8/15
Consistent type that has a good attitude. Battle hardened from some excellent runs in handicaps and sets a pretty good standard for the others to aim at with the champion jockey back on board.

6/1
Picked up for £60,000 after winning a point in October. Sent off odds-on favourite for bumper debut here last month but was well held. Clearly thought better than that and could have a say now tackling hurdles.
Minor promise on bumper debut here in May last year. Sent off 100/1 for hurdles debut over C&D last month and was tailed off. Much more needed.
Well held on hurdles debut here over C&D last month. This trip/ground may well be on the sharp side at this stage. Plenty of improvement needed to be involved.

200/1
Tailed off on sole bumper start and similar story over C&D on hurdles debut last week where the hood and tongue-tie went on. Much improvement needed here.
Cost £135,000 last April but has been largely disappointing so far. Better effort at Hereford last time but still beaten 15+ lengths. Handicaps likely to suit after this.

100/1
Fair flat performer but has yet to translate that ability to hurdles having been well beaten on all three starts. Much more needed here to be involved but track should suit.

Horse silk
50/1
Hasn't shown a great deal in three starts over hurdles so far so hard to enthuse over chances here. Should be much more suited to handicaps further down the line.
9
Horse silk
66/1
Towcester bumper winner in October 2017 failed to kick on from that in similar contests. Tailed off when he fell at the last at Taunton last time. Likely to struggle once more.

10/1
Has looked a but tricky at times but there is no doubt that she is improving with experience. Best effort to date over C&D last time and would have place claims again if she can build on that now.

14/1
Slowly improving with each start and did ok when a remote third here over C&D last week. Could be more to come but most likely to be in handicaps after this.

16/1
Ran well enough here on hurdling debut over C&D two starts back. Not as good at Southwell last time and has plenty to find with the principles here.

Horse silk
80/1
Champs Elysees colt that has a fair pedigree. Stopped quickly after breaking a blood vessel at Huntingdon on debut and has been given plenty of time to recover. Market a good guide.

Dual Chepstow winner on the Flat (7f-1m, soft; stays 1m2f) for Eve Johnson Houghton (OR 79). Changed hands since last seen in October, and with a good yard. Market check advised.

Forecasts

Snapdragon Fire (8/15), Buck's Bin's (6/1), Locker Room Talk (7/1), Cooling (10/1), Statuario (12/1), Our Rockstar (14/1), Sally Can't Wait (16/1), Don Juan Du Gouet (40/1), Paddy A (50/1), Raving Bonkers (66/1), Biscay Bay (80/1), Ourmullion (100/1), Camlad Kingfisher (200/1), Lil Lazarus (200/1)

Verdict

Satuario was a fair performer on the flat and makes his hurdling debut for new connections today so a market check is very much required. Snapdragon Fire is very consistent and sets a decent standard to aim at here under Richard Johnson. We'll take a chance that BUCK'S BIN'S will up his game now tackling hurdles. Having been beaten here on bumper debut last month, this trip should suit better and is respected.
