Renoir
1m4f Tapeta winner who's improved as he's gained experienced over hurdles, culminating in a win off 5lb lower at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago; that was a weak race but he's respected all the same.

Indemnity
Decent Flat handicapper (1m-1m2f) who was picked up for 80,000gns; strong traveller who found Huntingdon ideal when winning off 7lb lower, before going in again at Warwick yesterday; obvious claims if turned out again quickly.

Katana
Didn't look to see out 2m4f on soft ground last time and starts handicap life at a sensible level for his powerful yard; he'll need to brush up his hurdling if he's to progress though.

Ascension Day
Went close over C&D (good) off a 3lb higher mark last June; a leap of faith is required though, back from four months off in first-time headgear, having not taken to fences in two tries around the turn of the year.

Blackijo Dagrostis
Maiden pointer who ran as well as he was entitled to at a big price in a Chepstow novice last time (raced freely and made most of the running); this is more realistic now handicapping.

Land Girl's Luck
Small-field Sedgefield maiden win against her own sex a month ago amounted to little and she found it beyond her off a 3lb higher mark on her handicap debut next time; needs to improve for the cheekpieces coming off.

Estate Planning
Hasn't always looked the easiest, refusing to jump away on one occasion, but he's proved competitive since handicapping on good ground; this mark should be within range if he's more amenable.

Dirty Den
Just a bumper win to his name and has been expensive to follow over hurdles; another headgear switch tonight, going back to the hood, and others look stronger.

Scintillante
Decent on the Flat as a 3yo but not as good over hurdles and has had plenty of chances now; went close over C&D (good) in maiden company last autumn but has been nowhere near that level since.

Saddlers Dream
Tailed off in two bumpers and three runs over hurdles, starting big prices every time; is 16lb out of the weights for tonight's handicap debut.
