Useful horse in Ireland a couple of years ago and contesting competitive handicaps in most recent outings. Well beaten fifth on final outing for previous stable over 3m1f at Fairyhouse in February and drops in trip on debut for new yard here.
Successful off a 13lb lower mark at Musselburgh in January and subsequently finished runner-up in a Listed handicap at the same track a month later. Well beaten at the Cheltenham Festival last time out but likely to find this much easier.
Still held chances when falling two out at Ludlow in February and ran well when finishing runner-up at Fontwell off this mark last month. Stable have a 21% strike-rate (9/42) in recent weeks and an interesting contender here.
Finished a well beaten runner-up when seeking a treble over 2m4f at Sedgefield in December. previously successful twice at Carlisle and making his handicap debut here with the trip and ground both likely to suit.
Winner of two of his last three outings including when justifying favouritism over 2m4f on good-to-firm ground at Wincanton in October. Races off a 6lb higher mark in this contest and interesting on his first start in six months.

Derintoher Yank (5/2), Applesandpierres (11/4), Dominada (7/2), Guitar Pete (4/1), Deserter (7/1), Lord Wishes (10/1)
APPLESANDPIERRES held a decent chance when departing two from home on his penultimate outing at Ludlow in February and ran well subsequently when finishing runner-up at Fontwell last month. The selection races off the same mark here and can take this for his in form yard. Of his rivals Derintoher Yank chases his third win in four starts having finished runner-up last time out while Deserter is another of interest returning from a break here.
