Kap Vert
Too strong for subsequent winner Jurancon in a 2m soft-ground novice at Exeter but was seemingly anchored by his penalty back there on New Year's Day; solid each-way chance but could have his work cut out conceding 7lb to Diva Luna.

C'est Different
Has posted some ordinary RPRs in his three defeats and was beaten the thick end of 30 when fourth last time at Chepstow (2m, heavy); likely to remain vulnerable in races of this nature.

Castle Carrock
It was a weak bumper he won at Ayr (2m, good) in November for Nicky Richards but did so by 16l and only two days later fetched 100,000 at the sales; has to be of interest.

Diva Luna
Beat last weekend's impressive Lingfield winner Jubilee Alpha in the Grade 2 bumper for mares at Aintree last April (soft); surprisingly turned over on her hurdling debut (2m) but then made all in a Class 2 2m4f maiden at Cheltenham (soft; beating males); well regarded by Ben Pauling who has hailed her speed in post-race quotes, so this drop in trip is of no concern.

I'm Your Buckaroo
33-1 when pulled up in a Cheltenham maiden on New Year's Day won by Diva Luna; drops back from 2m4f here; hard to recommend.

King Of Highways
Showed more last time at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) when beaten 11l but that form is no great advertisement for his prospects here.

Noble Park
In a top yard but positives thin on the ground after his first three runs (good to soft), in a bumper here and two hurdles; handicaps will present more realistic opportunities.

Pearl's Pirate
Minor promise in his bumper and was then always in rear on hurdling debut (soft), again at Fontwell; opposable.

Rip Wheeler
Dead-heated in one of his British points (2m4f, soft) and was bought for 31,000; has made no impact in two maiden hurdles (2m/2m3f; soft) and looks one for further down the line.

Ballyhealy Diamond
1,000euros 3yo who was beaten in a distance in his two bumpers, latterly at 200-1.
