Ironica De Thaix (G)
[P]
French bumper winner in 2021 but he has made the track only 6 times since, pulling up on all 3 outings last season (fences last twice). Plenty to prove at present.

Jiair Madrik (G)

Fair hurdler/chaser in France. Yet to reproduce that level in Britain but his mark continues to slide.

Quickasican (G)
[TP]
Placed first 3 starts over hurdles in 2022/23 for Rebecca Menzies. Best for new yard after huge absence when second in 2½m Newcastle handicap last month but pulled up at Hexham since.

King Of The Story (G)
[T]
Can makes mistakes but it didn't prevent him landing a trio of 2½m handicaps chases in the first half of last season. Returned from a break with a creditable fourth of 12 at Fontwell (19f, good) 22 days ago. Likely to be on the premises.

Beep Beep Becky (M)
[T1]
Failed to pull up any trees in 4 runs over hurdles but was runner-up in a point earlier in her career and could fare better now switching to chasing with a first-time tongue strap enlisted. One to note in the betting.

Universal Secret (G)

[TP]
Took advantage of a much-reduced mark back from 3 months off (had another breathing operation) when seeing off 8 rivals at Wincanton (2½m, soft) in February. Even better form when runner-up on good ground there since. Likely to give anothe…

King Of Cong (G)
[V1T]
Responded well to the addition of cheekpieces when runner-up in handicap chase at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in November but has lost his way since, including pulling up twice back at Hexham this spring. Remains to be seen if a change of he…

Rockvale (G)
Lightly-raced sort who has yet to better poor form under Rules, although he did move comfortably for a long way in 3m Bangor handicap chase last time and this return to 2½m may suit.
