Looked rejuvenated when making all to score over 3m at Southwell latest start, always travelling well on the front and winning with plenty left. Gets a penalty for that and drops back in trip but repeat surely takes him close.
Some very useful form at best but a little disappointing last year, in truth, and became expensive to follow (twice beaten at short prices). Ability is there if he cares to use it, but not one to trust.
Has ability at a low level but hurdling technique often lets him down, and wins, in truth, are few and far between. Yard slow to get going and this mark looks a bit too high as well.
Wouldn't want the ground too soft but has some ability and her close second over this trip at Aintree last summer is a solid effort. Not easy to catch right but yard among the winners and she is worth a second look.
Runner-up all three starts for this yard last year, did little wrong in truth and nothing wrong with her attitude. Looks ready for a step up in trip, and if fit after absence, should take a hand in the finish.
Winner off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last summer, that coming off an absence so he can go well fresh; can race freely so needs to settle but addition of tongue-tie today may help, and yard flying at present.
Didn't really progress in novice hurdles last year although his Taunton effort in November was decent enough, second to an improving sort. May want ground to stay on good side, but in truth others look more progressive anyway.

Higgs (15/8), Sebastian Beach (11/5), Fresh New Dawn (5/1), Gavrocheka (9/1), Fubar (10/1), Wasdell Dundalk (10/1), Floral Bouquet (14/1), Vancouver (28/1)
Sebastian Beach ran them ragged at Southwell, never really looking in danger of defeat from the moment he kicked for home turning in, but he faces different conditions here and might be vulnerable. GAVROCHEKA didn't do a lot wrong last year and she'll appereciate a good pace up front, so with no worries about the ground, gets the vote. Wasdell Dundalk looked a slow burner last year and it'll be a surprise if we've not seen the best of him yet either.
