Motazzen
Has a course record of 112, winning last year's renewal (middle leg of a three-timer) off a 13lb lower mark; scored on the Flat in August and ran up to his best back over hurdles when second here (2m1f, good) and at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) in October; had a rare off day when eighth of nine at Wetherby last month but must come into the equation back here.

Morning Mayhem
Had been well beaten on all previous completed starts over hurdles, including in two handicaps for current stable, but he relished heavy ground when winning with authority at Uttoxeter (2m) seven days ago; incurs a 7lb penalty but is due to go up 10lb; may need the ground to soften up even more in order to reproduce his best.

King Of Highways
0-7 under rules but made a pleasing start over fences on his handicap debut when third of four finishers at Lingfield (2m4f, good) last month; pulled up on his latest chase start and reverts to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces; yard going well and he's not out of this.

Bradman
0-6 over hurdles but made a pleasing return when fourth of 11 here (2m5f, good to soft; 80-1) last month with cheekpieces on for the first time over hurdles (retained); holds place claims if he can reproduce that run.

Goguenard
Three wins over hurdles but he was tailed off at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last month on return from a break; still 1lb higher than his last winning mark at Stratford in March 2024 and best watched for now.

Atlantic Power
Two solid efforts over 2m5f on good to soft here in the autumn, getting off the mark in October following six months off and following that with a third last month; stamina may have been stretched when last of seven at Wincanton (3m) 22 days ago and he is only 1lb higher than for his course win.
