Can race a bit keenly and hasn't been getting home in his races, so the addition of the hood this evening looks a positive move. As such, not really in ant great form so hopes rather pinned on the headgear here on first run for new yard.
Not pulling up any trees in recent starts and well beaten off in a selling hurdle at Fakenham on latest start. Needs a market check as this is weak, and yard always capable of landing a gamble, but others have stronger claims.
Big prices all starts to date but ran much better at Southwell on latest outing, not beaten that far and looking a threat two out before fading. Needs to build on that but not badly handicapped, and chances if doing so.
Was a C&D winner here around this time last year, but it's all rather gone downhill in the main since then, although has given clues all might not be completely lost. May not want too much rain and clearly risky, but not totally discounted.
A regular in these events and wins one every now and then, but not in any great form at present and despite handicapper giving him every chance, needs to improve on recent effort to hold a leading chance.
Not disgraced in a novice hurdle here in February and the form of that is working out okay, but a big disappointment on handicap debut when pulling his chance away. Hood added now, and too soon to write off, but needs to bounce back.
Still a maiden after 50 starts although came close to breaking his duck at Towcester latest, leading and only finding the improving Londonia too good. Different ground to contend with here and that 0-50 stat is offputting.
Generally consistent and happy on most ground and trips from 2m - 2m4f but not seen out for almost a year now and will probably need this run to put him straight.
Did win a novice hurdle at Sedgefield (for Gordon Elliott) last September but not really in and great form at present and looks regressive. Mark falling but she shows no signs of being able to take advantage.
Longstanding maiden that occasionally runs better than his odds will suggest is likely, and whilst conditions fine here, others readily make more appeal for win purposes.

Northandsouth (3/1), Orion's Might (9/2), Lucy Mc (9/2), Pension Madness (8/1), Dr Dunraven (17/2), Petrucci (9/1), Baraboy (10/1), First Of Never (11/1), Aaman (11/1), Lickpenny Larry (12/1), Moss Street (14/1)
Lots of these have something to prove, and caution is advised. A chance is taken on PENSION MADNESS, who may have a bit of improvement to come and hasn't shaped badly on either of his last couple of starts. The yard are going well and he may be able to get on the scoresheet. Petrucci is another that might be going the right way and if building on his latest effort, can get in the places. Orion's Might finds winning hard but may pick up some more place money.
