Bataillon

Nine-race maiden; 2m3f was perhaps too short when beaten 29l on chase debut a month ago and his previous defeat over hurdles was after an absence; there are reasons to believe he can up his game here.

Jockey: Mr Jack Stenhouse(7)Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Faitque de L'Isle

Regularly ridden by Lucy Turner, as when winning twice over 3m at Ludlow (good to soft/soft) last February and again at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in October; good runs have followed and another one is highly likely.

Zacony Rebel

Second and first in small-field handicap chases at about this trip at Huntingdon before a heavy defeat there just before Christmas; remains on a realistic mark if bouncing back.

Jockey: James BestTrainer: Sarah-Jayne Davies

Edgewell

Both British wins have been in staying handicap hurdles but he won over fences in Ireland; a good run in this discipline behind School For Scandal at Windsor in November (first-time blinkers) but he's looked a hard ride in his last two races.
