Clonakilty (G)
[TP]
Hurdles/chase winner for Olly Murphy. Offered little first 3 outings this yard but showed a lot more after a breathing operation when fourth at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago, albeit finding little when it mattered.

Line Of Descent (G)
FAV
[TP]
Off for 21 months prior to February's return and he produced his best effort since that absence when second in this headgear at Plumpton 5 weeks ago, albeit typically let down by his jumping. Has won around here before, though, and is lurk…

Jack's A Legend (G)
[T]
Low-mileage veteran who made a positive start for this yard back from 11 months off when third at Newton Abbot 7 weeks ago, hindered by blunder 2 out. Needs to back it up now, though.

Imperial Rule (G)
[T]
Three-time chase winner for Rebecca Menzies in 2024 and made creditable start for this yard when placed first 2 outings. Next 2 runs not so good, however.

Cardamon Hill (G)

Successful twice over fences (around 3m) in November 2024 for Dianne Sayer but has offered little in 3 comeback outings this spring.

Judicial Review (G)
[BT]
Unreliable but not easy to pass when he's in the mood, as showed when winning twice around here last summer. Well held next 3 starts and market guide back from a break.

Zumbi (G)
[T]
Hurdles winner here. Had lost his way (missed 19 months) but encouraging signs off his much-reduced mark under this rider last 2 starts, runner-up at Newcastle 53 days ago. Cheekpieces still missing but he's of interest.

Italian Spirit (G)
[B]
Winning hurdler for Olly Murphy and though he's clearly not anywhere near the force of old following some long-term absences, he shaped better in this headgear the last twice, runner-up at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago.

Kingofthegame (G)
Still a maiden but has low mileage for an 8-y-o and wasn't disgraced with cheekpieces re-fitted when fourth at Carlisle early last month. However, took a heavy fall tried in a visor at Hexham 3 weeks ago and headgear left off this time.
