11/4
7/2, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, driven out. Going the right way and is unexposed as a stayer, so he's worth a chance to defy a small rise.

15/2
C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap hurdle here 22 days ago. Returns to the Flat on a lenient mark, so warrants consideration.

4/1
85/40, respectable 5½ lengths fifth of 9 to Khilwafy in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago. May well strip fitter for that and he's on an appealing mark, so one to note with Spencer booked.

25/1
22/1, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Potentially well treated in this sphere, but he's unproven at this sort of trip.

7/1
Temperamental sort. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 8 days ago. Vulnerable to better-handicapped rivals.

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (16f) 39 days ago. Dangerous if allowed his own way in front.

Pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good, 250/1) 13 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Returns to this sphere with plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Riggsby (2/1), Khilwafy (11/4), Vis A Vis (4/1), Socially Shady (7/1), Ravenscar (15/2), Wemyss Point (16/1), Russian Virtue (25/1), Snap Chap (150/1)

Verdict

KHILWAFY wasn't all out when scoring over C&D last month and he has the scope for further progress, so he is narrowly preferred to Vis A Vis and Ravenscar, who both look well treated if they can recapture the pick of their efforts on the Flat.
