Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR:  95
Not without promise in 3 novice hurdles in 2023/24. Lengthy absence to defy on handicap debut, but one to note in the betting fitted with a first-time hood.

Lord De Vinci21
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR:  88
Maiden hurdler who hasn't set the world alight in handicap chases this season and has plenty to prove now back over the smaller obstacles.

No real impact in a handful of outings for this yard, including over fences. Easy to look elsewhere.

Different Drum24
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: L Allan| OR:  84
A modest winning stayer on the Flat who stepped up on his previous hurdling efforts when 14 lengths third of 14 to Carlton in novice handicap at Huntingdon last time. A repeat of that performance will see him go close here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Rabbitt(3)| T: S Corbett| OR:  83
Turned in best effort over hurdles when fourth on handicap bow over C&D in February, but took a backwards step in a similar event at Sedgefield last time. Might benefit from a longer trip.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-13| J: William Maggs(3)| T: R Bevis| OR:  82
Took a step forward when a 2-length fourth of 10 to Guet Apens in a novice hurdle here last month. Should have more to offer now switching to a handicap, with this step back up in trip likely to suit. One to be interested in.

Out On Her Own27
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-7| J: Ryan Mania| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR:  76
Point winner who left previous hurdles form behind when 3 lengths second of 9 to Queen Roslyn in a mares handicap here last time. Big player back up in trip if able to build on that effort.
