33/1
Has been struggling since handicapper raised him for winning twice last season and may need to come back down the ratings before getting competitive again.

Returns to hurdles after pulling-up on chasing debut last time out. Tries this longer trip for the first time today.

20/1
Scored a four-timer a couple of seasons ago but suffered at the hands of the handicapper for those exploits. Starting to come back down the weights now although still a few pounds above last winning mark.

Delgany Demon47
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-6| J: T E Whelan| T: N B King| OR:  124
9/1
Switches back to hurdles after an unsuccessful spell over fences and is back below his last winning mark. Trainer and jockey combo one race last year.

Age: 11|  Weight: 11-6| J: Jake Greenall| T: P R Webber| OR:  124
25/1
Failed to complete on both starts since off the track for 21 months. Back hurdling on a decent enough mark but does have to prove he still has ability to be competitive.

Mont Choisy54
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR:  124
12/1
Has been disappointing in three starts this season after a successful novice campaign last term although handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him in the weights.

Age: 10|  Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR:  123
10/1
Well-handicapped on best form but all his winning seems to come at Chepstow on heavy ground these days.

Catching On25
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Savage(7)| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  122
14/1
Hasn't stood much racing since finishing fifth in the Scottish National and needs to show a lot more than recent starts to be competitive.

Horse silk
Spellbound31
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: James Banks| T: A King| OR:  115
20/1
Pulled up on first start for 635 days at Fontwell last time out and hard to assess at present. Trainer has a 26% strike-rate at track with hurdlers in last two years.
10
Horse silk
Desert Retreatb126
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  111
9/2
Still a maiden after 9 NH starts but has shown promise on last two starts and did finish second behind the classy Elgin on his final bumper start. Trainer also has a good record at the track in recent seasons (22% strike-rate).
11
Horse silk
Court Frontier6(ex 7)
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: Paul Morgan| OR:  110
2/1
Comes here off the back of a comfortable winner over fences at Chepstow and is able to run off the same mark (110). Enjoys testing ground and likely to run well under these conditions.
12
Horse silk
Godsmejudgep,t31
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR:  108
9/1
Long time since he ran over hurdles and although on a long losing spell at present he has shown more promise recently and can run off a lower mark over hurdles than over fences.

Forecasts

Court Frontier (2/1), Desert Retreat (9/2), Delgany Demon (9/1), Godsmejudge (9/1), Awaywiththegreys (10/1), Mont Choisy (12/1), Catching On (14/1), Ballywilliam (14/1), Spellbound (20/1), Top Billing (20/1), Sixty Something (25/1), Moidore (33/1)

Verdict

COURT FRONTIER was raised 13lbs for his win over fences last week but is able to run off his old mark back over hurdles and connections look to have found a good opening for him. Desert Retreat has been hinting on recent starts that a win isn't far off and Godsmejudge may also be a danger off his featherweight and lowly hurdle mark. 1. Court Frontier 2. Desert Retreat 3. Godsmejudge
