U Cant Be Serious (G)
Fairly useful winning hurdler who has upped his game again to win a pair of 19f Exeter handicap chases this winter. The type to go on improving.

Queensbury Boy (G)
[T]
Bumper/dual hurdle winner for Harry Derham who was a respectable fifth of 6 on last month's Cheltenham chase/handicap debut for new trainer Mickey Bowen, already held when hampered last. May do better.

Krak (G)
Handicap hurdle winner at Cork in April on his final start for Stuart Crawford. Well held in Persian War at Chepstow on stable debut but ran better when third in 2m Sandown handicap on chase debut since. Should be better for that experienc…

Noble Park (G)
FAV
Failed to win over hurdles but different proposition over fences, making it 2-2 when easily seeing off 5 rivals at Lingfield (2½m, good) 29 days ago. Even an 11 lb rise could prove lenient with further improvement likely.

N de Boinville | N J Henderson | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Jasmine Bliss (M)
[T]
Irish point winner who landed maiden/novice hurdle wins around 21f last season. Travelled well but faded into ninth in EBF Mares' Final at Newbury on handicap debut when last seen in March. Switches to fences for her reappearance.

Secret Des Dieux (G)
Dual hurdle winner who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner Fakenham novice handicap (2m, good to soft) in October. Bettered that form when third of 7 at Newbury (2m again) since. This return to a longer trip may unlo…

Barlovento (G)
Bumper/hurdle winner who made a good start to his chase career when ½-length second of 9 to reopposing U Cant Be Serious (who has won there again since) on reappearance in November. Open to improvement and 7 lb better off with Joe Tizzard'…

Epic West (G)
Irish point recruit who won 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles last winter. Pitched into a competitive race for his chase/handicap debut after 11 months off but his stable is enjoying an excellent season and it'll be very interesting to s…

Tapley (G)
[T]
Opened account in this sphere when readily taking 8-runner handicap at Wincanton (2½m, good) last month. Creditable fourth of 7 at Doncaster since but it underlines he needs more from his new mark.

Charlie Deutsch | Miss S Smith | 8 | 68.5 kg |

Lumi Plugin (G)
Progressive in handicap hurdles last winter, including a 20.5f Plumpton win, but let down by his jumping when seventh of 8 on Chepstow chase debut/reappearance 20 days ago.
