Verdict
Plenty to consider but NOT SURE was unlucky to bump into one at Carlisle last time so tops the shortlist off the same mark. The in-form Hostile Hotelier is an obvious threat, while Court At Slip is potentially well treated if building on his latest run.

VerdictGained a deserved success over hurdles at Catterick in March and backed it up with a decent sixth at Musselburgh. Continued good run of form when runner-up back chasing at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago and remains unexposed in this sphere.

VerdictEnded a lengthy losing run from a mark 20 lb lower than for his previous win over fences when beating 8 rivals at Ayr 64 days ago. Only 2 lb higher here so should remain competitive back up in trip.

VerdictFair bumper winner who was progressive in novice hurdles in 2023, landing a double. Pulled up next time and off 20 months but proved she retains all her ability when third at Ffos Las 5 weeks ago. Interesting chasing newcomer.

VerdictA 3-time winner over 20f here last season. Shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off over 2m here last month and has dipped below his last winning mark, so capable of going well if seeing out this longer trip.

VerdictWell below form both starts in March after a long absence but took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Perth last month and potentially on a nice mark if building on that.

VerdictDual hurdles winner who belatedly got off the mark in this sphere at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) in February, making most with a bit in hand. Pulled up at Ayr next time but quickly back to form when third over extreme trip here 8 weeks ago.

VerdictImproved last spring, runner-up twice at Newcastle prior to opening her account over this C&D (heavy). Just the one decent effort last season, however, and ideally wants the ground more testing than this.
