9/2
Improving with her racing and tanked her way throughout her latest win at Ludlow, so a good pace on up front here will help her. This looks more competitive but no saying she's finished improving yet and with likely conditions to suit, looks a player again.

10/3
Best days behind him now but still capable and turned in his best effort for a while at Haydock latest, staying on late to grab third. May be capable of building on that and too well handicapped on old form to ignore.

Hasn't won one since 2013 and although far from disgraced on recent efforts, he's been staying on too late in his races to get involved. Likely conditions fine and the quicker they go the better. Not discounted, but others preferred.

10/3
Not seen out since March but has gone close after a break before, so absence not an issue. Form had tailed off when last seen but yard now firing on all cylinders and from same mark as when just beaten at Cheltenham last October, can't be discounted.

7/1
Couple of sketchy jumps on the way round but did it nicely enough at Stratford last time, the step up in trip seemingly bringing about the improvement. This is more competitive and he's 8lb higher, so needs improvement again., but can't be totally discounted.

4/1
Can be hit-and-miss, and threw in a bad one at Ayr in between his two recent wins, but acts on the track, stays well and goes on most ground, so has plenty going for him in that regard. Cheekpieces retained after seeming to help him travel better last time, and another with chances.

Forecasts

Big Easy (10/3), Will O'The West (10/3), Doctor Look Here (4/1), Rene's Girl (9/2), Potters Approach (7/1), Easter Day (15/2), Derrintogher Bliss (12/1), Driftwood Haze (20/1)

Verdict

Not easy to discount many of these, and it looks a tricky little event. POTTERS APPROACH gets the vote as he seems to be improving, may well get a fairly easy time of it on the front end here and may well have more to come as he tidies his jumping up a bit. Rene's Girl couldn't have done it much easier at Ludlow last time out and will appreciate a decent pace. She should be up to making an impression. Will O'The West comes from a yard going well and the short break may have done him good.
