From Burton With Love Handicap Hurdle

Veteran who landed Bangor handicap (19.6f) on return and got back on track when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, good) 28 days ago. 2 lb lower now and warrants respect. Cheekpieces on first time

Useful hurdler who scored at the first attempt over fences at Stratford (21f) in July. Didn't progress in 2 subsequent outings in that sphere but he performed with credit back hurdling when third at Aintree in October. Off since. Cheekpieces back on.

Won 5 on the spin last year but switch to chasing seemed to curb his enthusiasm and he was disappointing when last seen in this sphere in October.

Ex-pointer who made up into useful novice hurdler during 2019/2020 campaign. Big step up from his reappearance when winning at Plumpton in November but below that level since and plenty to prove now.

Losing run dates back to 2019 but nearly snappped that sequence when a narrow second at Fontwell last month and backed that up when runner-up at Cheltenham (20.3f) since. Likely to make presence felt again.

Course winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle (9/4) at Haydock (18.9f, good to firm) 38 days ago. 6 lb higher now (2 lb out of the handicap) but can't be ruled out.
