Age: 12| Weight: 12-1| J: Elliott England⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 126| CD

16/1

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.

Form: 2/P4175-

Sir Galahad^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 125

10/11

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.

Form: 114260-

Miss Maverick²⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: James Davies| T: G Hanmer| OR: 118| CD

4/1

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.

Form: 5/11325-

Liverpool Knight¹⁹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117| C

8/1

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.

Form: 5/4426F-

Bluegrass^p,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 117

13/2

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.

Form: 383448-

Top Coeur³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 114

66/1

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.

Form: 3/4365-

Torrent^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 111| C

17/2

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.

Form: 2837P6-

Corsican Caper²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: K Frost| OR: 97

25/1

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

Sir Galahad (10/11), Miss Maverick (4/1), Bluegrass (13/2), Crebilly (13/2), Liverpool Knight (8/1), Torrent (17/2), El Galactico (10/1), Whatsupwithyou (16/1), Corsican Caper (25/1), Last Kingdom (25/1), Top Coeur (66/1)

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.
