River Tyne
10lb higher than when taking this race 12 months ago but won again here on Boxing Day off this mark; not the most consistent of mares but she's dangerous to discount given her liking for the track.

Sir Rock
Won back-to-back handicaps two winters ago, over 2m3f at Plumpton and 2m5f here; goes well on softer but the ground was good when not beaten far over 2m5f here last time; there are some stamina reservations over this far.

Ballintara
Had some luck on his side when beating today's 7.10 contender Dear Ralphy in a 3m1f handicap chase at Plumpton a month ago (good) for which he's been raised 5lb; this may take more winning.

Getupearly
Winning pointer; 18 defeats under rules equally divided between hurdles and fences; however, accepted the new cheekpieces when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time and that run offers hope.

Janeslittlevoice
Won two handicap chases during the second half of 2023, over 3m2f on heavy and 3m1f on good; second run back from a long absence was a big step forward on the first, finding only one too good at Newton Abbot; has a chance.

One Man Party
Maiden hurdler; beaten about 10l and 14l in his two chases, latterly a never-dangerous third at Huntingdon when behind Getupearly; opposable.

Dysania
3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict.

Elpologreg
Three places before stopping quickly and pulling up at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy; handles that ground) last time and his jumping wasn't the best; not overly appealing from 5lb out of the weights.
