8/1 |
Rip Wheeler
Unable to land a telling blow on recent handicap debut at Sandown (2m, soft) but kept on steadily from the rear to take fourth and may have a bigger run in him over today's longer trip.

Colonel Whizz
Absent since his keeping-on third in Huntingdon handicap (2m3f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) last March but probably still has potential; contender if fully tuned up.

Babatunde
Perhaps a shade disappointing when dropped back to 2m3f at Chepstow recently but travelled strongly for a long way before weakening into third here (3m, good to soft) on last month's handicap debut and remains of interest.

8/13 |
Grenadier Jed
Displayed big jolt of improvement on handicap debut 23 days ago, winning readily over C&D (soft); went up 8lb for that but could still have a lot more to offer; good chance.

22/1 |
D'gesteevo
Refused at third-last flight on hurdling debut in November and was a never-dangerous outsider on next two outings; moves up from 2m for this handicap debut; significant improvement required.

22/1 |
Raby Mere
Irish raider; nothing better than a respectable fifth of 16 on last month's handicap debut at Gowran Park (2m, soft to heavy; first-time cheekpieces) but remains unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting.

- Nobody Told Me
- Ben Jones / T Faulkner

40/1 |
Nobody Told Me
Fair on the Flat; still unexposed over hurdles but was pulled up in recent Chepstow handicap, after a layoff, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

18/1 |
Tribesmans Glory
Won over fences at Warwick (2m4f, good) last spring and went close in a chase here (2m2f, good to soft) in November; below form at Exeter this month but reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark; could have a say.

Missy Mole
Never looked dangerous when ridden very patiently at Lingfield last month and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts; considered only if lively in the betting.
|

- Chester Tonik
- G Sheehan / Alexandra Dunn

|
28/1 |
Chester Tonik
Fair on the Flat at his best but did not emerge from the rear division in his first three handicap hurdles (1m7f-2m3f) and needs to take a big step forward here.

- Break Heart Hill
- Ben Godfrey / Mrs F M Shaw

|
66/1 |
Break Heart Hill
Has a lowly mark for this handicap debut but showed nothing more than tiny glimmers of promise when a big-priced outsider for his three qualifying races (all 2m).

- Mr Zee
- H Cobden / M Blake

13/2 |
Mr Zee
Gave good account when fourth of 17 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) six weeks ago and has the services of Harry Cobden today but is 0-11 over hurdles now and others in the line-up have more potential.

Joker Jack
Well beaten in both handicaps, more recently when last of 12 in C&D race won by Grenadier Jed this month; needs the new tongue-tie to aid massive improvement.

- Alderley Charlie
- Rex Dingle / P Gundry

100/1 |
Alderley Charlie
Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 22l defeat suggests when seventh over C&D on recent handicap debut and is 4lb lower today but clearly needs to improve.
