Harrys Hope
Launched chasing career with three wins in October (2m3f-2m6f); absent since struggling in competitive mares' race in December but in much calmer waters and on a lower mark for this return to hurdling; respected.

I'm A Starman
Not firing on all cylinders last season but battled on well to exploit some help from the handicapper at Carlisle (3m1f, good) last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this C&D.

Boskill Borden
Ex-Irish 6yo; safely held on first two starts for David Rees but stayed on from the rear for respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month and, on that evidence, is worth a crack at this longer trip.

Galway Reel
0-8 over hurdles and not very reliable but looked suited by the return to 3m when keeping-on second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in December and will be suited by the quicker ground here; contender if ready to roll after five-month break.

Sporty Jim
Rediscovered some form and made the frame on consecutive appearances in the autumn (once over C&D) but began this year with two disappointing runs and has it all to prove again now.

Rubies Or Gold
Unable to justify good market support when only third of five at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March, after a break, but that was still a pretty good effort and he remains unexposed over stayings trip; major player in this lower-grade race.

Bradman
Fair Flat racer who started off in handicap hurdles with two respectable runs on good ground towards end of last season (2m4f/2m3f); needs to find something extra to prevail from 2lb out of the weights here, though, and is certainly not bred to benefit from this hike up in trip.
