Reverts to hurdles, where he has a lower mark than he has over fences, and comes here off the back of a decent effort in a better grade chase at Uttoxeter, stayed on for fourth. Conditions ideal and although not getting any younger, has a chance.
Takes a big drop in class and is capable enough in this grade when on song, having won over C&D off the same mark a couple of seasons ago. Will strip fitter today and is likely to be prominent from the off.
Too free for her own good here last time when having first run for the yard (well behind Ardera Cross) and possible this bigger field will help her settle better, but after that effort is best watched tonight regardless.
First start for new yard, having left Ruth Jefferson, and looks fairly treated on a couple of pieces of his form, notably his ¾l second over fences at Newcastle on final start of last year. Watch market is the advice.
Better known as a chaser, and wasn't done with when falling five out here on latest start. Reverts to hurdles today, looks on a workable mark and as long as confidence not shaken by that fall, has conditions to suit and could run well.
Turned in his best effort for a while when only beaten a length at Southwell on latest start, and that despite being too keen early on. Nudged up a couple of pounds but conditions ideal again, and he looks one of the more solid options.
C&D winner from 4lb lower back in 2018 and only seen out a handful of times since then, but was a chase winner on latest start and has won after a break before, so has a bit going for his chances here. One for the shortlist.
Running with great credit at present and needed one more stride to force his head in front at Market Rasen two starts ago, and then ran just as well back there last time too. With ideal conditions again, no reason for him not to run his race.
Won a maiden hurdle here in May 2019 but hasn't really progressed from that, and this trip something of an unknown as well. Best watched on reappearance today unless market says otherwise.
Back on last winning mark, that coming at Bangor over this trip last August and he should be fit after a couple of outings on the Flat (not disgraced latest). Good jockey booking and one of the more interesting ones tonight.
Well backed to score over C&D last time out but found the one too good, possibly in front for a bit too long. Has conditions again but this is a bit tougher and he might need to step it up once more.
Took advantage of his lower chase mark to score over 3m at Musselburgh in January but returns from an absence here and likely to find things happening a bit quickly for him. Best watched.
Looked the winner here last time until challenge petered away late in the day, but should be cherry-ripe after a couple of runs this season and with champion jockey booked, another good effort looks on the cards.

Trongate (3/1), Fubar (10/3), Pammi (11/2), Ronava (7/1), Celtic Flames (16/1), Mister Manduro (16/1), Ardera Cross (16/1), Some Boy Mccoy (18/1), Millarville (20/1), Melody Of Scotland (20/1), Buckled (25/1), Dolly Dancer (25/1), Raecius Felix (25/1), Something Brewing (28/1)
Plenty of these can be given some sort of chance on bits and pieces of form. Down the foot of the handicap, Pammi looks sure to go well with the champion jockey booke,d but preference os for SOMETHING BREWING, back on a winning mark and ought to be fitter after two runs on the Flat, the latter of which hinted he might be coming back to form. Fubar and Some Boy McCoy both come here in good form and should run their races, and Millarville was still in with a chance when falling here last time. She's not out of a competitive event either.
