High Moon
Close up in back-to-back chases earlier this season but has dropped his guard the last twice and now tries more new headgear; certainly a contender if back on song.

- James Bowen / W Greatrex

15/2 |
Golden De Coeur
Dual point winner who is 0-14 under rules but he's consistent in the main and probably wants softer ground than he got when well held at Southwell last time; went close the time before on soft at Hereford; cheekpieces added.

Scene One
When sixth at Doncaster last time (3m, good to soft) he finished closer than when runner-up in his two previous races (2m4f/2m5f; including soft) so remains in fair form; entitled to have a say here.

Flash In The Park
The front two were clear when edging out last Sunday's Hereford winner Zestful Hope over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in November (soft) but can be unreliable and was beaten when falling next time; has since changed hands for only £1,000 but the booking of Sean Bowen is a sign of intent.

Cornerstone Lad
Without a win in three years and he's getting long in the tooth; was still running well last season but didn't offer much on this month's return over C&D.

Tom Creen
Winning for a fifth time at Sedgefield on Boxing Day (2m3f, good to soft) and jumping got a bit rushed when belatedly returning to 2m last time; this race looks a better fit, for all that he's never won away from Sedgefield; has won on soft.

Halpha Soleil
Dual hurdle winner who has ran okay over fences in his last three starts without being that threatening; needs to pull out more.

- D R Fox / Miss Lucinda V Russell

Heads Or Harps
Irish point winner who was initially disappointing under rules for Michael Scudamore but ran a lot better after his absence on chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft), rallying for a close fourth; entitled to build on that.

Konfusion
Third in a Market Rasen handicap hurdle last summer (2m7f, good) and held every chance on his chase debut next time when sprawling on the landing side of two out at Sedgefield (2m5f, good to soft); granted time to get over that unfortunate mishap and he's 2lb lower for this return to action.
