Ozzy Cosmo (G)
[T]
Course winner who looked rusty after 7 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle here (16f, soft, 6/1) 30 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

P W Wadge | N W Alexander | 6 | 76.2 kg |

Red Cadillac (G)
Jukebox Jury gelding who made light of an 8-month absence when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft) 21 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's a player once more with few miles on the clock.

Callum Bewley | N G Richards | 6 | 75.7 kg |

Grand Voyage (G)
[PT]
Ended a lengthy losing run over fences at Ayr in March but hasn't offered much in 2 comeback outings (chase and hurdle) last month. Can only watch until showing more.

Joshua Thompson | W Coltherd | 9 | 75.3 kg |

| 6th | 4 | — |
En Avant (G)
Fair hurdler winner for Olly Murphy but he showed little for new connections when a tailed-off fifth in 2m handicap chase at Newcastle 17 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

K Brogan | H McMahon | 9 | 73.5 kg |

Holly Bird (M)
Still a maiden but posted a creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle here (16f, soft) 19 days ago. Not ruled out back in handicap company.

Danny McMenamin | A M Thomson | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Velvet Vulcan (G)
[HT]
Modest 2m Flat winner who posted his best effort in this sphere when sixth of 11 in handicap here (16f, soft) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and needs considering.

Ben Smith | R M Smith | 6 | 67.6 kg |

Bray Dale (G)
Still to get his head in front and he came in only tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward.

King Gris (G)
FAV
Twice made the frame in Irish points but showed no encouragement in a trio of novice hurdles in the spring. Could still do better though now handicapping.
