Dual winner at Ludlow in 2015 including over hurdles when odds-on favourite. Disappointing since however including when fourth in a handicap hurdle at Towcester in November. Makes his return from an absence here.
Registered a double in November 2015 but well beaten since. Pulled up over fences the last twice and plenty to prove back over hurdles in first time cheekpieces here.
Winner on his rules debut for previous stable here nearly last May. Well held on debut for this stable over 3m on good ground at Taunton last month. Ran better than the bare result suggested on that occasion and likely to run better dropped in trip today.
Wore a tongue tie for the first time when returning from 22 months off the track to finish 6L second at Taunton last month. Interesting to see how he fairs dropped in trip here.
Ran well when finishing 15L third of 16 at Doncaster in January 2016 but hasn't been seen since. Races off a 5lb lower mark here and worth a check in the market with a good amateur jockey booked in the saddle here.
Bumper winner here in July 2015 and ran well twice in hurdle races here last summer. Lightly raced for one of his age and returns from over nine months off the track as he makes his handicap debut here.
Finished runner-up twice over 2m1f here in June last year. Finished a 13L third in a selling event over 2m3f at Taunton last month and upped in trip today (winner over C&D in a selling handicap in 2015).
Victorious over 2m3f at Taunton on good ground in November 2016. Finished runner-up at Wincanton the following month and likely to run well here with this step up in trip likely to suit here.

Forecasts
Lets Go Dutchess (7/2), Sebastian Beach (4/1), Plan Again (4/1), Ascotdeux Nellerie (9/2), Waterloo Warrior (11/2), Shanty Town (6/1), Aunty Ann (8/1), Jaboltiski (8/1), Arthur Burrell (12/1), I'llhavealook (14/1), Ice Konig (16/1), Agincourt Reef (20/1)
AUNTY ANN ran well until weakening before two out last time out and shaped as if this drop back in trip would suit on that occasion. The selection ran well off this mark when runner-up at Ludlow for his previous stable in January and can register her second success under rules in this contest. Lets Go Dutchess can chase the selection home off a light weight here with the step up in trip likely to suit while Waterloo Warrior from the Colin Tizzard stable can claim third.
