9/2 |
Akimos
Both runs (2m/2m4f) on good to soft and weak in the betting; beaten about 20l at Newbury and then pulled up at Uttoxeter; plenty to prove now.

- James Bowen / W Greatrex

6/5 |
Buckna
Irish 3m point winner who has hit the frame in all four hurdles and wasn't beaten far behind a progressive winner last time at Southwell (2m, good to soft); has good form claims in today's company and this should be more his trip.

- Tristan Durrell / D Skelton

10/3 |
Deep Purple
3m point winner and won a bumper on good ground; made a positive start over hurdles when third at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in a race that's worked out well; absent since early November but solid prospects otherwise.

6/5 |
Devon Dude
Has every chance on the strength of his neck second at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) but he never looked convincing when turned over at odds of 1-5 in a three-runner maiden at Exeter (2m, good); difficult to know how he'll perform here but couldn't rule out.

Guchen
Runner-up over 2m3f at Hereford and appeared to find 2m on the sharp side when third at Huntingdon (good to soft); open to further improvement.

- It's A Breeze
- H Cobden / P F Nicholls

7/1 |
It's A Breeze
Hooded for both his hurdle races at about 2m; his Wincanton third was fairly remote and then finished just behind Mask Of Zorro at Exeter; wouldn't be the obvious answer to this on what he's shown so far.

- Katana
- J J Slevin / N J Henderson

|
11/1 |
Katana
Represents top connections but beaten 29l (2m3f) and 21l (2m, good) in two runs over hurdles and needs to find something from somewhere.

- Mask Of Zorro
- Jack Tudor / J Tizzard

12/1 |
Mask Of Zorro
Comfortably held in three bumpers and again on his hurdling introduction at Exeter (2m, good); should be seen to better effect over this far but perhaps one for handicaps.

Quinn's Reward
No closer than 16l in four starts divided between bumpers and hurdles; others have achieved a lot more.
