Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, best effort when fourth of 12 in 2m novice hurdle at Leicester 26 days ago. No forlorn hope with this return to a longer trip a plus.

11/2
Off 11 months and had wind op before posting best effort when third of 4 in novice hurdle at Ascot (21.6f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Merits consideration with hood retained.

Fair maiden hurdler but he came in only sixth of 8 in 23f handicap at Uttoxeter on his return last month. Needs to step forward.

33/1
Hinted at promise when third in Chepstow bumper and when sixth of 10 in novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f) on his hurdles bow 58 days ago. Should have more to offer, especially upped in trip.

Bumper winner here for Mel Rowley before never-dangerous seventh of 11 in novice at Warwick (19f) on his hurdles bow 66 days ago. Likely to improve now his stamina is drawn out more.

11/4
Fair hurdler who failed to stay upped to 3m when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow 76 days ago. Not discounted back in trip in his bid for a first victory.

8/1
10/1, promising second of 10 in novice at Catterick (19.3f, good) on his debut 27 days ago. Winner has gone in again, so he needs considering with more to come.

Forecasts

Jet Plane (11/5), Samtara (11/4), Go Sacre Go (11/2), Pulling Stumps (7/1), In Our Dreams (15/2), Wrong Shape Ball (8/1), Moot Court (33/1), Eppleton Collier (33/1), Boley Bay (40/1), Beep Beep (125/1), Meechlands Magic (200/1)

Verdict

JET PLANE holds the edge on form and is fancied to make amends for his last-flight fall at Warwick and open his account at the chief expense of Go Sacre Go who should ensure Dan Skelton's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way if backing up his good Ascot third. Wrong Shape Ball appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
