8/1 |
Speiriuil
Won at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) in November and looked unlucky not to follow up at Huntingdon (good to soft); her following Sandown run wasn't too bad and perhaps found heavy ground against her last time; could go well.

Yhprum's Law
May have been placed but for penultimate-flight fall on hurdling debut in October and again showed promise next time; final run was disappointing but that's not done his mark any harm and has to be of interest on handicap debut; all hurdles runs on soft ground.

Rock Hurley
Dual winning hurdler in France; questionable whether the new blinkers made all that much difference over C&D last month (heavy) as he was beaten 8l and only three completed; today's forecast drier ground could also be troublesome.

El Fabienne
Second in a 2m6f novice for mares at Uttoxeter (soft) in December but well beaten since then, latterly on handicap debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft); the tongue-tie she last wore in that Uttoxeter race now returns with cheekpieces added; still early days.

Brockarno
Popped up at 40-1 in a 2m3f handicap at Doncaster in January (good to soft) and his overall profile suggests soft ground might not be ideal, which would excuse him last time (after a 6lb rise); could have a role to play.

Regal And Royal
Unbeaten in handicaps and both were over C&D on good ground last summer; narrowly got the job done last time despite mistakes and a 4lb rise seems fair; has presumably been waiting for conditions to dry up.

Glenvango
Couldn't raise his modest profile when tailed off on handicap debut (2m3f, good to soft) and was weak in the betting.

5/4 |
Too Cool Forshrule
Hasn't achieved a lot over hurdles but he could put that right here after a much improved performance on last week's handicap/chase debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good), where he won comfortably by just over 7l; didn't go unbacked, either; same mark here.

Noplacetobe
Winning pointer; lost her way for former yard and never figured on debut for this one in a 2m3f handicap at Chepstow; others safer.

Rhodia
Has placed form but he's 0-16 under rules (12 defeats over hurdles) and latest run wasn't his best; now goes in cheekpieces.
