Sleeping Late (G)
Showed fair form when in the frame all 3 outings over hurdles last season and shaped better than seventh of 8 suggests on Huntingdon handicap debut 4 weeks ago, faltering late on soft ground. This sharper test should suit.

Zenato (G)
[T]
Arrives on the back of a double under this rider in recent months. 7 lb higher now but going the right way and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Same trainer/jockey combination won this last year.

Merely A Detail (M)
[T]
Fair bumper scorer who has shown similar form when placed in 3 maiden/novice hurdles. Her opening mark isn't obviously generous but she brings unexposed potential.

R T Dunne | T Bulgin | 4 | 73 kg |

Snapius (G)
[B]
Runner-up finishes at Ludlow and Sandown in handicap hurdles in February. Creditable third on Leicester reappearance in November but in the same form when a well-held fifth there 11 days ago. Bounce back needed in refitted blinkers.

Ben Bromley | James Owen | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Codetalker (G)
FAV
Maiden pointer. Promise when reaching the frame in 2 maiden hurdles this autumn but disappointing last of 6 switched to handicap company at Warwick since, despite being strong in the betting.

Charlie Hammond | S Edmunds | 5 | 71.2 kg |

Miss Maxfort (M)
[H]
Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who was a creditable third of 12 in 2m Chepstow handicap (soft) on her first outing for Des Donovan. Consistency wasn't her strong suit in Ireland but claims if showing up here in similar form.

Tom Cannon | D Donovan | 5 | 70.8 kg |
