Boann had a bad draw at Lingfield and could never get competitive, hating the kickback. She is better positioned tonight although 6f is as far as she wants to go.

Wynter Wildes has been a star and deserves a crack at a race like this. She ran a belter last time in a very tough race and a step up a furlong should be fine. She can be thereabouts.

Clipsham Gold ran a better race last time. He's done well in the meantime and I think he can go close.

Salver had just a single moderate run for previous connections in Italy. He is half-brother to smart hurdler Saldier and Jamie has chosen to ride him.

Andaleep takes a shot at this valuable final. He ran a good race from too far back last time in his qualifier and a better run through should see him able to pick up a piece of the pot.

Dirtyoldtown soon cried enough the other day when headed at Lingfield but that was a smart horse that he was taking on. On what we've seen on the track he's hard to gauge.

Botox Has was lightly raced last season with only four outings but he did win a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Haydock. He has a few pounds to find on official ratings with a couple of the more established senior runners, but it's not an insurmountable margin if he continues to improve as he did…

Having previously won a bumper, You Wear It Well developed into a top-class novice hurdler last season. She won the Grade 2 Jane Seymour Novice at Sandown and followed up in another Grade 2, the Mares' Novice at the Cheltenham Festival. Those wins entail a penalty here but she is in top order for this…

La Marquise is by a young sire Beaumec de Houelle. By Martaline, he was a Grade 1 winner over jumps, wjhile her dam is by Pivotal and has produced two winners from two runners, one being the very smart Mister Policeman. She did plenty in pre-training last season and we like what we've seen of…

Roger Pol, 2nd in an Irish point-to-point, won two bumpers after joining us last season. He jumps well and was a good 2nd on his hurdles debut, just bumping into one who got first run and he couldn't peg him back. He'll be sharper here and will take all the beating if handling this quirky…

Hul Ah Bah Loo is a one-time winner at this track and trip but has a good opportunity here. His run style means he needs a strong gallop to aim at, but he seems in good shape and should be involved if last week's average run over further has not taken its toll.
