Whatsupwithyoub,t34
Age: 12|  Weight: 12-1| J: Elliott England(7)| T: B Pauling| OR:  126| CD
Winner in this grade at Ascot last December and while this veteran C&D winner arrives following 2 lesser efforts, he may make more impact back down in class.

Last Kingdom22
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Kimber| T: Faye Bramley| OR:  125
Emerging yard has had some success with recruits from the Willie Mullins stable, however, this 5-y-o hasn't made any impact in 4 starts.

Sir Galahadp22
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR:  125
Progressive 4-time winner over hurdles last summer but struggled in better company when well held on return in a premier handicap at Aintree (2½m). Should stay this far, though, and a bold bid is expected with sights lowered.

Crebillyp40
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Macey(5)| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  120| D
Has gone backwards from an encouraging reappearance at Aintree in November, faring no better for the addition of first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton last time. Mark continues to fall, though, and good-value claimer takes over.

Miss Maverick287
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-7| J: James Davies| T: G Hanmer| OR:  118| CD
Strong-travelling front runner has an excellent record here and having been dropped 2 lb for a creditable fifth of 11 at Cartmel last July, she cannot be discounted if ready to roll.

El Galacticoh1,p31
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  118| C
Winner of small-field novice hurdles at this track and Plumpton last year, but hopes are pinned on the addition of the first-time hood, following another tame finish at Southwell on his latest start.

Horse silk
Liverpool Knight190
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR:  117| C
Consistent sort has a good record at this course and was still in contention (being niggled) when falling at Cheltenham in October. Ought to be competitive if all is well.

Bluegrasst,p30
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR:  117
Hit and miss since winning on reappearance at Southwell in October, running one of his lesser races in a change of a headgear at Chepstow last time.

Top Coeur31
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR:  114
Fair form in a pair of maiden hurdles for Gavin Patrick Cromwell but a long way below that level on both starts for his new yard. Should at least benefit from the return to a handicap.

Horse silk
Torrentp30
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR:  111| C
Inconsistent this season but he's 1-1 at this track and took a step back in the right direction when finishing mid-field in a refitted visor (replaced by cheekpieces here) at Chepstow last time.

Horse silk
Corsican Caper23
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost| OR:  97
Modest stayer on the Flat who has shown an aptitude for hurdling in novices and while the switch to a longer trip/handicap may benefit, he doesn't look obviously well treated.

Forecasts

Liverpool Knight (7/2), Miss Maverick (5/1), Crebilly (13/2), Torrent (7/1), Sir Galahad (7/1), El Galactico (10/1), Top Coeur (10/1), Corsican Caper (12/1), Whatsupwithyou (12/1), Bluegrass (12/1), Last Kingdom (25/1)

Verdict

Returning to calmer waters, this looks a good opportunity for SIR GALAHAD to resume winning ways. C&D winner Whatsupwithyou could be worth another chance dropped in class, while Liverpool Knight should be in the mix if none the worse for his Cheltenham fall.
