LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): O Murphy (56 wins from 241 runners, 23%) runs DYNAMITE DEFENSE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): F O’Brien (3 wins from 12 runners, 25%) runs JAGER TIME LONGEST TRAVELLER: ILOSTASOCK trained by E Pickard, Taunton, 165 miles.

HOPE RISING backed up her Southwell victory with a good second here last month and is still low mileage. She gets the nod in the opener Twirling was capable of useful form on the Flat and will be dangerous if taking to this discipline, while Squire Danagher is also of interest.

WEIGHTWATCHER: HIDDEN HEROICS won off a handicap mark of 127, his rating is now down 9lb to 118. LONGEST TRAVELLER: ART OF DIPLOMACY trained by M Bowen, Haverfordwest, 235 miles.

AJP KINGDOM’s two previous visits to this course have resulted in wide-margin, all-the-way victories and Fergal O’Brien’s charge is taken to maintain his 100% Uttoxeter record. He is just 3lb higher than for the latest of those two wins here, which came in a C&D handicap chase in November, and his latest effort at Stratford was a creditable one. Art of Diplomacy is just about second choice ahead of De Tellers Fortune and My Gift To You.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KING ROLY trained by M Bowen, Haverfordwest, 235 miles.

A competitive handicap, KING ROLY could be worth another chance returning to hurdles having chased home a progressive sort when last seen in this sphere. He appeals most stepping back up in trip, while Imperial Merlin could be interesting now tried in headgear, having been let down by his jumping since winning at Haydock in March. Prince Imperial arrives in ﬁne heart and would have ﬁnished closer had his saddle not slipped latest, while Wbee could go well if this becomes a test of stamina.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RORY’S STORY trained by T Davidson, Carlisle, 171 miles.

PESCATORIUS failed to justify support on his ﬁrst outing for this yard at Hexham last month but is worth another chance with his customary cheekpieces back on. Dexter is potentially well handicapped starting out for a new stable so makes the shortlist along with Rory’s Story, who split a pair of subsequent winners at Stratford.

WEIGHTWATCHER: AMBASSADOR won off a handicap mark of 100, his rating is now down 11lb to 89. LONGEST TRAVELLER: HOLY LEGEND trained by A Dunn, Wellington, 174 miles.

CRYSTAL MER had plenty in hand when justifying strong support on his ﬁrst outing for his current yard over C&D last month and looks certain to progress further and win more races. Turpin Gold is another who has been transformed by a stable switch and seems sure to go well in his hat-trick bid given the authority in which he scored at Huntingdon, while the in-form and likeable Pittsburg is also worthy of respect back over the smaller obstacles.
