Atreides
Usually held up; runner-up in two of his five starts this season, latterly at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start, but that takes his score under rules to 0-14 (all over hurdles); ran respectably on latest outing; moves up markedly in trip in bid to break the deadlock.

Entity Of Substanz
Stamina in pedigree and stepping up to an extended 2m7f triggered improvement when second of eight at Market Rasen (good to soft) seven weeks ago, with cheekpieces added; up 3lb but could have more to offer as a stayer.

Alltalknoaction
Placed in two points and beaten 26l when taking minor honours over 2m4f in his last two hurdle races; it's easy to envisage him being suited by this greater test of stamina and raising his game on handicap debut.

0-8 under rules; off for 540 days before two modest chase efforts this term, last time with cheekpieces back on; while he showed ability up to 2m6f over hurdles in 2023, some caution is advised at present.

Glory Hights
Opened his account over 3m1f at Carlisle (good to soft; acts on heavy) in November, after a break, and followed that with a good second over 2m4f at Newcastle (2m4f, good); should give his running but needs to find extra if he's to win again.

The Big Breac
No match for the winner at Hexham (2m7f, soft) on handicap debut but kept boxing on to regain second; went one better under Jack Power in another 16-runner race over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago, looking suited by every yard, so he's firmly in calculations despite 3lb rise.

Boolamore Classic
Did little in his first three handicaps (about 3m; one over fences) before a vastly better display to win seven-runner race at Ayr (2m5f, soft) 17 days ago; this visor replaced cheekpieces on that occasion and maybe that was key, but he has more to prove now back up in trip off 5lb higher.

Molly Mason
Beaten 71l, 45l and 54l in her three hurdles races, at triple-figure odds on last two occasions; moves up from 2m5f (her dam won at up to 3m) and wears first-time headgear for this handicap debut; worth a market check.

Getaway With You
Maiden after 18 races, 16 over hurdles; however, there have been four seconds from seven starts this term, one by a short head and he's shown he stays 3m, so there's a good chance he will be seriously involved.

Lady's Present
Nine-race maiden; plenty of minor honours but she was beaten 13l when second of seven at Fakenham (upped to 3m, good to soft) last time and needs to see it out better.

Close fourth at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in October but well held in his three starts since, taking his score to 0-10; 2lb out of the handicap.

Walk My Way
0-7 in points and 0-6 over hurdles; runner-up in handicap at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) on final run last season but pulled up on reappearance seven weeks ago (showed signs of post-race ataxia); 5lb out of the handicap.
