Jeu D'opale
Off the mark when making all in a conditions chase in France in May 2022 (2m2f, good to soft), but not seen again until beaten a long way into last of five on stable debut in a Plumpton hurdle (2m5f, soft; 20-1) 16 days ago; may have needed it but still has enough to prove.

The Secret Pearl
In the frame in three of her four starts over hurdles including when fourth of 11 on handicap debut here (2m1f, soft) this month; still to prove she wants this far, though.

Rock Hurley
Better effort when third of eight over C&D (soft) in December (winner has gone in again since); well held in a stronger race since but still goes on the shortlist; blinkers given a go.

C'est Different
2-2 since handicapping, winning at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) nine days ago and making the most of being unpenalised at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) on Saturday; has to carry a 7lb penalty this time, but he's firmly on the up and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Twyford's Diamond
Caught the eye when second of ten on her return from seven months off in a first-time tongue-tie at Leicester (2m, heavy; first start since wind surgery) in December, but didn't back it up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) last month; needs to bounce back, though the stable's current form makes her hard to dismiss.

Force De Frap
Dual winner over fences last winter and is on a good mark based on those performances now returned to hurdles, but he was pulled up last time so needs to prove his wellbeing.

Tan Law
0-5 over hurdles but has shown some ability, as when beaten a fair way into fourth of 12 at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago; this trip may suit him better and he remains unexposed.

Richardson
Made it two wins in 25 starts when making a successful return from nine months off at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) 17 days ago; 5lb higher but he still has more to recommend him than most.
