 | 66.2 kg |

Anothermanicmonday (G)
No promise in a bumper and 3 hurdles but worth a second looking in the betting now handicapping after 3 months off. The stable also runs Stinginhisstep.
