Real Stone
Useful on his day but had very mixed campaign last season and was pulled up when back in action in December; others look safer.

Do Your Job
Signed off for Lucinda Russell with game C&D (soft) win on Boxing Day 2023 but has largely been disappointing for current stable; sliding down the weights but needs a revival.

Bashers Reflection
Four hurdle wins (one here); not entirely convincing over fences this season (three attempts) but his third at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago was a good effort; had wind op last month; a possible.

Glory And Honour
Not quite in peak form this season but managed a win at Newcastle (2m4f, good) two starts ago and wil be fine on the slower ground here; still on a workable mark; no surprise if he features.

No No Tango
Lightly raced for his age and produced career-best performance when making all on seasonal/stable debut at Wincanton (2m3f, soft) in December; fell mid-race at Haydock a fortnight ago but remains open to further progress for Harry Derham; must be considered.

Imaginary Dragon
2m6f hurdle winner last season; jumped slowly in early stages and was never a serious threat to the winner when second of four in Ayr chase (2m, soft) last month but today's longer trip ought to suit him better and he still has potential over fences.

Gallic Geordie
Long in the tooth now but was not that far off his career-best form when third of six at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) in December, after a layoff; 2lb lower here and has a fighting chance if aided by combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces.

Art Of Diplomacy
Bought out of a selling hurdle last spring and has made the frame on all three starts for new stable, the last twice over fences this winter (2m5f/2m); considered each-way.

Cornerstone Lad
High-class hurdler in his prime but it's now over three years since his latest win; ended last season with some very respectable efforts and resumes on a tempting mark but younger rivals appeal more all the same; swaps blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Hello Judge
Won three 2m4f chases last season and was close fourth of 11 on reappearance outing at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in October; below form at Ayr in November, though, and absent for another three months since.

Ladronne
Five-time chase winner, most recently off 10lb higher at Doncaster (3m, soft) last March; this C&D also suits but he looked out of sorts when last seen in the autumn and needs 74-day break to have done him good.

Nine Nine Nine
Gave good account when third at Haydock (2m4f, soft) last month but is effectively 6lb higher from further out of the weights here and appears to face a very tough task.
