Raffles Nobu
French hurdle winner (2m1f, very soft) who was runner-up in a claimer there (2m1f, good to soft) last August when last seen; this 5yo has joined a top yard for his British career and he could have a part to play.

Lass De La Blairie
Won a 3yo hurdle in France (2m1f, very soft) in December 2023 on his debut; first run since when last of six in warm introductory hurdle at Haydock 71 days ago (1m7f, soft; 33-1); could improve for that outing and this very lightly raced 5yo is not ruled out on his handicap debut.

Jackpot D'ainay
Showed promise on his first four starts (including on soft) then got off the mark when making all in a Market Rasen novice (2m, good to soft); on a line through the runner-up he's making his handicap debut off a fair mark, and this unexposed 6yo is open to improvement for his good yard.

Casa Loupi
Has struggled in the main, and been lightly raced, since winning two in a row in April 2021; there can be question marks against the form of his 7l win in a military riders' race over C&D (soft) three weeks ago, when back from an absence, but a 3lb rise isn't harsh and he's respected.

Soigneux Bell
French Flat winner who showed mixed form during last season's juvenile hurdle campaign, and makes his handicap debut after an absence; however, he did manage a win at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in December 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting (one of three for the yard).

Snapius
Won at Lingfield (2m, soft) in December then well beaten at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) next time; however, he was a close fourth on the AW last time and is not written off now back hurdling; blinkers are replaced by a visor (worn once previously, when well beaten on the Flat).

Rip Wheeler
2m4f British point winner (2m4f, soft) who has shown ability in some warm novice hurdles, including over C&D; makes handicap debut off a modest mark and this provides a far more realistic opportunity; one of three for the stable and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Graffiti
Returned from break with 6l second at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last August and fair third of six at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in November, when fading late; wears a first-time tongue-tie; each-way claims now back down in trip provided the slow ground isn't an issue.
