Mud-loving and largely consistent handicap hurdler who has run well here in the past, though whose best efforts have been at Haydock. Up 1lb for another good run there last time, and should prove tough to beat.
Scored twice here as a novice last season, and also made the frame here in a Grade 2 contest. Comfortable winner on his return to action at Ayr (soft) in November. Below par at Newbury latest, but a big player from this mark if bouncing back.
Flat winner over 1m4½f. Scored here by 15L on hurdles debut in October (soft), but below par both over hurdles and on AW since then. That leaves him with plenty to prove on his handicap debut.
Maiden after seven starts, but is improving gradually and has been placed in four of those runs. Decent effort on handicap debut at Wetherby last time, Goes up in grade, but will need a fair bit more to be beating a couple of these opponents.
Forecasts
Elvis Mail (11/8), Chti Balko (13/5), Kaizer (4/1), Dublin Four (9/2)
A good contest in prospect. Chti Balko is the yardstick for the race and it would be no surprise to see him score, but marginal preference is for ELVIS MAIL. Nick Alexander's gelding retains potential, and he is forgiven his latest run in a hot Newbury contest, in giving him the vote back at a track where he is proven. Dublin Four can chase them home.

- Chti Balko
