The Nicky Henderson-trained mare CALL THE DANCE (nap) has won two of her four starts and could be on a good mark for this handicap debut. The similarly lightly raced Stay If U Want To also has potential off his opening mark, while the forecast good ground should be a positive for Quaresome and Oslo.[Ben Hutton]

Bumper winner who finished in the first three on his first four handicap starts before winning over C&D (good) in November last time out; this lightly raced 7yo can be in the mix if resuming where he left off.
Beaten 13l when second on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in February but this unexposed bumper (good) and maiden hurdle (good to soft) winner could appreciate today's return to better ground; on the shortlist.
Went very close at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last August and good to soft ground may not have been ideal when fifth at Kempton in November; he's had a recent spin on the Flat and could go well with good ground expected today.
4yo filly who is a French hurdle winner (2m, heavy); pulled up in the Boodles at Cheltenham on last month's British debut and 50-1 when unseating at first flight at Cheltenham last Thursday; things may click at some stage but others have far less to prove.
Bumper winner (good to soft) who got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in January; nicely bred and in top hands, and has the potential to be better than her opening mark.
Good-ground bumper winner who scored on his handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in November 2022; absent since but returns with stable in fine form and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.
Absent since fair second of four at Worcester (2m, good) last June on final run for Tom George (remains in same ownership); however, his new trainer's horses can go well fresh and he's feasibly treated; not discounted.
Fourth on both hurdle starts, most recently in a big field at Wetherby (2m, soft); improvement needed off his opening mark but this 5yo is unexposed and could have more to offer.
Bumper winner (good to soft) who has also shown promise when runner-up on his first two hurdle starts (1m7f/2m3f, soft); begins handicap life on a fair mark and pedigree suggests he'll have more left in the tank.
C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights and is one to watch in the betting on his second start back from a break; however, he's failed to shine this season and others arrive with more pressing claims.
