Greatness Awaits
Won consecutive 2m handicaps from the front in refitted blinkers in February/March (soft/good) and quickly rebounded from a lesser effort when second in Stratford seller (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; in the mix.

Ikigai Star
Absent since fourth-flight fall in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in December but won twice over 2m on good ground last year and could plausibly have further improvement to come over today's longer trip.

Zucayan
Placed three consecutive times since returning from a break in February, most recently when second of 14 at Taunton (2m, good) last month; today's longer trip will also suit; obvious contender.

Sambezi
Without a win since 2023 and no longer the force of old but made a big forward move from a long way off the pace when third at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month and is another 1lb lower here; interesting.

Aquitaine Boy
Just held on at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January and was placed over that trip on last two outings; needs to prove himself on this right-handed track but will be fine on the forecast good ground; considered.

Robber's Bridge
Won twice for Simon Earle in early part of this season (1m7f/2m4f) and is very versatile regarding ground but he disappointed when last in action and this stable debut comes after a six-month absence.

Gms Prince
0-15 over hurdles but was third here twice at start of this year (2m/2m4f) and had every chance before last-flight fall over C&D (good) last month; recent 2lb nudge doesn't help but he ought to run well again.

Red Trail
Ex-Irish mare with 0-11 strike-rate over hurdles; well beaten on all three starts for new stable this year (2m-2m4f) and needs recent wind op to have made a massive difference.

Livano Bello
Placed in slow-ground claiming hurdle on debut in France in September but has shown only minor promise on his three starts for Micky Hammond (2m-2m1f); fitted with tongue-tie for handicap debut; needs to up his game.

Takes Time
Showed some ability on the Flat for David Loughnane but has cut little ice in three juvenile/maiden hurdles for current stable and is 7lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; significant improvement required.

Macho Sun
Has a basement mark on the Flat nowadays and did not show any significant promise on his first three hurdling starts (1m7f-2m1f); makes handicap hurdle debut from 11lb out of the weights.
