Coastguard Station (G)
[P]
Scored at Market Rasen in September and right back on his game of late, second at Hereford before fourth of 9 handicap chase at Aintree (2½m) 16 days ago. Holds good claims.

Hurricane Bay (G)
FAV
[PT]
Unreliable type but capitalised on a falling mark when landing 5-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (2½m) 24 days ago. Also took this 12 months ago so must enter calculations.

Nickelforce (G)
Gained a deserved success at Wincanton in November. Off 5 months and back on track with third of 8 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter 29 days ago. Reliable and a big player eased 1 lb for his in-form handler.

No But I Will (G)
[V]
Not straightforward but largely in good form last season (won over C&D in December) until coming in last of 6 in handicap at Market Rasen (3m) last month. Needs to bounce back.

Tommy Cullen (G)
Got off the mark over fences at Doncaster (2m) last February. Lightly raced since but not disgraced after 6 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Warwick (2m) 27 days ago. Not out of things.
