8/1 |
Gata Ban
Missed the whole of 2023 but she showed the ability remained when winning at Hereford (2m6f, good to soft) in February; 5lb higher now but more of a concern is the return to a longer trip.

Dear Ralphy
Returns to hurdles after two ordinary efforts over fences; finished first and second in two starts over C&D (both on good; has won on soft) and although 5lb higher than for his success here last summer, he's still high on the list; stable also runs Ferret Jeeter.

Thirtyfour Thirty
Course winner (2m2f, heavy) but he stays this far, having only just been beaten over C&D and at Warwick (3m2f, good) this time last year; he hasn't been in much form lately, though.

Drumheller
Hasn't built on a promising bumper debut but he's still unexposed after six starts and could improve now stepping up in trip on handicap debut.

Westtara
1-15 in points and off the mark over hurdles when narrowly winning a five-runner event at Plumpton (3m1f, good; first two clear) this month; back up just 3lb but may be vulnerable to younger legs.

Vendant
Went close here (2m6f, soft) in January but reportedly bled from the nose when pulled up last month and he didn't get home over a similar trip to this at Plumpton in between; stable also runs Endersen.

Twp Stori
Won over C&D (heavy) just over a year ago and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain.

3/1 |
Trevor's Lad
Better efforts in finishing third at Southwell (2m4f/3m; good to soft) the last twice, though he will need to hurdle better than last time if he is to make an impression; cheekpieces given a go.

6/1 |
Ferret Jeeter
Showed some promise when second of six in a bumper here (good) in August 2022 but lightly raced since and has not finished within 48l of the winner in three goes over hurdles; needs the longer trip and switch to a handicap to make a big difference; market can guide.

- James Davies / R Rowe

Endersen
Hinted at ability in points/hurdles early in his career but nothing much over hurdles and fences since then; cheekpieces removed after one use; hard to recommend.

Tellairsue
Won a four-runner contest from 1lb higher over C&D two years ago and ran a subsequent winner to a length in another four-runner event at Ludlow (2m5f, good) this month; possible to pick holes in that form but he still has more going for him than many.

Glorious Mist
Put up one of her best performances when beaten a length into second of ten behind Dear Ralphy over C&D (good; 80-1) last summer; not very consistent, though, and has a nine-month absence to overcome.

1-38 under rules and pulled up in his last three starts over hurdles/fences; plenty to prove attempting this far for the first time.

Captain Howse
16.5f AW winner for Sir Mark Prescott but poor form since joining this yard, including in five starts over hurdles; 8lb wrong back from another year off and impossible to fancy.
