Most of these find winning extremely difficult. GREY OWL (nap) has only won the once but he is consistent and has a lot going for him if ready to rock after his break. Thunder Sparks has finished second in a handicap and is the one open to most improvement. Breccia is hot and cold but can't be ruled out.[Alistair Jones]

Very up and down under both codes but won a selling hurdle in April and gained a second AW success at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day (2m); would certainly have a squeak if running one of her better races.
Placed three times over 1m2f/1m3f last year for Ollie Sangster; failed to convince in two runs beyond 1m3f and has offered little over hurdles (twice) since moving yards.
Admirably consistent in 1m2f-1m6f handicaps last year and heavy ground was no good to him on his final two appearances; handicapped to be very competitive if returning in good order.
0-8 and pretty much tailed off in her last two races at about 1m6f on the AW; however, she was second of ten in 1m5f good-ground handicap at Lingfield before those disappointments and cheekpieces (fitted for all those runs) are now off; one of the more interesting contenders given the yard she's from.
Winning for a third time on turf when taking a 1m4f Brighton handicap in October off only 1lb lower; the odd decent run in the meantime but his stamina beyond 1m4f is not proven; others might see it out better.
0-14 but back to form when going down narrowly over 1m6f at Bath (good to firm) and the front two came clear; that's now four times he's finished second and his turn should come.
2m winner on fast turf last summer, her sole success in 18 appearances; competitive on occasions on the AW since then but not last time when tried in the visor that is retained.
