Starman
Seemingly back in good form when close second to short-odds favourite at Catterick (1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, his third start for Joanne Foster, but pulled up there twice since and now has it all to prove again; tongue-tie (worn on penultimate start) refitted.

Gower Prince
Absent since pulled up over hurdles for Matt Sheppard last summer (wore cheekpieces) but was unlucky not to win a chase for him at Chepstow (2m, good) just under a year ago, and he's now 5lb below that mark; will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting before this stable debut; usual hood refitted.

Forsa Bay
Made quite promising seasonal/chase debut over C&D in December and bounced back from a poor run with good third under Ellie Callwood at Hereford (2m, good; first-time visor) last month; could still have a bigger run in him; shortlisted.

It's Party Time
Pulled up on first two hurdling starts and probably didn't achieve a great deal when last of four on his latest outing; showed promise in Irish points last year, though, and remains very unexposed under rules; worth a glance in the betting before chase/handicap debut.

Cawthorne Cracker
Three hurdle wins; went close to a breakthrough chase success at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last September but absent since respectable hurdle run the following month and may be reliant upon genuine good ground.

Kally Des Bruyeres
Scored off reduced hurdle mark at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; first run after wind op) last month but was unable to justify favouritism when only fourth of six on chasing debut at Taunton (2m, good) a few days later, and needs a better performance here.

Lone Soldier
0-8 over fences and 0-18 overall; clear second to an improver over C&D (soft) in January and now only 1lb above that mark but hasn't quite been in the same form since; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Beat The Edge
On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate.
