Hard As Nails
Won on handicap debut at Stratford (extended 2m2f, soft) in October then bounced back from lesser run at Sandown to finish second at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) last time; didn't see out 2m4f on heavy ground at Sandown but may have the necessary stamina for today's assignment; key player if so.

Rockola Vogue
Good-ground bumper winner who scored at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October on her second hurdle start before finishing an 8l second to a promising winner here (2m, good to soft); begins handicap life on a fair mark and she's open to further improvement now back up in trip.

Could Be Trouble
Inconsistent but she won at Hexham (2m4f, good) in October and was back on song when third at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in November last time; has won on soft; in the shake-up if on another going day.

Lady In The Park
Won C&D novice hurdle (soft) in December 2023 and fair efforts back in this sphere the last twice in 3m handicaps (both soft); has shaped as though she may benefit from this drop back in trip and is not ruled out.

Lexie's Moon
Well-beaten third at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November last time and she needs to prove her stamina, but perhaps the ground wasn't ideal and two starts ago she stayed on well to win at Stratford (2m, heavy) on her second handicap start; retains potential and is not written off.

Our Bill's Aunt
Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account.

Chosen Hero
Pulled up/tailed off this winter on her three chase starts but she reverts to hurdles off a mark 1lb lower than when a close third at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in October; has won on heavy; could be involved.

Wednesday Addams
Point winner who was placed in bumpers and returned to form when third in a Lingfield maiden (2m3f, heavy) a fortnight ago on her fourth hurdle start; now goes handicapping and her bumper form gives her the potential to be better than her opening mark; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Isabel De Clare
Lightly raced 5yo who is a half-sister to two winners and improvement is possible; has shown ability during her light career but a step forward is needed if she's to win off her opening mark.

Magnolia
Ex-French 6yo who didn't run badly when fifth at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month on her second British start but she's won just one of her 19 outings and others arrive with more compelling claims.
