108 Expert View: Made too much use of when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; trainer in form and off a short break. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, but may need this bit further than 2m to show his best now switched to fences.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a point-to-point at 3m. Finished 13l behind Light Fandango when fourth of 10 at 5-2fav on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Doncaster over 2m 1f (good) in December last year.
111 Expert View: Far too free and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Catterick last time, having been in good form prior. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m, acts on soft and good ground; consistent over fences and could bounce back.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a point-to-point at 3m, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 5-1 behind Hawthorn Street when fifth of 7 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Catterick over 3m 1f (soft) earlier this month.
118 Expert View: Scored by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Warwick two starts ago; ran to form when second, beaten 8l off 109, last time and is on the same mark here. Effective up to 3m, best at 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; back in form.
Form Snapshot: He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m 4f to 2m 6f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Beaten 8l by Duhallow Tommy when second of 7 at 11-4 on his latest outing in a chase at Southwell over 2m 4f (good to soft) earlier this month.
116 Expert View: Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter two starts ago; ran to form up in class when out-battled late and second, beaten a length off 106, last time. Now 2lb higher; effective around 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; more to offer after just a small rise.
Form Snapshot: Successful in a chase and a point-to-point at 2m 4f and 3m on heavy ground. Beaten 1l by Bluey when second of 9 at 7-2 on her latest outing in a chase at Windsor over 2m 4f (soft) last month.
111 Expert View: Ran to form, just tiring late having done plenty early, when second beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Ayr last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; back in form.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two chases at 2m 1f and 2m 4f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 12l by Big Stage when second of 6 at 7-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Ayr over 2m (soft) earlier this month.
121 Expert View: Yard won this race last year; needed the run and was not given a hard time when fourth, beaten 33l, in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Progressive chaser last term. Usually held up; effective over 2m-2m4f, acts on any ground but suited by a sound surface; should come on for the latest run.
Form Snapshot: He has won a hurdle race and two chases from 2m to 2m 3f on good and good to soft ground. Well beaten at 11-2 behind Imperial Bede when fourth of 7 on his latest outing in a chase at Catterick over 2m 3f (soft) earlier this month.
118 Expert View: Rallied gamely and ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m4f, acts on soft but best on a sound surface; back in form.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two chases at 2m 3f and 2m 4f on good and good to soft ground. Beaten 3l by Another Fine Mess when second of 5 at 7-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Doncaster over 2m 4f (soft) earlier this month.
110 Expert View: Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; off a short break. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good ground; in good form.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a chase at 2m 4f on good ground. Beaten 3/4l by Bravethewaves when second of 9 at 11-4jt-fav on his latest outing in a chase at Southwell over 2m 4f (good to soft) in November last year.
The consistent LARGY FORCE goes well for Sean Bowen and looks the percentage call after three solid displays for her current yard. Unlucky not to back up her Uttoxeter win when she was was edged out in a tight finish at Windsor latest, there is plenty to like about her attitude and 2lb nudge doesn't appear restrictive. Roger Rarebit has also been in good heart and must be feared on these terms. Onesoc's yard won this last year and he is an interesting each-way option.
ONESOC looked in need of the run last time but he wasn't given a hard time and is taken to resume his improvement here continuing the good form of his yard. He proved hugely progressive last term on varying ground and he should get a decent pace to aim at. Empty Nest arrives in form and showed a willing attitude when runner up last time to a rival who has franked the form. He can fill the places with Frisby who was too keen over 3m over hurdles last time but was consistent in this discipline previously. He should appreciate the drop in trip and could shed his maiden tag.
