William Cody (G)
Three-time C&D winner who arrives here in good form, albeit adding another frustrating short-odds in-running defeat to his record when second at Wetherby (19.4f) in March, travelling best but collared close home. Cheekpieces discarded now …

Hurricane Bay (G)
[PT]
Dual hurdles winner who improved over fences when bagging 2 handicaps in the first half of last year. Second in small field at Doncaster in November on the back of a breathing operation but has gone the wrong way since, not for the first t…

Ice In The Veins (G)
[H]
Won back-to-back small-field novice hurdles in November. Run below that level in trio of handicaps since but easy to overlook his latest effort having had little chance from his position. Mark has eased further ahead of switch to chasing a…

Pep Talking (G)

[P]
Built up a very healthy strike rate over fences, putting in an assured round of jumping when adding to his tally at Chepstow (2m) 4 weeks ago. Easy to envisage this likeable type playing a lead role again from 7 lb higher mark back up in t…

Koapey (G)
Maiden winner over hurdles and bettered that form when second at Uttoxeter on handicap/chase debut in October. However, he's failed to complete on all 3 runs since, (looked set for remote second at best) when falling 2 out in race won by P…

Big Boy Barney (G)
[T]
Point winner who opened his Rules account on second chase start over C&D in March. Similar form from revised mark when third at Southwell (20.5f) 5 weeks ago, though again showing a suspect attitude under pressure. Others preferred for win…
