It could be worth chancing MR YEATS, who figures off a handy mark and was still in contention when falling late on at Carlisle last month. Honneur D'Ajonc and Crystal Glance should also go well.

Verdict
Resumed winning ways when comfortably taking 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in March and ran to similar level, off 7 lb higher, when second of 3 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Stratford (16.3f, good) 13 days ago. Worth another crack at this longer trip and is another to consider.

Verdict
C&D winner who returned to form, in first-time blinkers, when creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to firm, 7/2) 7 days ago. Races off same mark here and is not taken lightly.

Verdict
Dual winner over hurdles last term who returned to form, in first-time blinkers, when creditable second of 6 in claiming hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good, 11/4) 15 days ago. Proven over this longer trip and warrants respect. Visor back on.

Not scored since 2022 but was on premises, on debut for new yard, when coming down 2 out in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good) 43 days ago. Could play a part here.

Verdict
Resumed progress when bagging a third win in handicaps at Taunton (19f) in November and backed up that effort when finishing a good second in handicap at Kempton (21f) over Christmas. Likely unsuited by testing ground when below par at Chepstow last time and is not out of things.

Resumed winning ways at Haydock (24.3f) in December and backed that up with creditable efforts on next 2 starts. Needs to bounce back from a poor run at Uttoxeter last time, however.

Verdict
Got back on track, reverting to hurdling, when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f in November. However, ran poorly when last seen at Huntingdon in February and others appeal more.
