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.

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.
