Bongo Man (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who posted his best effort when third in maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in May. However, disappointed in similar event at Huntingdon on return and opening mark looks on the harsh side.

Roadshow (G)
[PT]
Fairly useful winner on Flat in France. Much improved over hurdles when landing 2m Sedgefield handicap in September, showing a good attitude. Disappointed at Kempton next time but given a break since. Back up in trip.

Hidor De Bersy (G)
Ended his time with Tom Symonds on a low note but has fallen appreciably in the weights. Didn't show a great deal starting out for this in January but much better when second at Plumpton on return. Entitled to build on that.

Western Soldier (G)
FAV
All the better for belated return/yard debut when winning at this course (15.2f, good) 2 weeks ago. Up 7 lb but remains well treated on old form.
