This is likely to be one-way traffic, with CARLTON a sizeable step ahead of the handicapper under a 7 lb penalty following last week's emphatic handicap debut success in this sphere at Southwell. Init Together is marginally preferred to Ez Tiger and Smart Casual for forecast purposes.

    Verdict
    Yet another example of how adept James Owen is at reinvigorating cast-offs from rival yards, winning 5 of his 7 starts on the Flat since joining the stable. Took things up another notch when easily making a successful handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell (15.8f, good) and he's hard to oppose.

    Verdict
    Plumpton winner last spring and, having shaped well when third there back from a break in October, he added to his tally at Warwick (2m, good) the following month. Didn't do much wrong when runner-up at Uttoxeter 11 days later and live each-way chance here if fully tuned-up.

    Verdict
    Stuck to his task when fourth in an Irish bumper for Darren Bunyan in 2022, but just modest form in a handful of runs over hurdles for two different yard since returning from a monster absence. Needs to raise his game now handicapping.

    Verdict
    Yet to win over hurdles, but ended time with Seamus Fahey in Ireland with a string of good efforts in defeat and since done well on the Flat for new connections, winning 4 times on the AW during the winter. Close fourth in a Brighton handicap last week and needs a second look back in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Best effort in final qualifying run when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Plumpton in December, but it would be something of an understatement to say that he has subsequently failed to build on that in handicaps.

    Dual winner on the Flat for Mitchell Hunt, but hurdles record stands at 0-9 and unlikely to buck that trend anytime soon based on what she showed at Stratford recently.

    Placed on first of 2 starts in bumpers for Emmet Mullins, but didn't show much over hurdles for that yard and it's been a similar story in a couple of runs for new connections this spring.

    Verdict
    Low-mileage 6-y-o who jumped right when fourth of 5 on his handicap hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) on latest start in November. Dropping back in trip here on better ground may help, but it's surprising that he's kept to a left-handed track in view of his propensity to jump right.
