Intimate
Ended last season with emphatic hurdle win here (2m, soft) and was creditable second on seasonal/chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in December; two lesser efforts have followed but it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage.

Good Friday Fairy
Back in prime form in first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last week, winning easily by 16l; subsequent 8lb rise might have been worse and he'll be a tough nut to crack if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Jaipaletemps
3-12 over fences when trained in France but made low-key British debut in a recent novice hurdle and is very tricky to weigh up at the moment; the betting market may provide some clues.

Gris Majeur
Dual course winner over hurdles; well beaten in his first two chases but fared considerably better when close second at Ffos Las (2m3f, heavy) this month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track.

Golden Whisky
Useful in his prime but has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from long layoff in the autumn (four runs); continues to slide down the weights but it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting.

Zestful Hope
Aided by addition of cheekpieces when placed three times (once over C&D) in November-January and has claims if judged on those exploits but he didn't fire at Southwell three weeks ago and is now 0-10 over fences.

Greenrock Abbey
Very well handicapped on some of his 2023 form and very well suited by this track but out of form this season and needs to turn a corner.
