Balhambar
Has been mainly consistent for this yard over the past year including wins on soft ground at Ludlow (2m) and Bangor (2m1f) last April, but he has something to prove after a modest effort at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) last month.

Golden Maverick
Three wins on soft ground during the past year, the latest a narrow success over a subsequent winner at Carlisle (2m1f) last month; up another 4lb and drying ground a potential question mark, though he won twice on fast ground on the Flat; blinkers given a go and he's respected for last year's winning stable.

Moon Chime
4-8 in bumpers/hurdles but has only been seen twice in more than a year, finishing third of seven after another break and first start since wind surgery at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month; still unexposed and last two performances suggest he will be suited by the return to a left-handed track.

Maasai Mara
Fairly useful on Flat (RPR 89) and looked a nice prospect for hurdles early last year, including an easy win at Catterick (2m, soft); not really convinced in two starts at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) since returning to this sphere in December (behind Klic Boum last time); may be best watched for now.

Schmilsson
Back off the same mark as when narrowly making a successful return from seven months off at Wetherby in October, but his efforts in the meantime raise doubts as to whether he can capitalise; hood in which he gained both hurdle wins is still missing; stable looks to hold stronger claims with Hara Kiri.

Hara Kiri
Has taken off since switched to handicaps and joining this yard (form 3111), defying a nine-month absence at Leicester (2m, heavy) in December (second, third and sixth have won since); up another 7lb and drying ground is an unknown, but it's hard to know how much he still has left to give.

Mister Wilson
Three-time Flat winner in Ireland, but 1-22 over jumps there and finished tailed off over hurdles on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in December; tongue-tie will need to make a big difference.

Klic Boum
0-8 under rules, but a better performance when third of ten at Hereford (2m4f, good to soft) last month; not sure the drop back in trip is a positive, though.
