Comment: Fair Flat racer; predictably struggled in Aintree Grade 1 on last month's hurdling debut but his clear third at Market Rasen (2m, good) 19 days ago was quite promising, and he has scope to build on that performance here.

Comment: Fair on the Flat; largely consistent over hurdles for Lucinda Russell since December 2023 and easily drew clear to win modest Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft) in March; likely contender under penalty here.

Comment: Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling.

Comment: Won C&D maiden a year ago and made good progress in handicaps towards end of last season; creditable fourth of 16 in valuable mares' series final at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month and commands respect here.

Comment: Soundly beaten when tried over 3m this month but made quite encouraging stable debut over 2m3f in April and has become very well handicapped on older form; interesting to see whether combination of drop back in trip, refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie enables a revival.
