Yellow Star
Returned from break with two respectable Flat runs in October but was tailed off when back over hurdles at Fontwell last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; refitted cheekpieces replace binkers.

Marlacoo
Below form when favourite for 18-runner Cheltenham handicap last month but was clear second at Chepstow (2m7f, good; also suited by soft) in October, after a break, and has strong claims here if back at that level; visor added today.

Confinentic
Unexposed 5yo with 2-3 strike-rate over hurdles, the latter win gained on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in February; has fitness to prove after ten-month break but is open to significant improvement this season.

Lord Of All Saints
Made good progress and won three in a row last season (2m3f-2m4f, good to soft/soft); signed off with poor run in March (scoped dirty after race) and made low-key reappearance last month but further improvement remains possible.

Kintail
Won here (2m3f, soft) on hurdle debut for Nicky Henderson in November 2023 but became inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing in April; starts off for Mel Rowley on a workable mark (same owner); market may guide.

Libre De Choeur
Unexposed 5yo who was placed in the C&D maiden on this card a year ago (good to soft); made nothing better than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when fifth of seven at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last month but might come on for the run.

Jackpot D'ainay
Lightly raced 6yo who won a 2m novice last winter; had to settle for third when warm favourite for last month's seasonal debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) but that was still a good effort (form is working out well) and he's open to improvement over this new trip.

Swinging London
Won on Flat in October and lost out only by a head on hurdle return at Leicester (1m7f, soft) last month; will probably be okay over today's longer trip and recent 4lb rise is mostly offset by Jack Andrews' useful 3lb claim here but he's not as good as he was and younger rivals appeal more.
