Four-time hurdles winner but not since September 2018. Ran well on first outing for 136 days when second at Stratford recently and should be competitive here off 2lb lower.
1m4f AW maiden winner for Jim Bolger in 2018, but apart from finishing third here on third run over hurdles in August last year has been generally disappointing under both codes. 4lb lower than last handicap hurdles run in October 2019.
Won Chelmsford 1m6f handicap on the Flat last month and was creditable second over 2m in Southwell h'cap hurdle last week. Should be thereabouts for a yard ticking along nicely at present.
Four-time Flat winner but no joy since 2015 in that sphere. Yet to place in five starts over hurdles was was well beaten in a Fakenham seller in February. Fair fourth back on Flat last week but has a lot to prove here.
14-race maiden who has yet to even reach a place in six starts so far over hurdles. Refused to settle and finished well beaten at Taunton in November on last outing and is hard to fancy despite 5lb lower mark.
6-44 on Flat but just 1-22 over hurdles although that win came here over 2m2f in September 2018 off 2lb lower mark. Has run creditably after a break so 288-day absence isn't a negative and is worth checking for any market support.
Only place in 26 efforts under both codes came when third in a Bangor-on-Dee maiden hurdle in May 2018. Showed little for current yard in two starts last winter and faces a stiff task.
Stayed on wel last October to win Exeter 2m1f h'cap hurdle on decent ground then struggled when last seen on soft going last November. Career record of 1-32 tells its own story but will appreciate conditions and is not without hope.
Handicap debut for lightly raced mare who has pulled up in three of her four runs so far over hurdles. Appears to have a mountain to climb despite lowly mark.

Solstalla (15/8), Lilypad (9/4), Sellingallthetime (9/2), Dawn Trouper (11/1), Rocket Ronnie (12/1), Indian Harbour (12/1), Chance It (16/1), Dawn's Little Lady (20/1), Black Noah (28/1), D'waterside (50/1)
SOLSTALLA is taken to give weight and a beating to her nine rivals having run well when second recently at Stratford off 2lb higher. Lilypad looks the main danger after her solid second at Southwell last week and will make a race of it. Few of the remainder make real appeal but both Chance It and Rocket Ronnie have place prospects if chosing to put their respective best foot forward.
