C&D winner on good-to-firm ground off a 4lb higher mark last September. Poor efforts in two runs since returning from a break including at Worcester earlier this month but every chance he will return to form for a good local yard today.
Odds-on favourite when winning a four runner event at Musselburgh (good) in November. Finished runner-up in a 12 runner Taunton handicap hurdle on good-to-firm last time out and a repeat of that effort would see her go close here.
Winner of a bumper over an extended 1m5f at Towcester (soft) in November 2015. Well beaten since and making her debut for this stable on her first outing since August 2016 in this.
Winner five times for previous stables but well beaten on all six outings for current yard. Handicap mark is plummeting as a result and he wears cheekpieces for the first time today.
A maiden after 41 starts (including seven over jumps) he finished well beaten in a selling handicap hurdle at Taunton last month. Makes his debut for a leading yard who have a and worth a 37% strike-rate (10/27) of late and worth check in the market today.
Only win from 26 hurdles starts came at Bangor well over six years ago. Pulled up in a handicap hurdle under an amateur rider here last time out and likely to struggle from out of the handicap here.

Too Many Diamonds (1/1), Taurian (2/1), Osgood (9/2), Movie Magic (10/1), Sebs Sensei (12/1), Water Willow (20/1), It's All An Act (20/1), Nouailhas (33/1)
OSGOOD has finished well beaten in recent starts but was successful over C&D in similar conditions off a 4lb higher mark in September last year. The selection has his regular jockey on board once more today and can get the better of Taurian who is seeking her first hurdles success at the 12th attempt here while Too Many Diamonds, who is a maiden under all codes is an interesting contender on her debut for a leading stable here.
