West To The Bridge
Veteran who responded well to refitted cheekpieces when scoring at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February, his tenth hurdling success; both runs at Uttoxeter this month (2m4f/2m7f) were respectable and this longer trip should also suit but he'd appeal much more on slower ground.

Up For Parol
Largely consistent 9yo who makes a quick reappearance after finishing well to take close fourth from a long way off the pace at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) on Monday; may not be ideally suited by the faster ground here.

Lihyan
Has very good 6-24 strike-rate over hurdles, the latest win gained in four-runner race at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) 11 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 2lb nudge; probably won't be far away.

Imperial Merlin
Reverted to hurdling with win at Haydock (3m, good) in March and was not beaten far at last month's Scottish National meeting at Ayr (3m, good to soft); may not have much margin for error off current mark but still considered.

Bethpage
Returned from wind op with small-field 3m win in March and bettered that form when close second on both outings last month (2m4f/2m7f, also on good ground); major player if this new trip suits.

Jaytee
In excellent form when last in action in January 2024, making all to win readily by over 7l at Doncaster (3m, good), but returns from long absence on a 7lb higher mark and with usual headgear missing.
