Verdict
Preference is for OF CORSE I CAN, who has shown promise in his 2 starts this season and could be ready to return to winning ways having eased back down in the weights. Youdecide is much respected, though, after his successful return at Stratford on Tuesday, while Helios Allen is one to keep an eye on making his stable debut.

VerdictPoint/hurdles winner who, after 5 months off, opened his chase account with a clear-cut success at Stratford 3 days ago. Makes a quick turnaround under 7 lb penalty, but he's not taken lightly with yard hitting form. - 6. Of Corse I CanJ: Bradley HarrisT: Neil MulhollandF: 611456-55

VerdictBack-to-back winner at this course and Newton Abbot (both at around 3¼m) in October last year. Making second start this season, shaped as if in good heart when fifth of 14 at Uttoxeter (3m) 5 weeks ago and he's now 2 lb below last winning mark. Major player. - 5.

VerdictFair winning hurdler at best but hasn't matched that level in 4 starts over fences, though showed better signs on final 2 outings back in 2024. Has been absent 2 years, but he's bred to make a chaser so could yet do better making first run since leaving Phillippa Taylor.

VerdictQuirky sort but made it 4 wins from 8 starts when scoring at Worcester (23f) in July, idling late on. However, weakened out of things quickly at Perth 13 days ago and this drop back in trip isn't sure to suit.

VerdictLong-standing maiden, including in points, and has gone with little promise in 2 novice hurdles for current yard, tailed off at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Has enough to prove returned to chasing.

VerdictNot the easiest to catch right but was on a going day when winning at this course (3¼m) in November 2024. Below form next 2 starts, before running out a wide-margin winner at Hereford (25f) in February last year. Has 18-month absence to overcome.
