- Sonnemoser: Despite not being able to pass William Of York in their last encounter, the increased emphasis on stamina in this race may favour Sonnemoser. As the 9/4 favourite, the horse has a strong chance of performing well.
- Samtara: Recently achieving a win at Hereford and with favourable conditions expected, Samtara shouldn’t be dismissed lightly. The horse is currently priced at 11/4, indicating a solid chance of performing well.
- Hardy Boy: As the winner of this race last year and with recent performances close to his best, Hardy Boy is poised to be competitive. However, the horse’s tendency to make mistakes is a concern. Hardy Boy’s odds of 11/4 suggest a good chance of performing well.
- William Of York: Despite making mistakes during his recent win at Wetherby, there is hope for improvement as the horse gains experience. The horse’s current odds of 10/3 indicate a decent chance of performing well in the race.
The other runners, such as Percy Willis, City Roller, Black Lightning, and Ace Time, are less likely to perform well based on their odds and recent form. However, it’s worth noting that Percy Willis has potential for improvement and could be one to watch at this level, given his Flat form.

- Moviddy: As the current favourite at 5/4 and with a strong performance history, including a win at Lingfield in February, Moviddy is the one to beat according to the BHA ratings. The horse still has room for improvement and should be a strong contender.
- Blue Beach: With odds of 13/8, Blue Beach has a solid chance of performing well. The horse won over the course and distance in February and demonstrated potential for more improvement when finishing second in a valuable event at Newbury.
- Just Sophie: Despite needing to improve further to follow up on her recent win at the course, Just Sophie has shown promise in her previous races. With odds of 4/1, the horse might have a decent chance of performing well, although her trainer may have stronger claims with Moviddy.
- Artemis Kimbo: Returning from a 75-day break and sporting a new tongue-tie, Artemis Kimbo has shown promise in previous races, including a win at Leicester in December. The horse is currently priced at 5/1, indicating a potential chance of performing well.
The other runners, such as Artemis Sky, Flora Paget, Nancy Till, Park End Sunrise, Stargazer Belle, and Martalindy, are less likely to perform well based on their odds and recent form. However, some may improve as they gain more experience or enter handicapping.

- Master Malcolm: Currently the favourite at 11/8, Master Malcolm has won at Fontwell and coasted home over the course and distance on soft ground 19 days ago. Despite an 8lb rise, the horse seems likely to give a strong performance under these conditions.
- Chestnut Pete: With odds of 4/1, Chestnut Pete has been placed without winning over hurdles and recently performed well on his chase debut at Hereford. The horse should be fine over this distance and is expected to be a strong contender.
- Out The Glen: Priced at 6/1, Out The Glen has shown solid form in recent races and previously won over the course and distance. As a front-runner, this horse has a good chance of performing well in the race.
- Tom Creen: With odds of 6/1, Tom Creen has had two wins this season at Sedgefield and has maintained a consistent performance level in subsequent races. There is no reason to believe he won’t be in the thick of it again, making him a solid contender.
Other runners, such as Duke of Luckley, Follow Your Fire, Thundersockssundae, and Cloudy Wednesday, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience.

- Matterhorn: Currently the favourite at 5/4, Matterhorn won by 13l at Taunton after having wind surgery. Despite racing freely, the horse had no problems last time, and this race will demand more from him.
- Dancila: Priced at 11/4, Dancila was a ready winner on her stable/hurdle debut at Musselburgh and displayed similar form when finishing second at Taunton. Both performances suggest that Dancila could be the one to beat in this race.
- Cruz Control: At 4/1 odds, Cruz Control has won by 8l at Newcastle and Wetherby over 2m on soft ground. The horse made all last time and has the potential to improve further, making him a serious contender despite conceding weight to most rivals.
- Western Zephyr: With odds of 7/2, Western Zephyr won at short odds over 2m on good to soft ground in two of his first three starts over hurdles, with one of those wins at this track. If he returns to form, he could be a strong player in this race.
Other runners, such as Flashy Boy, No Risk With Lou, Noonie, Remember Ally, and Meanaz, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience. Keep an eye on the market for any indications of support or noteworthy changes.

