L'empire Vert
Ex-French maiden; with new yard for last four starts and second of nine over C&D (good) last time was easily his closest finish; that was a positive step but he's back up 2lb and needs to better that form as well.

Rodney
Little to latch on to in his time with Shark Hanlon but debut for new yard ten weeks ago saw him off the mark in a ten-runner handicap at Taunton (2m3f, soft); back up 4lb but could have turned a corner.

Leech
Went handicapping on last three outings, with his well-beaten third here (2m4f, heavy) being far better than starts either side; flopped over C&D latest and last season's bumper-winning form has so far been out of reach.

Highbury Hill
Has run in one bumper and three juvenile hurdle races, best when second of seven at Wetherby (2m, soft) last time seven weeks ago; early days and she should have more to offering moving into handicaps.

Yorgunnabeplucky
Placed in an Irish point last spring; did not show a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles in the autumn and suffered another heavy defeat when trying cheekpieces (now removed) over 2m3f at Taunton (18-1) on handicap debut; 10lb claimer is enlisted.

Just Aidan
Tenth attempt when off the mark under rules by 5l at Lingfield (2m, heavy) in January and he followed that with a win at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) six weeks ago; up another 6lb, which seems a bit harsh, but he travelled best last time and the front two drew clear; one for the shortlist.

Cher Monsieur
Placed in two Irish maiden points but beaten at least 44l in his three starts over hurdles (2m-2m3f; at 50-1 to 200-1); no form claims but he's worth a second look in the market.

11/1 |
Good Impression
Six hurdle wins (one over C&D) in his time and he might have just needed last month's run after his winter break; has a workable mark and is one to consider.

Gavin
Last of his four wins was here in June 2023; third at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in September was the only significant echo of that form this term and he now returns from 161 days off; often a front-runner but always behind last time.

Triple Nickle
Flat race here (2m, heavy) last August was her first win for over three years; 1-19 as a hurdler and beaten 35l at this track (2m6f/2m4f) on last two outings, absent four months in between, but she was runner-up three times in a row as a hurdler last February/May; not totally dismissed.

Victor Haze
Lightly raced 8yo who has run in three handicaps, placed at Chepstow (2m/2m3f, good) on last two attempts; probably needs better but he could have more to offer.

Kylenoe Dancer
Low-level form after four bumpers and seven hurdle races for Paul Henderson; absent 679 days and market may guide on debut for new yard, with Harry Cobden booked.
