Sunday Soldier
Completed a five-timer over hurdles (2m-2m4f) between the end of 2023 and last April and has continued to run well since; likely to try her best again, but is still 7lb above her last winning mark and may not want the ground to dry out any further.

Pretending
Disappointed at Southwell (2m, soft) on New Year's Day, but the return to this trip is in her favour and drying ground not a problem; respected from just 2lb above her last winning mark.

Greyval
Had no problem with the longer trip when third of 12 at Wincanton (2m5f, good) last time, but now 0-7 in handicaps and she will need to hit the ground running in order to take this after ten weeks off.

Star Walking
Irish point winner and bumper winner here (good) last April; had to battle hard to just get the better of Game Colours in a novice hurdle at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) last month, but still open to plenty more progress now handicapping; Brian Hughes 3-5 for the yard.

Game Colours
In the frame in both completed points and improving over hurdles, only going down by a head to Star Walking at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) last month; 1lb better off on handicap debut and there shouldn't be much between the pair again.

Lindy Reilly
Disappointed in her next three starts after a promising hurdles debut but, having been off for 284 days, she got off the mark in a maiden here (2m, good to soft) last month despite racing too freely and not jumping fluently; still unexposed, but will need to settle better back up in trip.

Laravie
Runner-up in a bumper and a hurdle at Wexford (2m4f, yielding to soft) last year, but made a low-key stable debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft) eight days ago; will need to improve for the return to this trip and the fitting of cheekpieces; yard triple-handed.

Linda Moon
Bumper winner who is 0-8 over hurdles, albeit in the frame six times; better than her finishing position would suggest at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last month, but she still needs to find more to get her head in front; tongue-tie returns.

Mermaids Cave
Won four of her first seven starts for this yard over hurdles last year, the latest at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; may have found the ground too testing when pulled up at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) last month and could bounce back.

Addosh
Three-time winner over hurdles who has been running creditably on the AW lately, including a win at Wolverhampton in October; has been rated much higher over hurdles in the past, but looks vulnerable to an improver in this field.
