Skin Full ran a big race in defeat when upped to 3m at Doncaster last month and probably still has potential but slight preference is for CA PLANE POUR MOI, who came from further off the pace to take third in that Doncaster race and is 4lb better off with Skin Full today. Weaver's Answer also has a significant role to play.[Chris Wilson]

Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again.
Veteran mare; yet to hit top gear this season and fell when last in action but will be suited by today's trip/track/ground and has slipped to a good mark; can't be ruled out.
Creditable second of 16 behind progressive rival at Warwick (2m3f, good to to soft) in January but last month's 2m5f run was disappointing and he's not bred for today's even longer trip; others are more persuasive.
Outran 100-1 odds when modest third in Wincanton novice (2m5f, heavy; first-time hood) in January but was well beaten on her latest outing and it's hard to know what to expect from her on this handicap debut.
Struggled when 40-1 for handicap debut here (2m3f, good to soft) in January; that was his first run after a long layoff and he remains unexposed but he needs to be a completely different proposition over this new trip.
Yet to add to his 2m4f Southwell maiden win in spring 2023 and his two handicap runs there (2m4f/3m) last month were underwhelming; competes off another career-low mark but needs to up his game.
0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye at Doncater (3m, good) last month, keeping on well from the rear to finish third (just behind Skin Full); big player if able to build on that recent effort.
Unexposed after only four hurdle runs but was soundly beaten when 50-1 for last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); moves up in trip with cheekpieces added.
Didn't fire on latest outing but began handicap hurdle career with encouraging thirds at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) and Fakenham (2m7f, good); 4lb lower now and Philip Armson claims 3lb today; could have a say.
Low-mileage 6yo; below form when when favourite for 1m7f handicap chase in December but evidently well suited by combination of hike up in trip and return to hurdling when close second at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered.
