11/8
Won his only point-to-point start and showed plenty when runner-up at Aintree and Ascot. Pulled up in 12-runner maiden hurdle at Ascot (5/1) 48 days ago, returning with an overreach. Best forgiven that run and looks the one to beat here.

11/4
Lightly raced gelding who improved on his bumper form when fourth of 11 on hurdle debut at Warwick (28/1) 56 days ago, didn't settle fully but plugged on behind three next-time-out winners. That's solid form and he should be capable of better.

100/1
Showed no promise on hurdle debut last October and fared little better when eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newbury (200/1) 22 days ago, soon dropping away once the tempo increased. Plenty to prove this side of handicaps.

18/1
Won in points at the third attempt but found his hurdling debut too much to handle, pulled up in fairly useful novice hurdle at Windsor (28/1) 20 days ago after weakening from the eighth. Sights lowered but may need more time.

40/1
Soldier Of Fortune gelding. £1,000 4-y-o. Cheap purchase for a yard that has a fair record over hurdles. Likely to be an outsider on racecourse bow.

7/4
Fair in bumpers and showed promise on hurdling debut after near 2-year absence when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (17/2) 61 days ago, travelled fluently before no extra from 2 out. Should improve for capable yard.

Forecasts

Big Ticket (11/8), Matthias (7/4), Dropematthestation (11/4), Lifetime In Milan (18/1), Lil Fortune (40/1), Jacquetta (100/1)

Verdict

BIG TICKET won his point-to-point and made a bright start over hurdles when runner-up twice before pulling up at Ascot with an overreach. He looks the one to beat on previous form. Matthias showed promise on his hurdling debut after a near 2-year absence when third at Chepstow and should improve, while Dropematthestation's Warwick form has worked out well and there should be better to come.
