Saisissante
Promising juvenile hurdler last season and she reappeared with a fair third at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in November; well beaten at Windsor since but she's better than that and could bounce back with a good run.

Feet On The Ground
Good-ground point runner-up who has been a fair third in novice hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) the last twice; this lightly raced 7yo is in good hands to progress and is a possible player on handicap debut.

Bigz Belief
On a long losing run and more was amiss than the 2m4f trip when pulled up at Fakenham on New Year's Day; however, he went there on the back of two second placings (2m, soft/good to soft) and might not be far away if getting back on track.

Coco Brave
Soundly beaten this season in her two handicaps (2m4f, good/heavy) but she showed ability over 2m last term and this drop back in trip could be just what she needs.

John Betjeman
Inconsistent 9yo who is on a 23-race losing sequence and was soundly beaten over C&D (good to soft) last time; however, he was a fair fifth of 15 over C&D (good to soft) two starts ago and is not ruled out each-way.

Just Aidan
Encouraging third of 17 over C&D (good to soft) in January and got off the mark under rules at the tenth attempt at Lingfield (2m, heavy) last time; hit with 7lb rise but had 5l to spare last time and he's a key player.

Gorcombe Moonshine
Sole win (from 26 attempts) came over fences in December 2023; however, he's made the frame quite a few times this season (hurdles/fences) and is an each-way contender once more.

Janespriceless
Very lightly raced 9yo who goes handicapping off a basement mark but she's shown very little worthwhile form; claims aren't compelling.

Stage Show
Maiden who has been tailed off on all three starts this year (heavy-good to soft; stewards held inquiry into running and riding last time); however, he ran a couple of fair races off higher marks on good going in the autumn and could stage a revival if the ground dries out.

His mark has tumbled but he returned from a long absence in October and has struggled on his three starts since (Flat/hurdles).

Benville Bridge
Pulled up over fences in December in his first two handicaps and it was the same story back over hurdles here in January.
