8/11
Has been a revelation since switching yards in November, having won two recent races over fences, and he returns to hurdles here where he's rated much lower. Has looked a true stayer recently and is entitled to go well again.

15/8
Dual course winner who hasn't won since November 2012 but has gone close on a number of occasions including when just outstayed at Warwick last time (3m2f, soft). Has gone up 4lb but holds claims on that form.

16/1
C&D winner but has been on a very poor run of late, having not placed since December 2013. Very much seems to be past his prime and is best left alone despite sinking in the handicap and first time cheek pieces.

10/1
Hasn't won since October 2014 but has been relatively lightly raced since then and has not been totally without hope in a number of his performances. C&D winner cannot be discounted off his lowest weight in years.

Forecasts

William Money (8/11), Romeo Americo (15/8), Aaly (10/1), Maccabees (10/1), Kilrush (16/1)

Verdict

Of all of these, WILLIAM MONEY has been in by far the best form recently, albeit over fences. Presumably switched back to fences owing to his lower handicap mark, he has been dominating his races recently and gives the impression that there could be more to come despite his age. Fellow 10-year-old Romeo Americo likes it here and is another to consider after a good performance last time out, ahead of Aaly, off what looks an appealing handicap mark.
