First start for new yard, moderate strike rate over the years and hard to see why he should be any better for the switch today. Hard to fancy.
Well beaten in point-to-points over the past year and pulled up at Chipley Park when last seen out. Can't be entertained as the likely winner.
Twice a winner in point-to-points, the latest coming last spring, placed twice recently and effort at Kilworthy last time a respectable one. Place chances again here.
Moderate over hurdles and done nothing in recent point-to-points to suggest he's up to taking a hand in this.
Six times a winner in point-to-points and might have made it seven but for unseating at 17 but for unseating at Larkhill when in with every chance last time out. Ground conditions fine and looks one of the more likely ones.
Useful in his prime and plugged on to finish a distant third at Newbury latest, so has some plus points but you've got to go back to 2014 to find the last time he won one, which has to be a concern.
Moderate under Rules and not even the talents of Olly Murphy could squeak a win out of him last summer. Tailed off latest and little chance here.
Likes to lead and has twice made all in point-to-points this spring, and although the form isn't as strong as one or two others, she won't mind however bad the ground gets. Not totally discounted but may need a touch more.

Palmaria (5/2), Uncle Jimmy (5/2), Thereyarsee (9/2), Creative Inerta (5/1), Herbert Park (15/2), Bohemian Rhapsody (8/1), Varene De Vauzelle (20/1), Brandy And Red (25/1), Strong Conviction (50/1)
In a moderate finale, HERBERT PARK looks the one to be with after an easy win in an arguably better race than this at Great Trethew last time out. He handles soft ground and ought to be good enough here. Thereyarsee might have been an unlucky loser last time out and if jumping cleanly here, should be capable of getting involved. Uncle Jimmy doesn't win many these days but has an opportunity to go close here and can fight out the bronze medal with Palmaria.
