Graham
Dual 1m4f winner for Richard Hannon as a 3yo (good to firm and good) who was picked up for 40,000gns last summer; often made the running on the Flat and a return to more aggressive tactics could help back on a sounder surface now handicapping.

Jorebel
Made the frame in three Irish points but hasn't offered a lot in three runs over hurdles, all on soft going; whether today's forecast faster ground will work in his favour remains to be seen and would want to see some support now handicapping.

Westtara
Veteran who's 1-15 in points and 0-7 over hurdles having been pulled up at Lingfield recently (2m7f, soft); the emphasis will be much more on speed today and he's hard to recommend.

Lady Caro
Still to win after 14 starts but went close off this mark in December and has likely been waiting for some drying weather since below par on soft two months ago; one of the likelier winners in uncompetitive affair.

Character Testing
1m Tapeta winner on the Flat who's often pulled hard and been fitted with a hood the past twice (left off today); has had plenty of chances against his own age group and will need to improve on his latest handicap debut effort back from a break.

Early Morning Dew
Dual 1m2f winner last autumn who's potentially well handicapped on this first run over hurdles in more than three years, assuming he puts in a better round of jumping than was often the case in his younger days; interesting contender.
