13/8
Point-to-point winner in February 2016 and registered his first rules success when winning by a nose over C&D in first time blinkers on good-to-soft ground in March. Pulled up at Warwick subsequently on heavy ground he's worth a check in the market today.

Successful twice over fences but last victory of any description came in February 2015. Beaten 10½L over an extended 2m6f at Leicester (soft) two months ago he returns from a break today.

Completing a double when winning a handicap hurdle on good ground here in April 2016. Shaped better than in previous 2017 outings when finishing 5¾L last of three over C&D in March and she is an interesting runner in this.

3/1
Beaten odds-on favourite in a match over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month but followed that up with a 5L victory at Fontwell earlier this month. Likely to run well again here off a 7lb higher mark than for that success.

Sole success came over C&D on good ground in April 2016. Out of form since then however including at Huntingdon two weeks ago and needs to return to form to figure in this.

10/1
Both wins have come at this track albeit over considerably shorter distances. Beaten 1¼L into second in a three runner contest over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell (good) last month and tackles 3m+ for the first time since 2015 today.

Forecasts

Royals And Rebels (13/8), Flugzeug (3/1), Roparta Avenue (4/1), Smart Catch (8/1), Killabraher Cross (10/1), Venetian Lad (10/1), Frank N Fair (11/1)

Verdict

Trainer Seamus Mullins has a 25% strike-rate (2/8) recently and his FLUGZEUG can register a fourth course success and a second over this C&D here. The selection raced prominently when winning at Fontwell earlier this month and can follow up that success employing similar tactics in this. Royals And Rebels won over C&D in March and can follow that up by finishing runner-up here following a disappointing performance at Warwick later that month while the mare Frank N Fair can claim third once more here.
