5/4

Ridden out to land his second handicap success of the season at Catterick at the end of last month. He's tactically versatile and has solid claims to follow up in similar company.

Point winner who showed his first form under Rules when fifth in Newbury novice (form has taken a few knocks) and can be forgiven latest run when badly hampered on handicap debut. Drops into a much weaker race this time.

15/2

First of two wins for Olly Murphy came over C&D in May (changed hands for £10,000) and though below form on reappearance/stable debut last month, less testing conditions should be in his favour.

11/8

Maiden produced his best effort to date when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, soft) in January and with the fifth winning subsequently, he needs considering over this slightly longer trip (which should suit).
