Very consistent sort who has been running well since joining this yard, despite just one win to his name. A little below par last time out over C&D but no surprise to see him bounce back from that and handicapper has dropped him 2lb.
Too fresh on return to action at Wincanton last month, finishing a tailed off fifth of 11. Drop back in trip not certain to suit but opening handicap mark looks stiff enough.
Winner of a bumper at Lingfield in December and some fair efforts on good ground over hurdles since (tailed off on sole start on soft ground). Should be thereabouts again if the first-time cheekpieces improve him a little.
Winner on debut under Rules in a bumper but bit of a mixed bag since. Needs to jump with more fluency to be involved in the shake up here but handicap mark looks fair enough on what he's achieved.
Made very little impression when trained in France and sent off 50/1 for his GB debut last month when pulled up over hurdles at Wincanton. Hard to fancy off the back of that effort; wears a first-time tongue-tie.
Still a maiden after eight starts (seven over hurdles) and needs to brush up on his jumping, particularly when under pressure. Well beaten last time at Southwell and less exposed types likely to be a big danger.
Hinted at ability in the spring on second and third start but pulled up in three runs since and his jumping let him down last time at Exeter. First-time cheekpieces go on but likely to struggle.
Well backed to deliver at Southwell last time out but raced far too keenly and done with before turning for home. Better ground here may help and first-time tongue-tie goes on but hard to fancy with her latest effort still fresh in the memory.
Won a point-to-point back in 2015 and fairly useful in that sphere but no signs hurdling is her bag on latest starts and has an absence to overcome.

Forecasts
Rainy Day Dylan (9/4), Burrows Lane (4/1), Flemcara (9/2), Cup Of Ambition (11/2), Phoenix Dawn (11/2), Blazon (8/1), Camron De Chaillac (9/1), Goodgirlteresa (20/1), Scrupuleux (50/1), Goodnightirene (100/1)
BURROWS LANE's consistency is hard to knock and after the handicapper has given him a 2lb drop at the weights, he may be worth siding with despite having just one win to his name. Blazon should run his race provided conditions don't turn against him while Rainy Day Dylan could play his part if he jumps better today.
