Is still looking for his first win after four starts under Rules. He was not far away on his latest run when he finished third of 10 at Newcastle (2m) on his handicap debut. Is back off the same mark. One to think about.
Has struggled for form since switching yards back in September. Was tailed off last time over this C&D when he was 10th of 12 after going off at 100/1. Has been dropped 8lb down the weights. Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Needs to improve.
Has gone close on his last two outings. He was second of 11 at Newcastle (2m) and then finished third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m). Remains off the same mark here. Leading contender to come out on top.
Has shown very few encouraging signs in his four starts to date. Finished fifth of nine runners on his latest attempt at Newcastle (2m) where he finished 31L off the winner as a 100/1 shot. Others appeal more.
Remains a maiden after 11 starts. Her last appearance came at Newcastle (2m) where she was seventh of 10. Is down a further 3lb which will help. Needs to produce more on this step up in trip so others are preferred.
Was a winner in a bumper but has been unable to score in 10 starts over obstacles so far. Returned to hurdles last time after two poor runs over fences to finish ninth of 10 at Newcastle (2m). Has been eased 5lb so is in with a chance off this mark.
Her sole victory came at Sedgefield over 2m4f. Was second of 12 runners at that same course over 2m1f. Needs to bounce back from her latest effort at Sedgefield (2m4f) when she was fifth of 10. More is needed.

BINGO D'OLIVATE has produced two positive runs recently. He is off the same mark as his third place finish at Uttoxeter last time and must be fancied to record success here. Ballydonagh Boy finished third on his handicap debut on his latest appearance and can build upon that here, while Emissaire is off a mark which gives her a much better chance of being in the mix.
