Shalfa
Five-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; lightly raced hurdler who ran well for a long way on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and she'd approve should conditions be drier here.

Goodwin Face
Hasn't always looked entirely convincing in a finish but he's only raced six times and has twice gone close at this track, in novice and handicap company; danger to all if fitness isn't an issue.

Pottersmattyeeehaa
Last run wasn't his best but likeable efforts prior to that in handicaps at about 2m3f (good to soft); has more pressing claims than most in here.

Voix De Bocelli
Last AW run was moderate but he'd been running well in that scene; beaten between 14l and 17l when registering three consecutive fourths over hurdles late last year and he's now 0-13 in this discipline; still entitled to each-way consideration.

Major Major
Won three on the Flat but doesn't look up to much over hurdles; completely tailed off on handicap debut here when friendless in the betting; tries two new forms of headgear.

Dream's Ka
Minor form so far, including when 40-1 for handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft); top trainer fits a tongue-tie; would need to see greater confidence behind him.

Definite
Sole career win came in 2022 when trained by Ralph Beckett; only minor promise over hurdles and hasn't offered all that much in this year's AW races after a long absence.

Arenas Del Tiempo
Tackles hurdles for the first time since going close off this mark at Fontwell 12 months ago; that form heightens interest, though recent AW exploits were none too inspiring.

Ballybay
9yo has raced six times under rules for three different yards; pulled up in both runs for this one, over hurdles and fences.

Pink 'n Purple
Lightly raced; only 6-1 for last month's handicap debut here but dropped away disappointingly; enough to prove.
