16/1
Winner of a 2m4f handicap chase at Clonmel (heavy) on final outing for previous yard in Ireland last month. Best form has come on soft and heavy ground and remains to be seen how he'll handle the predicted better ground today.

20/1
Finished third on second outing for this yard at Taunton in November but well beaten since then including against some very useful rivals. Rated 5lb lower than when well held in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton in January and worth a market check.

Had just eight starts since winning at Exeter in November 2014. Beaten 29L at Hereford in a handicap chase over 3m1f last time out and interesting dropped in trip here.

7/2
Winner of a maiden point-to-point in March 2015 and finished third on all five outings under rules. Beaten favourite in a five runner contest at Market Rasen last time and likely to run well again with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

7/2
Successful over 2m on good ground here when wearing a hood in addition to the usual tongue tie. Caries a penalty for that success and entitled to respect with a good jockey booked to ride.

Barton Rose37
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-10| J: R Johnson| T: C E Longsdon| OR:  108
8/1
Winner of her penultimate start at Leicester in February but pulled up at the same track next time out. Steps back up to 2m3f here and interesting to see how she fares.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: T J O'Brien| T: Evan Williams| OR:  107
14/1
Recorded a double in November including over 3m at this track. Well beaten since scoring at Hereford off a 3lb lower mark on soft ground over 2m3f but remains of interest here.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: James Nixon(7)| T: A W Carroll| OR:  104
12/1
Six time winner in France including twice over fences for previous yard. Handicap mark now 16lb lower than for his debut for this stable and market support would be noteworthy.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S-J Davies| OR:  100
25/1
Placed off a 5lb lower mark over hurdles at Bangor in December but disappointing twice since in that sphere. Well beaten at Hereford in November when last seen out over fences and a bit to prove here.

Horse silk
Kings Cross29
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: A W Carroll| OR:  100
8/1
Finished third the last twice in six runner contests. Beaten over 14L at Uttoxeter over 2m4f when last in action on the racecourse a month ago and well handicapped here with his last win coming off an 8lb higher mark.

Beaten 3L when finishing second in a 2m5f handicap chase on soft ground here last month. That effort was his first racecourse appearance in 10 months and likely to run well once more.

Forecasts

Looks Like Power (7/2), Stage One (7/2), Cawdor House Bert (5/1), Kings Cross (8/1), Barton Rose (8/1), Headly's Bridge (8/1), Kingston (12/1), Copper Birch (14/1), Maguire's Glen (16/1), Ratify (16/1), Seven Nation Army (20/1), Chankillo (25/1)

Verdict

LOOKS LIKE POWER can take this under a penalty having won over 2m here last week. The selection was having just his second start over fences on that occasion and there may well be more to come. Cawdor House Bert carries bottom weight here and ran well on his return to action here last month while Stage One is another to note here with Dan Skelton's horses running well at present.
