Maiden; ran his best race since going handicapping when second to a progressive sort on soft at Hereford last time (first run at 3m1f); chance on that form.

Unexposed; fair second of three to a subsequent winner at Leicester on his handicap debut last time (2m4f, soft); may improve again now up to 3m1f; quite interesting.

Unexposed; modest efforts in maiden/novice company but is interesting up in trip for handicap debut; worth a market check.

Off the mark at the 13th attempt when winning in good style at Wincanton last time (3m, good to soft); should go well despite 8lb rise.

Jewel Eyed Judy
Seemed to show improved form when well-backed winner at Leicester in November (2m4f, soft; second went on to win two chases); fared less well when only fourth of five over same C&D next time; returns to this longer trip (pulled up after being hampered previous run at 3m1f).

Ex-Robert Stephens; in good form in 2023 with two wins at about 2m4f at Chepstow (soft/heavy); bit disappointing since; has first run for new yard here; could go well despite 273-day break.

Seven-time winner over 2m on AW at Lingfield; not as good over hurdles so far (pulled up at Plumpton last April on latest start); needs to improve for step up in trip.

Won a hurdle here (2m5f) and a chase for Robert Walford; best run last season when second at Exeter on reappearance in January (2m5f, soft; 125-1); disappointing after that; 10lb lower now and could go well after another break.