- Armchair Farmer: Currently the favourite at 5/2, Armchair Farmer won a three-runner maiden over the same distance and scored easily on handicap debut at Exeter. He’s a major player if bouncing back from a less impressive performance under a penalty. The 5lb claimer enlisted may help, but it’s worth noting that all his form is on good ground.
- The Questioner: Priced at 7/2, The Questioner has shown general progress since handicapping. Although his peak form is at longer distances in chase races, he’s one to note on this lower hurdles mark.
- Grillon de Monty: At 4/1 odds, Grillon de Monty ran well from the front on his British debut in a handicap at Southwell. While that performance was promising, he was pulled up over the same course and distance on Boxing Day.
- Ernest Gray: With odds of 6/1, Ernest Gray won a four-runner novice handicap at Doncaster on his first attempt at 3m. However, he needs to resume improvement after being pulled up in his subsequent race on soft ground.
- Lanspark: Priced at 7/1, Lanspark is a three-time handicap winner at around 3m and has finished as runner-up in two of his three starts this season. With headgear enlisted by his new stable, he could be in the mix for this race.
Other runners, such as Judicial Law, Godrevy Point, and Let’s Have Another, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience. Keep an eye on the market for any indications of support or noteworthy changes.

- Drop Him In: Currently the favourite at 13/8, Drop Him In justified favouritism in a nine-runner novice handicap chase over the same course and distance on good to soft ground 19 days ago. Despite an 8lb rise in the weights, he’s one to take seriously.
- Duke of Deception: Priced at 9/2, Duke of Deception’s two best runs in this sphere were in small fields on heavy ground, including an easy win at Musselburgh on his penultimate outing. If he can replicate that form, he could be a strong contender.
- Dreamsundermyfeet: At 11/2 odds, Dreamsundermyfeet is an often front-runner with four wins in 2021. Although his peak efforts have been over shorter distances, he’s not far off his best form and could perform well with Brian Hughes back on board.
- Eurkash: Priced at 11/2, Eurkash has a chance based on his penultimate start when finishing third of seven at Uttoxeter. If he can bounce back from a late fall at Plumpton five weeks ago, he could be in contention.
- Doyens De Ante: At odds of 8/1, Doyens De Ante gave one of his best efforts when finishing second to Drop Him In over the same course and distance. Although now 3lb out of the handicap, it’s worth noting he’s not weighted to turn the tables.
Other runners, such as Frau Georgia, Mister Tickle, Ron Burgundy, and Troed Y Melin, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience. Keep an eye on the market for any indications of support or noteworthy changes.

- Borodale: Currently the favourite at 15/8, Borodale was beaten 12 lengths into fourth at Market Rasen, but the winner looks useful. Being strong in the betting at odds-on suggests that there is potential for improvement, making him a likely contender.
- Land Genie: Priced at 15/8, Land Genie is a half-brother to star hurdler Constitution Hill and comes from a yard with plenty of bumper winners. He has an impressive pedigree on paper and could be a strong contender in this race.
- Man of My Dreams: At odds of 7/2, Man of My Dreams joined a good yard for rules action after a point-to-point career. However, other runners may have a stronger appeal in this race.
- Ever Ready: Priced at 5/1, Ever Ready is a half-sister to smart winners Rainyday Woman and William Cody. Although unable to land a blow at Wetherby, there was promise in that run, making her a potential contender.
- No No Espresso: At 16/1 odds, No No Espresso’s stable has a 1-15 record with bumper runners this season. He may have potential, but the market can be a good guide for his first run.
Other runners, such as Little Peter, Guinessed, Armadar, and Hay Up Harry, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience. Keep an eye on the market for any indications of support or noteworthy changes.

- Tigger: Currently the favourite at 7/4, Tigger showed promise when finishing sixth in a steadily-run Ascot bumper. Open to improvement, he has winning brothers Battleoverdoyen and Swordsman who both handle slow ground, making him a strong contender in this race.
- The Kemble Brewery: Priced at 10/3, The Kemble Brewery is the first foal of a point winner and comes from a stable that is returning to form. With a pedigree that includes Grand Sefton winner Warriors Tale, he is one to watch for market confidence.
- Hey Brother: At odds of 4/1, Hey Brother had an encouraging fourth-place finish at Wetherby on his rules debut and has the potential to perform better.
- Crystal Mer: Priced at 5/1, Crystal Mer has had better runs at Cheltenham and Doncaster since his debut, and the sharp test of this race should suit him, suggesting he could fare better.
- Mersey Street: At 15/2 odds, Mersey Street had a decent run on his rules debut, and slower conditions might prompt improvement.
Other runners, such as Newton, War Bonnet, Megascope, and Gotthereintheend, may have less chance of winning or performing well based on their recent form and odds. However, they may still have potential for improvement under specific conditions or as they gain more experience. Keep an eye on the market for any indications of support or noteworthy changes.
