Dropematthestation

Weakened into third on slow ground on last two hurdling starts (both 2m3f; tongue-tie added last time) but ran well for a long way in those races; no surprise if combination of last month's wind op and today's return to better ground enables a stronger finishing effort; shortlisted.

Graeme The Grey

Showed some promise in his bumpers but was well held when fourth here (2m1f, good to soft) on recent hurdling debut and has a lot to find with the principals.

Hardly Surprising

Point winner (yielding ground) who was placed on the last two of his three hurdling starts, more recently when third of 13 at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in January; will be right in the thick of things if handling the drying ground.

Jockey: Bryan CarverTrainer: Harry Fry
5
Jetaway Holiday

Joined Nicky Henderson after winning a fast-ground point last spring; made low-key rules debut when well-held fifth in Warwick bumper (good to soft) last month but ought to be capable of better.
