Useful at best on Flat but has only managed fair form to this point over hurdles, probably needing the run on last month's comeback at Uttoxeter. Could probably do with his mark dropping a bit more.
Produced his best effort to date over hurdles when second at Bangor 21 days ago, the only one to get within touching distance of the all-the-way thriving winner. This looks a deeper contest now.
Fair jumper (dual winner over hurdles over 2m), unraced in this sphere since 2015/16. Should be sharper for recent Flat return and interesting to see any market move.
A winner over hurdles in Ireland. Has looked irresolute in 2 outings for new yard, turning it in, though Twiston-Davies replaces 7-lb conditional dropped in grade here.
Maiden who improved a bit making quick switch to handicaps at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) when last seen in February, though proved one paced when having every chance. More needed.
Successful in 3m Clonmel handicap hurdle in the mud when last seen in February. Drops markedly in trip on return but could have more to offer for new trainer.
Successful in similar event at Newton Abbot in summer 2018 off this mark and took a step back in the right direction starting out for this yard at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Player if building on that.
Fair maiden on the Flat who caught the eye on return/handicap debut in this sphere over C&D 4 weeks ago, not knocked about. Looks capable of better.
Successful twice in similar events last year but looked held off this mark when last seen in February.
Maiden hurdle winner for Olly Murphy last summer but offered little on completed start for that yard this term and has moved trainers. Tricky to fancy at present.
Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m). Stamina doubts around him in this sphere now he goes handicapping after 8 months off though there was some promise in his initial outing in November.
Has struggled to make an impact since making a winning debut on the Flat back in 2015, falling on return/chase debut at Market Rasen last month.
Modest maiden who showed a bit over hurdles again at Newton Abbot on last month's return, but has it all to do from way out of the weights here.

Roar (5/2), Chantecler (10/3), Lleyton (10/3), Right Destination (5/1), Memphis Bleek (13/2), Court In Matera (10/1), Billy Ray (12/1), Sarasota Star (14/1), More Music (18/1), Radjash (20/1), Justice Knight (20/1), Reverend Jacobs (25/1), Last Chance Paddy (50/1), Highland Bobby (66/1), Officer Drivel (66/1), Salazar (80/1)
Plenty of depth to this with RIGHT DESTINATION taken to open his account. He resumed with a fine run over C&D and clearly has a race like this in him. The many dangers include Chantecler, More Music and Court In Matera.
