Shuil Ceoil
Returned to hurdling with a win at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in January and he ran to a similar level when runner-up there (2m5f, good) last month; needs to find something extra to get back on the scoresheet but he rallied well last time and looks worth another try at this trip; shortlisted.

Bollin Neil
9yo who is not easy to predict but he bounced back with with a win at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) in February and was a good second over 2m4f at Hexham last month; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back up in trip.

Maggies Boy
Rallied to finish runner-up on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last month; in the process of running to similar level when hampered and hitting the rail (immediately eased) over 2m6f at Stratford subsequently; still has potential after only six runs and he's in the mix at this new trip.

Henrysbrotherjack
Won when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in December on third handicap start and bounced back from Market Rasen fifth to score at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) in February; up another 6lb but he was strong at the finish last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; key player.

Deadheat
Six wins split between hurdling and chasing but last success was in 2020 and this veteran was out of sorts in only two runs last year; has lots to prove back over hurdles after 304 days off.

Maillot Blanc
Well handicapped on best form but sole win was at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in January 2023 and he's been beaten beaten 14l or more in his last four runs; cheekpieces return but he needs to raise his game back up in trip.

Wee Alki
Lightly raced 6yo who went close on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in February but he didn't seem to get home over 3m1f at Carlisle (good; 7-4 favourite) two weeks ago; this is a less demanding test at this track but he needs to find more.

Topkapi Star
Returned to form with a 20-1 win at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but she was back in the doldrums with a tailed-off effort there (3m) last time; still looks on a workable mark but she needs to bounce back again after a short break.

Shantou Lucky
Won by 10l in first-time cheekpieces here (2m4f, good) in September but he's finished down the field in six subsequent runs; now back below last winning mark but he's never won over this far and others are more convincing.

Euchan Falls
Fair second over fences at Ayr (3m, soft) last month and he had tough task from well out of the weights at Carlisle last month; back on correct mark on this return to hurdling and both his wins have come in this sphere; possibilities.

Teddy Mac
Inconsistent 12-race maiden who has struggled at around 3m in his last two handicaps; 4lb out the weights here and he needs a major turnaround in new equipment.
