Soigneux Bell
French Flat winner who landed a 2m2f juvenile hurdle here on heavy ground last winter; travelled comfortably until two out on his Sandown handicap debut and reappearance three weeks ago and should come on for the run; wears first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination; it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Activist
Back to winning ways at Leicester (1m7f; soft) in November; only one creditable effort in his three outings since but capable off this mark if a change of headgear (first-time visor for blinkers) has a positive effect.

Kingston Bresil
Second in a British point bumper; first two races over hurdles were at Ascot and he showed more when 11l third of 12 at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) on latest outing; that's something he may build on now entering handicaps; interesting runner.

Our Dylan
Dependable sort who resumed winning ways at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December; another creditable effort when second of ten at Taunton (2m3f, soft) last month, with the reopposing Activist back in fifth; likely to be on the premises.

Copper Cove
Won over around 2m2f here (heavy) last February; below par in two runs this winter but fairly treated if staging a revival back at a venue which evidently suits.

What's One More
Bumper winner on good to soft last January; fair form over hurdles this winter, catching the eye a bit when fourth on 2m Huntingdon handicap debut (good to soft) four weeks ago; this mare has stamina in her pedigree and is unexposed now stepping up in trip; gets the vote.

Chasing has not gone to plan this season but better signs back hurdling when fourth of 12 at Chepstow (extended 19.5f, soft) last month, weakening only after a mistake two out; eased another 2lb since and the stable won this race last year; not discounted.

Tea And Chats
Eight-race maiden under rules who became rather disappointing last season and finished a remote fourth on his Wincanton reappearance 19 days ago; needs to have come on a lot.

Storming Nelson
Drew nicely clear to win 2m Exeter novice hurdle at start of 2024 but soundly beaten in all six subsequent handicaps, pulling up back at Exeter 13 days ago.

Low Expectations
Well held in three qualifying runs over hurdles but was placed in a Downpatrick bumper in the autumn and handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance.

Little Lady Lucy
Fair Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including fourth of six on Plumpton handicap debut (2m, soft) 24 days ago; too soon to rule out progress in this sphere but it's hard to make a compelling case for her from out of the handicap.
