10/1
Been racing on the Flat recently including when second at Southwell a month ago. Fell early on on latest start over hurdles but has placed off higher marks than this in the past and has a good conditional in the saddle here.

11/8
Successful in a weak maiden hurdle at Huntingdon 12 months ago but stepped up on previous handicap efforts when second at Sandown two weeks ago. Interesting to see if he can repeat that here.

16/1
Beaten as an odds-on favourite in a match race over fences at Leicester in December and well beaten at Sedgefield on his return to hurdles in January. Has a bit to prove at present.

40/1
Been contesting low grad handicaps on the Flat of late and hasn't been seen over obstacles since finishing last of four in a selling hurdle in December. Needs to step up on recent form to figure.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: Mr Aiden Blakemore(10)| T: S A Harris| OR:  110
9/2
Finished fourth at Cartmel on his penultimate hurdles outing in June 2016 but well beaten at Haydock on his return to action in December. Likely to have improved for that run and rated just 2lb higher than for his C&D success here 13 months ago.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-3| J: Robert Williams| T: E G Bevan| OR:  110
12/1
Winner on heavy ground at Warwick over this trip in January 2016 but had just four outings since and well beaten at the same track last time out. Needs to step up on that to contend here.

Leviathan17
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-1| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  108
7/1
Useful horse on the Flat in his youth and placed off an 18lb higher mark as recently as November 2015. Has displayed only limited signs of ability since however but falling handicap mark should help him in this.

Sunday Central9
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Sherwood| T: T H Weston| OR:  105
7/1
Not beaten far in a couple of bumpers for previous yard and finished third for current one at Uttoxeter in December. Tried over a variety of trips since without success and more needed here.
9
Horse silk
Maid Of Tuscany126
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: S Corby| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  103
28/1
Winner on the Flat at Catterick in October but well beaten in that sphere subsequently and return to hurdling in selling company resulted in a 10L defeat. Usual blinkers left off here and a bit to prove at present.

Forecasts

Centurius (11/8), Hear The Chimes (9/2), Sunday Central (7/1), Leviathan (7/1), Serenity Now (10/1), Bold Duke (12/1), Prince Khurram (16/1), Maid Of Tuscany (28/1), Cappielow Park (40/1)

Verdict

SERENITY NOW ran well off a higher mark at Musselburgh on his penultimate start over hurdles nearly 13 months ago and can gain a third success in this sphere under top weight here. The selection can can see off the recent Sandown second Centurius here while the veteran Leviathan is taken to fill the final placing in a competitive conditionals event. 1. Serenity Now 2. Centurius 3. Leviathan
