Won by 6l at Perth last time; hit with 9lb rise but could have more to offer for yard

Soundly beaten in both h'caps but today's return to better ground might be in his favour

0-15 but running well in defeat in recent months and she's a likely player

Fair reappearance run at Ludlow last month and he may be able to build on that

Won by 6l at Huntingdon last month and this in-form 10yo is entitled to respect

Stayed on for fair 2m5f fifth at Hereford on Tuesday but others have more pressing claims

Perth last time was a step back in the right direction, but he needs to take another today

Pretty encouraging second over C&D on handicap debut and he's not ruled out
