Kayce Dutton
Won a 3m maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins; beaten 6l and 7l when twice runner-up in 2m/2m4f handicaps here in January; reportedly never travelling when a remote seventh at Southwell; returning here has to be a good thing.

Thunder N Lightnin
Close third on handicap debut over hurdles (3m, good to soft) and then no match for a runaway winner on his switch to fences at Wincanton (2m4f, soft); could do better again on this drier ground.

- Mourzouk
- Alan Johns / Tim Vaughan

Mourzouk
Should be well handicapped and ran better in this new headgear combination to finish a near 7l-third at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) where he got competitive with another rival some way out; considered.

Stardhem
Form figures of 231 since fitted with cheekpieces and got off the mark with a battling success on his chase debut over C&D three weeks ago; jumped well that day and he's just 2lb higher.

Cloudy Wednesday
Three-time chase winner who had Pittsburg behind when beating all bar an improver over C&D a month ago; thereabouts.

Kings Justice
Back to form with a near miss at Catterick (2m3f, soft) but then ran moderately at Hereford when well behind Mourzouk; clearly has a big run in him if back on his game.

- Gladiatus
- Tabitha Worsley / R Rowe

33/1 |
Gladiatus
Lightly raced maiden with long absences a feature in his career; 66-1 for recent stable debut at Kempton (2m5f handicap hurdle) and was pulled up; finished a remote fifth here on his only previous start over fences.

- Pittsburg
- Conor Ring / R Potter

Pittsburg
Competitive on the AW before returning to fences with a third over C&D, finishing behind Cloudy Wednesday; made a bad mid-race mistake when well beaten back here 20 days ago in the race won by Stardhem.

Casting Aspersions
Form figures of 2F2 in points; still early days under rules - and over fences - and the switch to Fergal O'Brien is quite interesting; was beaten only 15l in his latest chase.
