Alvesta (M)
Remains winless under both codes. Ran well for fourth of 9 in C&D handicap on latest hurdle start but needs to shrug off a lesser effort on the Flat since.

Keep It Cool (M)
[B]
A fair maiden hurdler for Shark Hanlon in Ireland. Hasn't clicked in 2 outings for the James Owen yard but this prolific stable will likely find the key to her at some point.

Alex Chadwick | James Owen | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Yanka Blue (M)
Modest maiden hurdler, running her best race when second in Sedgefield maiden last month (final start for Alison Thorpe). Respected back in a handicap on first outing for new stable.

R T Dunne | J L Flint | 4 | 74.8 kg |

Our Nel (M)
[H]
Modest hurdler for Harry Fry. Not seen for 19 months but has joined the excellent James Owen yard. Stable also runs Keep It Cool. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibe are strong.

Ben Bromley | James Owen | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Crackerjack Queen (M)
[P1T]
Poor form over hurdles, including remote sixth on Hereford handicap debut with a tongue-tie added 11 days ago. First-time cheekpieces are also fitted now. Still relatively early days for last year's winning yard but improvement will be nee…

Noble Miss (M)
[H]
Successful on the first of 2 outings in Huntingdon bumpers for Rae Guest last autumn but she has been comfortably held on all 4 hurdle starts for this yard, including C&D handicap debut in October.

Hello Sweety (M)

[T]
Hard puller who can make mistakes but has been placed on both completed starts this autumn and this sharp track should play to her strengths.

Casual Encounter (F)
[P]
Poor maiden on the Flat. Similar story over hurdles, although latest Ludlow juvenile fourth in cheekpieces (retained) was a bit better and handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance.
