Paddys Policy (G)
Won a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last December. Promising second at Wetherby on handicap debut in October. Below par when seventh at Aintree 51 days ago. Has had a breathing operation since and can have a say if back on song.

Park Talk (G)
FAV
Shown promise in novice hurdles, finishing second at Stratford (11/1) before a creditable fifth of 15 at Newbury (22/1) 31 days ago, doing plenty in front. Into handicaps now and remains with potential.

Light Fandango (G)
[T]
Won a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter 18 months ago but has struggled since, acknowledging he probably needed the run after 14 months off at Doncaster (10/1) on most recent outing.

C O'Farrell | N P Mulholland | 6 | 75.7 kg |

Aeroplane Blonde (G)
[H]
Shaped well when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (28/1) 45 days ago, staying on despite pulling hard and jumping errors. Hood back on now and remains unexposed.

Golden Move (G)
[T1P]
Fair handicap hurdler at best but has failed to beat a rival both starts for current yard, refusing to settle. Tongue tie goes on but easy to look elsewhere.

Toby Wynne | C N Kellett | 5 | 74.8 kg |

Aim Straight (G)
Fourth in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter but ran worst race when well-beaten sixth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Southwell (8/1) 27 days ago. Making handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark.

C Gethings | A Ralph | 5 | 72.6 kg |

Callin Baton Rouge (M)
Arrives in reasonable heart, finishing sixth of 10 in a hurdle at Huntingdon (33/1) 22 days ago when unsuited by the shorter trip. On a handy mark again but will probably be of more interest when stepping back up in distance.

C J Todd | C & A Pogson | 7 | 72.1 kg |

| 8th | 8 | — |
Tech That (G)
Showed modest ability in novice hurdles and finished sixth of 9 at Uttoxeter (40/1) 59 days ago, needing the run. Breathing operation could bring about improvement on handicap debut.

Finn Lambert | R T Phillips | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Belcamo (G)
Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (11/2) 42 days ago. Possibilities if bouncing back.

Bryan Carver | A M Hales | 4 | 70.8 kg |

Queen Roslyn (M)
Fair handicapper on the Flat who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere, so rates a potential improver.

Platenium (G)
[TP1]
Won a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter 85 days ago but form has declined, finishing 7th of 8 as 5/2 favourite in a hurdle at Southwell 34 days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
