Ileny Royale
Off the mark when winning on his second chase start at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in November; came from off the pace for that comfortable win but he flopped at Exeter (pulled up) the following month and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort.

Chosen Hero
Point, bumper and hurdle winner but she has struggled with the switch to chases on last three starts, the latest at Lingfield on Friday.

Diamond Mix
Beaten 27l or more in two bumpers and three runs over hurdles (2m1f/2m3f); still lightly raced and now makes his handicap debut but he needs a transformation on this switch to fences.

So Many Roads
1-10 over hurdles and was hard to predict in that sphere, but he returned after wind surgery with a good third in 18-runner handicap at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; on same mark here and has possibilities if he takes to this new discipline.

Empty Nest
Record of 1-10 over fences but his win was by 14l over C&D (tongue-tie added) on Boxing Day and he backed that up with a close call at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last month; up another 2lb but he's been as good as ever recently and is open to more progress; big player.

Tenbobeachway
Half-brother to a point winner and he showed ability in his three hurdle runs at up to 2m4f; his last run was two years ago but he's still very lightly raced and needs checking in market on his handicap/chase debut.

Hawkseye View
Did well to finish a close second at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in November after making some mistakes, but he was tailed off behind Empty Nest over C&D on Boxing Day; that took his rules record to 0-11 and others are more convincing.

6/1 |
Nedzor
0-5 over hurdles but he was runner-up on handicap debut at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December and ran to a similar level when third at Southwell (2m, soft) last month; needs to find something extra on this switch to fences but he's still unexposed and has shaped as though this new trip could suit.

Jumper Madrik
Very lightly raced 6yo; didn't show much in three 2m hurdle runs, but he found stacks of improvement when scoring on his handicap/chase debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December; up 8lb but he rallied well for that comfortable success and is open to more progress; strongly respected.

Time Was
0-6 over hurdles but she's run respectably in her last three handicaps, most recently when fourth of 16 at Hexham (2m7f, soft) in December; this is a big drop back in trip but she's a point winner who has possibilities if she can find something extra on chase debut.

Thatsy
Veteran who returned from a long absence with a well-held sixth of eight over C&D (50-1) in December; that took his chase record to 0-20 and others are preferred.
