Winner of his last two outings over hurdles under today's jockey. Latest of those victories came at Warwick last month but has to give weight away all round here.
Winner of each of his last three outings including in a decent looking contest at Haydock last month. Had scored at Warwick prior to that and had the useful Coeur De Lion behind when winning at Sandown in January. Yard have a 25% strike-rate at present (2/8) and likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.
Winner here by 8L in December but disappointed when last of four here subsequently and well held behind today's rival Don Bersy in first time cheekpieces at Haydock last time out. Has a bit to prove at present.
Yet to win over hurdles but beaten just 2L when finishing runner-up at Bangor on his penultimate outing. Well held at Doncaster subsequently and wears a hood for the first time here.
Successful by 8L at Plumpton in December but well held the last twice including in a Grade 2 contest at Kempton a month ago. Cheekpieces (worn successfully on the Flat in the past) return for this.
Victorious at the fourth time of asking over hurdles here when wearing cheekpieces for the first time earlier this month. This contest looks tougher and interesting to see how he fares.
Winner three times over hurdles including at Fontwell in a handicap event on his penultimate outing when odds-on last September. Returned from a break when beaten less than 2L at Sandown earlier this month and an interesting runner here.
Placed three times over hurdles prior to winning at Southwell last time out. Any drying of the ground would likely aid his chance on handicap debut with cheekpieces and tongue tie tried here.
Odds-on when successful on her penultimate outing over hurdles at Ludlow in January. Well beaten when favourite on handicap debut at Market Rasen last time out and has a bit to prove off the same mark here.
Successful by a neck when winning at Sedgefield over 2m1f on heavy ground last month and finished a good second at Sandown on hanidcap debut subsequently. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and likely to run well once more.
Ran well when finishing runner-up on his first two outings over hurdles. Disappointed in claiming company at Leicester on heavy ground last time out and wears a first time visor on handicap debut here.
Forecasts
Don Bersy (2/1), Night Of Sin (9/2), Buckle Street (7/1), Hygrove Percy (8/1), Deauville Crystal (9/1), Dinsdale (12/1), Timoteo (14/1), Castafiore (16/1), Templier (20/1), Dusty Raven (33/1), Final Choice (33/1)
DON BERSY can register a fourth success on the spin by taking this competitive looking juvenile hurdle here. The selection took a competitive affair at Haydock last time and represents a yard that are going well currently (2/8). Hygrove Percy can claim second following a solid fourth off this mark in a handicap event at Sandown two weeks ago while Night Of Sin is another likely to run well on his handicap debut in this.
