Missed the break at Newbury (1m, good; in this first-time headgear combination) but still got to challenge Tilani and he's better off at the weights with that rival here; has missed three engagements in the last year on account of good to soft and soft ground.

Oman (IRE)

Oman (IRE)

0%

Versatile ground-wise and he wasn't far off the principals last time at Lingfield (1m2f); hard to call him well handicapped but entitled to have some say.

Perfect Scoundrel (GB)

Beaten between 6.5l and 11l in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) and has only dropped 5lb; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen.

Somkiyr (FR)

Won in France at two; modest hurdler for current team and hasn't been finding life all that easier back on the Flat.

Bizou (GB)

Bizou (GB)

0%

Improved to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit by the skin of her teeth; only 2lb higher so remains on a competitive mark, but slow ground hasn't looked ideal previously.

Platinum Prince (GB)

Platinum Prince (GB)

0%

Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races.

Look Back Smiling (IRE)

Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove.

Trooper (GER)

Trooper (GER)

0%

Five-time Flat winner in Belgium/Germany and could be glad to see the back of hurdles having offered nothing in that scene; current wellbeing is an issue but goes well with ease underfoot and cheekpieces go on; he'd be interesting if market vibes did bode well.

Tilani (IRE)

Tilani (IRE)

0%

Ex-Irish gelding who has only had four runs for Ian Williams and won the last two, 1m handicaps on good ground at Newbury and Yarmouth; had no penalty last time and now 6lb higher, but he's on a roll; has won on soft.
