16/1
Blue Bresil gelding; fourth foal from an unraced French dam; half-brother to the French 1m4f-1m5f winner The Pretty Countes; trainer Simon West saddled a winner at Musselburgh recently, but is a more modest 1-54 (2%) in bumpers.

6/1
Cost €78,000 as a 3yo; fourth foal; brother to the 2m3f-2m4f hurdle winner Hear No Evil; never better than midfield when finishing sixth to Aire Valley Lad on C&D debut (soft) in December; thought capable of better with that experience banked.

First foal from a French maiden (Martalina); started 18-1 when a well beaten eighth of 11 to Crypto (disappointing since) in this race 12 months ago; off since; others considered more likely.

6/1
Fair Mix gelding (cost £25,000 as a 3yo); brother to the point winner Barfly; made a most encouraging debut when a staying on fourth to Miss Lamb in a newcomers' bumper on Tapeta here 43 days ago; place possible.

12/1
Third foal from the point winner Dark Daisy; cost €5,000 as a 3yo; half-brother to the useful 2m3f-3m hurdler/chaser Classic Ben; the Hawick-based trainer Donald Whillans is 11-151 (7%) in bumpers.

7/4
Westerner gelding from the French mare Un Jour D Ete; cost €55,000 as a 3yo; 7-4f, but weak inside the final furlong when still a creditable fourth to Unohu on C&D debut (heavy) in November; highest on the shortlist.

That's Your Lottieh61
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-8| J: Callum Bewley| T: K Scott
100/1
Imperial Monarch mare from a versatile dam (Flat and hurdles scorer, 2m-2m5f); half-sister to the 2m hurdle winner Hag Stone; finished a tailed-off fifth of eight on debut (28-1) at Ayr (2m, soft) early in the New Year.

Forecasts

Wetlands (7/4), Drenagh (2/1), Get With It (6/1), Nyoufsea (6/1), Stolen Money (12/1), Fabuleux Du Clos (16/1), Muhtamar (28/1), That's Your Lottie (100/1)

Verdict

Drenagh is certainly notable as a first ever Newcastle runner for the Bridgnorth trainer Alastair Ralph while the locally-owned Nyoufsea made a most encouraging start to his racing career when finishing fourth on the Tapeta here 43 days ago. Furthermore, the chances are that Rose Dobbin's Get With It (cost €78,000 as a three-year-old) can show improvement from debut. However, the form standard is clearly set by the Trevor Hemmings-owned WETLANDS. He was strong in the market (7-4f) when a creditable fourth to Unohu in an arguably stronger heavy ground C&D bumper in November and appeals as another potential winner for title-chasing Brian Hughes.
