4/1 |
Fingal's Hill
Made all to score by 6l at Newcastle (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is now 6-20 over hurdles; also suited by this C&D and probably still on a workable mark after recent 5lb rise; likely contender.

7/2 |
Imperial Data
Returned from layoff with two quiet runs this year but got back in the groove with creditable second of 16 behind Starlyte in competitive series final over C&D (good to soft) last month; also suited by good ground; must be considered.

- Emma Smith-Chaston / Micky Hammond

Foster'sisland
Good servant to connections over the years (six hurdle wins); on the downgrade now, though, and was just a respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at regular haunt Wetherby (2m5f, good) last month.

Starlyte
Resurgent mare who arguably posted career-best performance when coming from off the pace in competitive series final over C&D (good to soft) last month, beating Imperial Data by over 4l; 7lb higher today but the faster ground will also suit; ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Magic Wave
Low-mileage 9yo with 1-7 strike-rate over hurdles; returned from layoff with very encouraging sixth of 17 at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February but month's run there (2m5f, good) was very disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

9/2 |
Sauce Of Life
Dual bumper winner; very lightly raced since launching hurdling career with two promising runs in autumn 2021 but rallied well for narrow win in five-runner Doncaster handicap (2m3f, good to soft) in December and may still have a bigger run him.
