Ooh Betty
Can make the running and she's versatile trip-wise; record of 5-22 over hurdles and a close third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in April; on same mark here but she's been well held in last two runs, including at Ascot last month after another wind operation; bit to prove and she needs to be back near best.

Secret Trix
On dangerous mark but all five wins have been at longer trips (2m7f/3m) and he was well held back over hurdles at Market Rasen two weeks ago; now drops back in grade but he has work to do back at this trip; regular cheekpieces removed.

Anyharminasking
Strong traveller who cashed in on reduced mark over hurdles at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in April; mixed results in four runs since but he ran respectably in a match over fences (2m4f, good) last time and is now back on last winning mark; looks interesting on this return to hurdling and he should get a good pace to aim at.

Sixty Plus
Four front-running wins in a visor since joining James Owen but his winning streak came to an end when sixth of seven at Kempton (2m4f, good) last month; now drops back in grade but he's still 10lb higher than for last win and needs more improvement.

Just A Rose
Absent and had wind surgery since pulling up at the Cheltenham Festival where lack of experience counted against her; 2-2 otherwise (point/hurdle) and she may have more to offer back down in class on her return; needs a close look.

American Sniper
Defied this mark at Newbury (3m, good) last November but has a mixed record since and he's been well below form in both runs (2m4f) this season; has questions to answer and he needs to turn things around; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return.

Doctor Glide
Ex-Irish maiden who has been pulled up in his last two runs, including on stable debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) last month; that was after seven months off but this race is competitive and he needs a major revival; tongue-tie removed.

Celtic Art
4-18 over hurdles, with latest win at Warwick (2m, soft) in February; looks interesting on that form but he's been disappointing since, including in two runs this autumn; others preferred.

Melton Mossy
Refused to race at Ludlow last month but he resumed his progress with a comfortable win over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb but he's now 5-18 over hurdles and should get a decent tow into this race; key player.

High Fibre
Looks feasibly treated on his best hurdles form but he's been beaten around 11l in last two starts and latest was in a Class 3 at Windsor (2m, good to soft) 18 days ago; hurdle record is now 1-10 and he needs to find more back up in trip.

Call Me Legend
Good-ground bumper winner who has shown promise over hurdles but faded into fourth when upped to 2m4f on handicap debut at Chepstow (soft) last month; still unexposed in this sphere but needs improvement back on forecast quicker ground.

Him Malaya
His last win was 12 months ago but that was off 1lb higher in this race (good); well below form at Exeter on his penultimate run but he bounced back with a third behind Melton Mossy over C&D last time; that was eyecatching from off the pace and he's an interesting contender.
