He's A Latchico has thus far saved his best for Fontwell over jumps and Dickens went up 7lb for winning a weaker race at Hexham. Public Enemy (second choice) could be interesting as an unexposed 4yo with a C&D maiden win to his name but SYNCHRONIST perhaps has the least to prove. Cusano would be of strong interest if backed.[Alistair Jones]

Multiple winner on Flat and over hurdles; won by a comfortable 3l at Warwick two runs back (2m, good) but rather typically ran below that level at Southwell latest; capable of running well off this mark but he's not one for maximum faith.
Four-time Flat winner and winning for a third time over hurdles when coming 5l clear at Fontwell (2m1f, good) on his second start after an absence; raised 7lb for that and, although particularly effective at Fontwell, he's unraced here.
1m5f winner on good ground in France; runner-up in his early hurdle races despite racing freely but he was weak in the betting when fitted with this headgear for handicap debut on Boxing Day and disappointed; connections respected but he returns with questions to answer.
Went up a harsh-looking 8lb for his rallying win at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but improved again to finish second at Sedgefield where Inferno Sacree was back in fifth; up another 2lb here but seems to be improving.
Beaten about 11l in his one handicap, after which he was close up in a Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft); might be on a high mark unless improving for a wind operation.
Came within a head of shedding her maiden status in a C&D handicap (soft) in February, caught only late on after making most; perhaps didn't take to Fakenham last time.
Showed ability in France; still very lightly raced; probably didn't have to improve on his Taunton third to make all in a C&D maiden (good) in which the favourite gave himself no chance; the handicapper doesn't appear to have taken any chances but he's an unexposed 4yo with the weight allowance.
9.4f AW winner; granted time after his fall at Uttoxeter in December and returned with a clearcut win at Hexham (2m, good to soft); handicapper hit back with a 7lb rise and this is a higher grade, but respected nonetheless.
1m4f winner in France; not beaten far in maiden and handicap company over hurdles at about 2m; had wind surgery since a backward step in a handicap last time (September) and the betting could be informative after a break.
