50/1

Useful hurdler but below that level starting out over fences when third of 4 at Fakenham in October. Flat bred and quickly back over timber.

Form: 466P3-3

Carys' Commodity^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 136| D

11/2

Didn't get home over 25f on return but firmly on the up since, supplementing his Fakenham win at Wincanton last month. Further 4 lb rise won't prevent bold hat-trick bid.

Form: 461-411

Glynn³²²

11/10

£85,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and made a sparkling Rules debut when successful over C&D in January. Off the track since and has undergone a wind op, but he could be well-in here.

Form: 1/1-

Ecco^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T R George| OR: 130| CD

25/1

Winning start over fences at Ascot in November 2019. Turned in a moody display final start last season and now back hurdling in headgear following a confidence-sapping display on return.

Form: 76/12P-P

Clarendon Street⁶⁷⁵

6/1

Second on hurdles debut in traditionally-strong event at Warwick (21f) in December and he duly landed the odds at Wetherby next time. Off since February (had a wind op) but he retains potential.

Form: 4215/

Group Stage⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 123

12/1

Winner of Ludlow juvenile hurdle last November and good second in Musselburgh listed event in February. Quiet start to this season, however.

Form: 1420-89

Eaton Hill^t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 117

15/2

Back on song after 10 months off when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) in October. Finished second at Ffos Las since, though didn't achieve a great deal in form terms.

Form: 65/75-42

Glynn (11/10), Carys' Commodity (11/2), Clarendon Street (6/1), Ecco (13/2), Eaton Hill (15/2), Group Stage (12/1), Doctor Dex (25/1), Canyon City (50/1)

Nicky Henderson arguably holds the key to this race with GLYNN and Clarendon Street. Both have been off since last winter and have undergone wind surgery, but such was the impression the former created when successful over this C&D, his opening mark could be lenient. Of the others, hat-trick seeking Carys' Commodity demands a place on the shortlist.
