Got A Dream
2-2 since switched to handicaps this season, the latter win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in November; might still be on the upgrade and needs to be taken very seriously.

Cruden
Not seen over hurdles since going very close on handicap debut at Carlisle (3m1f, good) for James Ewart last April but made a pleasing stable debut on the Flat last month (cheekpieces refitted) and features prominently in calculations.

Geezer Rockstar
Returned to form with close second at Chepstow (2m3f, good; after wind op) at end of last season but was back in the doldrums on reappearance outing in November; now sports cheekpieces; others look much less risky.

Maldini Milano
Delivered on early promise when winning Plumpton maiden (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in November, form that has been well advertised by the second and third since; should have more improvement to come in handicaps; shortlisted.

Moutarde
Well beaten on first two starts for Syd Hosie but put in fairly good front-running shift before weakening into eighth at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; first-time visor) last month; contests this easier race from a workable mark and has possibilities if the new trip suits.

The Expensive One
Made all on handicap debut at Stratford (2m2f, good) in October and was running well until jumping error caused rider to lose iron at Cheltenham later that month; safely held on soft ground in November but back on a sounder surface here and may still have potential.

Call Me Legend
Kept on for third in Taunton handicap (2m3f, good) last month and has now made the frame on all four hurdling starts; moves up in trip and down in grade here; must be considered.

George Henry
Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but managed only third of four over C&D (good) on handicap debut last March and was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) when returning last month; stable has much more obvious chance with Maldini Milano.
