11/4
Won over hurdles here on final start in that discipline on this card last year but very disappointing in five efforts over the larger obstacles and failed to justify favouritism last time when a 6/5 favourite for a three-runner contest.

Largely disappointing this season but justified favouritism to score at Ffos Las last time out. 3lb rise for that effort fair and should go well again.

7/2
Only win from 19 starts came here in November but has run okay since and returns off 1lb lower than that mark. More consistent than some of these and may be able to run a place once again.

One win from 19 starts came when 8lb lower than today's mark and he's failed to complete on his last three starts. Has it all to prove now but return to likely faster ground may help.

9/2
Took advantage of a lenient mark at Wetherby in January but has struggled from a revised mark since and quite possibly better on a more galloping track. Not completely dismissed now dropped 3lb by the handicapper.

First run in two years when unseating over C&D last week and some promise in that effort. Possibilities he could bounce but he's on a lenient mark and could go well again.

Just one win over fences to her name and has either failed to finish, or finished tailed off on all her recent starts. Will struggle from out of the handicap.

Not won since 2013 and struggled badly in recent times. Best days no doubt behind him and hard to see him having an effect in this race from 8lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Bronco Billy (11/4), Trojan Star (7/2), Houndscourt (9/2), Rogue Dancer (11/2), How About It (11/2), Amiral Collonges (7/1), Roparta Avenue (12/1), That's The Deal (25/1), Detour Ahead (33/1)

Verdict

ROGUE DANCER was in the process of running a sound race before stumbling and unseating his rider on his return to action after two years off the track last week. He's on a lenient mark if he can build on that effort. Trojan Star usually gives his running and while his strike-rate is poor, he may be able to grab some prize money. Bronco Billy won over hurdles at this course last year but needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time out.
