4.5
4.5/1(+40%)
(4) Da Vinci Hand 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who opened his account in this sphere in 2m handicap at Catterick 21 days ago. Much respected despite 4 lb rise.

Lord Roco

9

3.33
3.33/1(+63%)

40
40/1(-100%)
(5) Jack Of All Shapes 40/1, Steady progress in bumpers, including second at Ayr in October. Only midfield on his Hexham hurdle debut since but he should be capable of better.

(3) Glenbeg Lake 25/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Oct 30). Betting should guide on Rules debut.

(2) Uncle Alastair 2.25/1, Dual bumper/multiple hurdles winner who was narrowly outpointed by a progressive type on return at Carlisle (20.9f) last month. Low-mileage for a horse of his age and he has to be feared.

Kaizer

10
10/1(+29%)
(9) Kaizer 10/1, Respectable fifth of 10 at Kelso in first-time cheekpieces (off now) over Christmas, although the reopposing Skipthescales was ahead of him in second.

3rd (3) Getalead (4/1 +27%)
Getalead

4
4/1(+27%)
(3) Getalead 4/1, Thrived late last year, rattling off quick-fire hat-trick. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 13 over 19f at Taunton last month. Claims if stamina holds now stepping up in trip.

Bullion Boss

8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(13) Bullion Boss 8.5/1, Opened his account in 3m Musselburgh handicap last January and has recorded creditable efforts on both starts this season (C&D first occasion). Ought to figure again.

5th (7) The Delray Munky (9/1 +55%)
The Delray Munky

9
9/1(+55%)
(7) The Delray Munky 9/1, Kelso chase winner last winter who didn't show enough in a couple of comeback runs over hurdles last month to fancy his chances here.
12
6th (12) Dequall (25/1 -14%)
Dequall

25
25/1(-14%)
(12) Dequall 25/1, Didn't take to fences last month and he was rather laboured when a well-held third back hurdling at Wetherby 11 days ago. First-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to sharpen him up.
1
7th (1) Taxmeifyoucan (25/1 -257%)
Taxmeifyoucan

25
25/1(-257%)
(1) Taxmeifyoucan 25/1, Has struggled for form in varied events since 3¼m Musselburgh win last February. Does have up Brian Hughes up, though, so worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Skipthescales

7
7/1(+30%)
(8) Skipthescales 7/1, Long time since he last won, although latest Kelso second was his best run this season. Sports a visor for the first time here.

Return Fire

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(5) Return Fire 5.5/1, Fair form, finishing placed on all 3 starts since his debut, including a handicap. Less exposed than most of these and fancied to figure prominently again.

Lissen To The Lady

50
50/1(+0%)
(15) Lissen To The Lady 50/1, Hit the target at Carlisle and Kelso last spring but not in the same form in recent months. 5 lb out of the handicap and likely best to look elsewhere.
6

Soivegotachance

16
16/1(+43%)
(6) Soivegotachance 16/1, Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles but he ran no sort of race on 19.5f Ayr handicap debut in November. Up in trip.

Kauto D'amour

10
10/1(+17%)
(11) Kauto D'amour 10/1, Hasn't offered that much encouragement in his 4 runs this season but the fact that both his wins came here means it wouldn't be a surprise if he staged a revival.

Filou Des Issards

150
150/1(-500%)
(4) Filou Des Issards 150/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs. Little impact in points last year and watching brief advised on Rules return with a first-time headgear combination fitted.

Furax

125
125/1(-150%)

Penpal

80
