Diesel Line
Dual winner on good ground at Uttoxeter last summer; still in good form when last seen in the autumn and probably still on a workable mark but has fitness to prove after four months off and recent rain reduces his appeal.

- Sam Twiston-Davies / Billy Aprahamian

9/4 |
Kalkaroo
Battled gamely to reward good market support over C&D (soft) in February and has made the frame on both starts since, latterly when back here (good to soft) three weeks ago; strong contender again.

Hijo De La Luna
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when winning basement-grade AW race in February but was below that form on latest Flat start, and this is his first hurdle run since he was pulled up here (2m4f, good) on handicap debut last June; no headgear today; others have more pressing claims.

Cawthorne Banker
Needed considerable help from the handicapper before winning twice last year and has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year; usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; can't be supported with any confidence.

Bouboule
0-16 under all codes; didn't run badly when fifth over hurdles at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February but suffered a heavy defeat on AW last month and makes only limited appeal.

- Joshua Thompson / Micky Hammond

Bunker Bay
0-6 over hurdles but his third at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December was a good effort and he stuck to his task pretty well when filling same position (about 4l behind Kalkaroo) over C&D (good to soft) last month.

Ruler Legend
Soundly beaten on first two starts for Gary Hanmer but his fifth of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much more encouraging; could have a say if able to build on that recent effort.

Susiesparkle
Doubled her Flat tally with low-grade AW win in February 2025 but has poor record over hurdles and on the Flat since last summer; difficult to enthuse over.

Macho Sun
Last of five here (2m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now 0-27 under all codes; effectively on same mark from out of the weights today; blinkers (worn once on the Flat in 2024) are given another try.
