Lady Pretender (M)
Returned from a third breathing operation to finally get off the mark in handicap chase at Plumpton last month. That was a weak 3-runner affair but this might not be a great deal stronger.

Charlie Deutsch | Miss V Williams | 7 | 76.2 kg |

Wings On Wheels (G)
[T]
Has hinted at ability in novice hurdles in recent months and this former point runner-up could prove a different proposition now switching to fences for his handicap debut.

R T Dunne | Ian Williams | 7 | 75.7 kg |

Kingoftheswingerz (G)
[PT]
Hurdle winner who made a successful debut over fences at Worcester in September but went backwards from that when remote sixth at Uttoxeter 5 weeks later. Given a bit of time since and seems to go well fresh.

James Bowen | H Dickin | 7 | 75.7 kg |

O'Grady's Hill (M)
Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper/maiden hurdle for Harry Derham in summer 2024 but finished well held in a course handicap hurdle last month on her return from an absence for a new yard. Might be best watched now chasing.

James Best | S-J Davies | 7 | 73 kg |

Black Occ (G)
[P1]
Modest maiden hurdler in 2023/24. Pulled up on return from long absence in October and can only be watched now chasing 12 weeks on. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Tom Broughton | Sheila Lewis | 7 | 73 kg |

Yorgunnabeplucky (G)
[P]
Much improved when off the mark on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m) in June. Similar form in defeat since but he has been a bit laboured, including in cheekpieces (retained) last time.

Conor Ring | Evan Williams | 6 | 69.9 kg |

Emberscombe (M)
Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who is opposable again.

Outback Frontiers (G)
[P]
Fair winning hurdler. Runner-up finish over C&D in November is the closest he's gone over fences. Behind when pulled up after rider lost irons at Windsor latest.

R Patrick | J G M O'Shea | 10 | 64.4 kg |
