The vote goes to BALLYHIHO, who took a step forward upped to 23.7f on her handicap debut at Newcastle and this slightly shorter trip could prove to be ideal. Summer In Milan is an obvious danger on the back of his all-the-way C&D success, while Nowyouvebinandunit looks the pick of the Neil Mulholland-trained duo and she is also accorded respect, along with Ma Belle Noire, who has slipped to a dangerous mark.

    Verdict
    Found some improvement fitted with a visor fitted for the first time when making all over C&D at the end of March (Pearl's Pirate beaten 10 lengths in fourth). Up 6 lb but will be a danger to all if the headgear works equally well second time round.

    Verdict
    Won 3 times over hurdles in 2023 and, following an unsuccessful stint over fences, she performed respectably when fourth of 9 back in this sphere at Taunton (3m, good) in March. Trip/ground fine and dangerous to discount off a falling mark.

    Verdict
    Well held in 2 bumpers but sprung a 25/1 surprise on hurdles debut here (17.7f, soft) in December. Poor next 2 starts but back on track when runner-up at Plumpton (20.5f, good) last month and claims back here if able to build on that effort.

    Verdict
    Placed on 2 of 4 starts in Irish points and left low-key maiden/novice form well behind when second on handicap debut upped to 23.7f at Newcastle (good) last month. Dropping back slightly in trip here looks a good move and she's certainly one to consider.

    Verdict
    Off the mark in a novice handicap at Stratford in July and having been pulled up at Perth next time, wasted no time getting back to form tried hooded when third at Kempton (24.6f, good to soft) in November. Testing conditions perhaps to blame for heavy defeat at Exeter last time.

    Verdict
    Placed twice in handicaps for Simon Earle in summer 2023 and good second at Stratford (2¾m, good to soft) on first completed start for this yard in March. Shaped better than the distance beaten over the same C&D next time and she's not discounted.
