Caelan (G)
[T]
Won 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in September and plenty of good efforts since, including back from 4 months off under 10-lb conditional (Sean Bowen back on now) behind stablemate at Ffos Las. One to consider.

Inappropriate (G)
[B]
Dual hurdles winner ran better than for a while when second from a falling mark at Newcastle (17f) 5 weeks ago. Winner there has followed up and he's a player if in the same form.

Guet Apens (G)
FAV
[P1T1]
Useful Flat winner in France and has made a fine start over hurdles, scoring at Carlisle (17f) and chasing home a thriving winner at Kelso (21f) 6 weeks ago (might have scored himself but for a late wobble). Drop back in trip will suit and…

Disguisedlimit (G)
Still to win a race despite regularly being sent off at shortish odds for previous yards, jumping poorly in first-time cheekpieces in Bangor handicap chase 8 weeks ago. Headgear left off now making handicap hurdle debut for another new tra…

Maple (G)
Capitalised on a falling mark as he took 17f Sedgefield handicap hurdle last month. Another good effort back on the level at Beverley since and not dismissed.

Zephlyn (G)
[T]
Fit from the Flat (multiple winner over 2m) and ran as well as he has over hurdles making his handicap debut in this sphere when fourth at Perth (2½m) 3 weeks ago. Needs more again up in class.

Roarin' Success (M)
Fairly useful winner at 9f on the level. Some promise over hurdles last season but improvement needed now handicapping.

Emerald Time (G)
Runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on third run over hurdles at Wetherby (2m) 7 weeks ago, his inability to settle essentially costing him a place. Makes handicap debut.

Mr Lincoln (G)
Settled much better than previously on second outing following a breathing operation when failing by a short head in 17f Carlisle handicap hurdle in March. Not so good back on the level in useful Musselburgh handicap since.

Sean Quinlan | I Jardine | 6 | 70.3 kg |

Mojo Ego (G)
[B]
Found some form for the refitting of blinkers last season, finishing runner-up in back-to-back handicaps at Cartmel and shaping well in stronger race over C&D in November. Not so good at Wetherby on Boxing Day and might need this.
