Fia Fuinidh
Two good seconds over fences in October/November but has lost his form and was behind some of these here last time.

- Diamond Mix
- Ryan Mania / Paul Robson

6/1 |
Diamond Mix
Only his second run over fences when chasing home the favourite over 2m here last month (good to soft) and won't mind returning to further; should be thereabouts off the same mark.

Hawkseye View
Runner-up over C&D in November but made mistakes that day and it wasn't his first when unseating three out at Wetherby a month ago (disputing second but under pressure); would have a chance with a clear round.

9/2 |
Flash Du Pistolet
No wins in nine; wasn't beaten far two runs back at Catterick but jumping was untidy when 10l off Diamond Mix here 18 days ago; today's longer trip could be of benefit.

- Low Mileage
- Edward Austin / G Bewley

|
13/2 |
Low Mileage
0-15 over fences but nearly put that right off his reduced mark at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); something similar will see him on the scene.

- Tanking Along
- Henry Brooke / P Neville

16/1 |
Tanking Along
Didn't last long over hurdles and ran well for a long way before falling on last month's chase debut at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); he was on the retreat but he's a horse who may have more to offer.

- Ceolwulf
- Nathan Moscrop / Fionn Mcsharry

|
9/1 |
Ceolwulf
Placed in bumpers, over hurdles and in his last two chases, the latest on his return from an absence when beaten by a David Pipe improver; the new cheekpieces worked well there and just 2lb higher.
|
|
|
- Top Of The Bay
- Jonathan England / S England
|
|
|
10/1 |
Top Of The Bay
The cheekpieces tried last time are soon dispensed with and on his previous run over fences he finished a 12l third at Southwell (April; 2m4f, good); could be interesting on his first run for new yard.

- Cave Hill
- Alan Doyle / I A Duncan

|
|
11/4 |
Cave Hill
Won over hurdles here in December (2m4f, good) when 7lb lower and beaten about 10l in his subsequent defeats on softer ground; these conditions will suit on chase debut and enters the reckoning.

- Great Ballinboris
- C O'farrell / Micky Hammond

6/1 |
Great Ballinboris
Maiden who has had five goes over fences; the new blinkers did him no harm when a front-running third over this far at Doncaster (good) but may need more here.

- Toombridge
- William Maggs / I A Duncan

|
11/2 |
Toombridge
Inconsistent but ran well in the new cheekpieces when fourth at Carlisle (soft) where 3m appeared to stretch him; considered.
