1. Ballymilan: Returned to chasing last time with a poor performance but has won in that sphere before. Not disgraced on most recent hurdles start and remains on a handy mark, but the drop back in trip is not optimal. All wins have been at 2m7f/3m. Fair odds: 12/1.
2. Demothi: A maiden in points and under rules, most recently a modest fourth at Exeter (2m5f) when switched back to hurdles from chasing. Needs improvement on his bare form to be competitive. Fair odds: 20/1.
3. Ithaka: Ex-Irish maiden with little achieved in three handicaps for new stable. A 125-1 shot dropped to this grade latest, best watched unless the market suggests improvement is expected. Fair odds: 33/1.
4. Mount South: Unseated rider early at Fontwell last week but showed promise in previous handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft, finished third) last month. Worth another chance to confirm that potential. Fair odds: 5/1.
5. Mr Snow Way: Well-held last of four finishers in a similar event 18 days ago during his second handicap attempt. Improvement needed, and chance depends on whether he benefits from new headgear (blinkers replace cheekpieces). Fair odds: 14/1.
6. Noble Savage: Maiden with clear potential, finished first past the post in C&D handicap (good) 26 days ago but was demoted to second for interference. Unexposed at this trip and has clear possibilities despite a 3lb increase. Fair odds: 7/2.
7. Robber’s Bridge: Seven-race maiden, shaped better than the result over 3m at Ffos Las most recently. This drop back in trip may suit, and improvement is possible. Fair odds: 10/1.
8. Start Point: Made the frame twice at maiden level but has form figures of F60 since handicapping. Well beaten on return from 11-month absence most recently; something to prove. Fair odds: 25/1.
9. West Orchard: Showed ability but also quirky behaviour, running out at Fontwell and Exeter in his last two starts. Comes with risks due to his recent antics. Fair odds: 8/1.
