Sunglider12
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR:  80
10/1
Has done well since joining his current yard from Dermot Weld's stable, winning twice and being placed on several occasions. Has gone up in the weights accordingly, but looked as good as ever when winning at Beverley after a break and should be in the mix off 4lb higher.

Age: 8|  Weight: 9-7| J: Neil Farley| T: E J Alston| OR:  80
28/1
Won twice last summer, but ended the campaign on a low note. Not much encouragement from his reappearance run at Pontefract, but he is 3lb lower and should strip fitter.

Wannabe Friends21
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR:  79
11/8
Lightly-raced 4yo who made a pleasing reappearance when second of 14 over C&D last month. A slow burner for his shrewd stable, he could well be primed to strike.

Tomahawk Kid14
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: Ian Williams| OR:  79
5/1
Produced a good level of form last season, winning twice, including at this course, and ran well for a long way over 1m at Doncaster on his first outing since being gelded. The longer trip should suit and he ought to be sharper after his first outing of the season.

Toulson220
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR:  78
5/1
Has run only five times on turf, winning at this trip at Sandown in September. Only 2lb higher in this and improvement is on the cards, but fitness on his first outing of the season could be an issue.

Panko14
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd(3)| T: E De Giles| OR:  77
8/1
Solid and reliable performer last season during which he won twice. Shaped as though in need of his reappearance run at Haydock and likely to be sharper this time.

Westward Ho19
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-4| J: Nathan Evans(3)| T: J D Bethell| OR:  77
16/1
His one success so far has come on the AW at Newcastle, but he has had only a handful of starts and it is early days. Needs to step up on his reappearance run at Pontefract where he was slowly away.

Cornborough32
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford| OR:  70
10/1
Winning hurdler who found the 1m trip much too short when down the field at Pontefract last time. This looks more suitable for him, having finished third over C&D last October.

No Win No Fee21
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-9| J: J F Egan| T: B Leavy| OR:  68
50/1
Former useful dual-purpose performer who has shown little in two hurdles and an AW Flat start for his current trainer. Hard to fancy on the back of those efforts.

Forecasts

Wannabe Friends (11/8), Toulson (5/1), Tomahawk Kid (5/1), Panko (8/1), Sunglider (10/1), Cornborough (10/1), Westward Ho (16/1), Lord Franklin (28/1), Della Valle (33/1), No Win No Fee (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty of these are in with a chance, including top weight Sunglider, Tomahawk Kid and Panko, but the one who could rate much higher in time is WANNABE FRIENDS, who has been brought along slowly by his canny trainer and looks ready to pounce.
  1. Wannabe Friends
  2. Tomahawk Kid
  3. Panko
