Made a winning chase start at Exeter last season but it's been all downhill over fences since. Returned to form when third over hurdles at Ffos Las last time and needs to back it up now.

Landed a Warwick bumper and followed up with easy success on Uttoxeter hurdling debut in October. Excellent third of 6 in novice at Ayr (21.4f) 43 days ago so much respected on his handicap debut.

Bagged 2m maiden at Huntingdon in March and would have made a winning handicap debut but for falling at Ludlow on return. Turned out quickly when below form fourth at Catterick (19.3f) 37 days ago but sort to bounce back.

Useful performer at best but temperament appeared to get the better of him towards the end of last season and reappearance effort at Chepstow was hardly inspiring. C&D winner yet others appeal a lot more.

Likeable mare who enhanced an excellent record at Wincanton when scoring easily over 2m there on Boxing Day. Should go well again despite taking 11 lb hike in the weights.

50/1
Dual 2m winner over hurdles in autumn of 2020. Failed to complete both starts over fences the following year and missed all of 2022. In good hands so can't be ruled out after a wind op off a handy-looking mark.

French bumper scorer who made a winning British/hurdles debut at Taunton last February. Only third of 5 in novice (8/11) there when last seen 10 months ago but can't be discounted on handicap debut.

Winning pointer who was refitted with a tongue strap when much improved to land 11-runner handicap at Wetherby (19.7f, 10/1) under this rider 39 days ago. Up 7 lb but has more to offer. Player.

Forecasts

Santos Blue (7/2), Are U Wise To That (6/1), New Found Fame (6/1), Inca De Lafayette (7/1), Gladiateur Allen (8/1), The Height Of Fame (8/1), Haas Boy (11/1), Kepagge (12/1), Super Duper Sam (14/1), Kateson (16/1), No No Tonic (25/1), Martinhal (28/1), On The Wild Side (50/1), Your Band (66/1), Bluffmeifyoucan (100/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances. SANTOS BLUE was greatly improved refitted with a tongue strap when making a winning handicap debut at Wetherby and Dan Skelton's son of Blue Bresil can make light of a 7 lb rise with the headgear again sported. The handily weighted Haas Boy could emerge as the chief threat, although returning duo On The Wild Side and Inca de Lafayette need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
