Issam
Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with a narrow win on last month's chase debut at Exeter (2m3f, soft); his jumping was an asset and there can be optimism he'll be okay now back down in trip; respected up 4lb.

Mount Tempest
Two wins last season and, with these cheekpieces back on, he scored over C&D in December (soft; same race he won last season); now on a career-high mark but could still be improving for top trainer; player.

Xcitations
10yo whose form has deteriorated and he was soundly beaten at Haydock (2m, soft) last month; however, he showed some spark there in December (2m, heavy) and his last two wins have come over this C&D (soft/good to soft); interesting contender off a reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces.

Hypotenus
Maiden hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell; encouraging third over C&D (soft) three weeks ago on his stable debut, when he made the running; it's possible he can build on that and he's one to consider.
