Perked up by a change of headgear (first-time blinkers) when making a winning return to hurdles in Wetherby seller last week. Prominent showing likely if in similar form.

Revived when belying odds of 40/1 in 2m Lingfield handicap in December but has rather lost his way since. Latest 23 lengths second in Fontwell handicap no real step back in right direction and others are preferred again.

Little show in bumpers/over hurdles. This a drop in class but still hard to fancy. Visored first time.

Has shown a bit when fourth in handicap hurdles at Leicester and Huntingdon on her last 2 outings. Won't need to take much of a step forward to play a prominent role here.

9/4
Lightly-raced maiden who showed promise at the start of her hurdle career. Her efforts in handicap company the last twice have been a little disappointing but she drops in grade here and should make a bold bid if a first-time visor has the desired effect.

Modest maiden on the Flat, including well held in Wolverhampton handicap for new yard in January. Others are preferred now hurdling.

Forecasts

Symphorine (9/4), Fortune Cookie (11/4), First Class Return (16/5), Captain Jack (5/1), Happy Company (9/1), Dirk Gently (50/1), Defferella (150/1)

Verdict

If a visor works SYMPHORINE might be the answer to this seller as she holds good claims if recapturing the form she showed on her first 2 outings over hurdles. Last week's Wetherby scorer First Class Return may give her most to do.
