Topofthecotswolds
Useful over several seasons when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies; signed off for him with some below-par runs in the autumn and made low-key start for new stable this year but significant positives can be drawn from his run in refitted cheekpieces at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and he has possibilities here if combination of drop back in trip and first-time visor pays dividends.

Cracking Destiny
Useful in his prime but long in the tooth now and this season has been disappointing; travelled well to a point in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in December but didn't find much when the chips were down; no headgear today; needs four-month break to have done him good.

Instinct D'ainay
Showed nothing more than minor promise when beaten 30l+ in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m4f) during the winter and seems rather harshly treated for this handicap debut but, nevetheless, he's open to significant improvement if he takes well to fences.

Friary Rock
Four-time chaser winner; out of form when last in action last spring but resumes on a workable mark and with trip/ground suitable; market may guide.

Duty Calls
Ended last season with a course win (2m1f, soft) and will be fine over today's longer trip but has been badly out of form this term and seems best suited by soft ground.

Low Mileage
0-16 over fences; went close off much reduced mark at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February and has claims here if judged on that form but didn't fire at Hexham last month.

The Jad Factor
Stayed on well to win in today's headgear combination at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in January, his second run after a long layoff, but two very poor performances have followed and he has a lot to prove all of a sudden.

Pure Surf
Held on well to beat three rivals under Pippa Brown at Newcastle (2m4f, good) this month, her eighth start over fences, and ran at least as well when close second at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) six days later; evidently in very good nick; might be the answer.

Toombridge
Gave good account before weakening into fourth of 15 at Carlisle (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in February and was again running well before penultimate-fence fall at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month but his latest run was a backward step and he's 3lb wrong here.
