Kim Bailey, Cheltenham T B Spencer Hawkins Kim Bailey Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Progressive hurdler who made a winning start in this sphere at Market Rasen last November. However, jumping went amiss at Chepstow next time (beaten when eventually unseating rider 2 out following numerous mistakes) and he now has a bit to prove. TFRHHIII BHA134

Joe Tizzard, Sherborne T B Gerry Caplis Coral Racing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Dual hurdles winner and accounted for 5 rivals on chase debut at Exeter (19.2f, soft) last November. Failed to add to that in 4 subsequent starts of 2021/22 campaign but this drop back in trip looks a good move and he’s one to consider. TFRHHHHH BHA133

Charlie Longsdon, Chipping Norton T B Michael and Fiona O’Connor Merribelle Stable Llc S TIMEFORM VIEW Irish point winner who has made an excellent start over fences last term, completing a hat-trick at Ludlow in December. Soft ground perhaps wasn’t ideal at Sandown when last seen and he remains unexposed in this sphere. TFRHHHHI BHA133

Robert Walford, Blandford T B Michel Contignon & Mme Nelly Contignon Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Runner-up twice at Wincanton last season prior to resuming winning ways in good style there (2 1/2m, heavy) in March. Pulled up on return in a handicap hurdle at Worcester but that was presumably a pipe-opener and likely he’ll be seen in a better light back over fences here. TFRHHHII BHA132

Harty Wasdell Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Developed into a useful chaser last term, signing off with a couple of small-field victories in 21f Hereford handicaps. Reappearance effort at Market Rasen lacked spark, though, and others make more appeal. TFRHHIII BHA132

Mrs Jane Williams, South Molton T B H. Davies & R. Davies Kendall & Davies S TIMEFORM VIEW Won handicap chases at Fontwell and Newton Abbot last season and looked better than ever when winning 5-runner handicap chase on return at Warwick (2 1/2m, good). 5lb rise tolerable and he has to enter calculations, for all that this is more competitive.

Harry Skelton J O Darren & Annaley Yates Dan Skelton, Alcester T B Grove View Stud Limited The Air Ambulance Service (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire), Ladbrokes S TIMEFORM VIEW Landed a 19.5f Lingfield maiden hurdle on Rules debut and didn’t do a great deal wrong in 3 subsequent starts over timber last season. Shade disppointing on return/chase bow at Carlisle but this point winner is likely to make his mark in this sphere before long. TFRHHHII BHA127
