Ambassador
Out of the frame in his last six starts, but his record over C&D reads 22117141 and not only is he 4lb lower than when winning here last July, he's 1lb lower than when winning this race last year; fascinating contender.

Gregorians Star
Bumper winner in the autumn and ran his best race over hurdles when beaten just over a length into third of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good) last month; first two haven't done much for the form, but he should still go well.

Our Lil
0-8 on the Flat but took well to hurdling, winning at Doncaster (2m1f, good; first start since wind surgery) in March; 9lb out of the weights when well held in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month, but should fare better off her correct mark at this level.

Castle Quarter
Four-time winner on the AW and in the frame a few times over hurdles in 2022, but off 872 days before pulled up at Huntingdon (1m, good to soft) in February; will need the first-time hood to make a big difference.

The Last Drop
Tongue tied when runner-up in a Tramore bumper (soft) in November 2023, but hasn't built on it despite making the frame in both starts over hurdles for this yard; makes her handicap debut after almost a year off; watch market.

Dante's Inferno
Just beaten on his debut in a Ludlow bumper (good) for Georgina Nicholls in October 2023, but has regressed since including in four starts over hurdles for this yard; makes his handicap debut, but still best watched.

Went close a couple of times on good ground at Stratford (2m/2m3f) last summer, but is now 0-21 under rules; returns from five months off and has no great record fresh.

1-14 under rules, the win coming in a three-runner Sedgefield novice hurdle (2m4f, good to firm) for Donald McCain in September 2022; off 332 days before well beaten on stable debut there (2m1f, good) last month; look elsewhere.

Postponed Legacy
In the frame in three of his last four starts at around 2m over hurdles, but seems to be struggling to get the trip; another placing may be his best hope.
