Madajovy (G)
[P]
Modest maiden. First run since leaving Dan Skelton when pulled up in handicap at Southwell (2½m, good) 20 days ago, losing touch 4 out. Can only watch after that. Cheekpieces are refitted.

Tuba (G)
FAV
Pulled up on his previous hurdle start for Fergal O'Brien but has won 3 on all-weather Flat since, including last twice. Looks to have found a good opportunity back over hurdles.

Dame In Disguise (M)
[P]
Well beaten in a trio of bumpers. Has fared no better switched to hurdles but handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance.

Popa Rich (G)
Found a bit improvement when placed twice over 2¾m at Cartmel last summer. Pulled up on Perth reappearance 18 days ago but might strip fitter now and the yard has had 2 winners recently.

The Kings Soldier (G)
Showed his first form for the switch to a handicap/longer trip (following a breathing operation) when fourth of 10 at Stratford last month. Didn't come close to reproducing that when remote sixth at Uttoxeter since, though.
