Magna Victor
Doesn't look overly well treated for this handicap debut but hasn't run at all badly in his two novices and there could be improvement to come.

Maple
Uttoxeter winner in May but very quiet in two runs after a break and looks the stable second string.

Bathgate
Followed two near misses (one behind John Betjeman) with a pretty convincing win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) this month and he can cope with this 6lb higher mark.

Jaminoz
The last of six Flat wins was in September; 20-1 and well beaten on his return to hurdling over C&D last month; this is a lower grade.

Inca Prince
Good hurdler about four years ago and thrown in on all that form; second run after a long absence was better than the first and he's not one to give up on just yet.

John Betjeman
Exposed 9yo but it was his debut for this yard after 173 days off when repelling subsequent winner Bathgate at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft); raised 8lb for that win but higher in the past; could have turned a corner.

Spartan Warrior
Won off this mark at Kelso in May (2m2f, good) but well held under Flat/hurdle codes since and has left Rebecca Menzies for 3,400gns; wouldn't be the obvious answer to this.

Uninspiring Flat form before another heavy defeat here last month on return to jumping; opposable.

Gemini Man
2-34 overall and 1-11 as a hurdler; beaten about 7l when making the frame over C&D recently and that was in a Class 4 handicap; each-way claims.

Gonnino
Just the one blip this year and he ran well behind a heavily backed favourite over C&D two weeks ago; only 2lb higher and should feature.

Miss Bumblebee
Her thirds at Hexham were remote and she was pulled up there in early November; unconvincing claims on this handicap debut with a hood now tried.

National Question
All three wins (Flat/hurdles) have been on good ground so he ran quite well at Sedgefield last time given soft was probably not ideal for him; raised 3lb but gets in here off a low weight; considered.
