LADY BALKO marked herself as a young chaser to follow when scooting clear over C&D a fortnight ago, so she's taken to defy a 9 lb rise at the expense of Sadler's Bay, who wasn't disgraced after 10 months off when third at Market Rasen recently and now heads back up in trip fitted with a first-time tongue tie. Northern Poet has gone well fresh previously, so he completes the shortlist.

    Verdict
    On a roll in handicap hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run on return/chase debut and marked herself as a young staying chaser to follow when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 2 weeks ago. Will improve again.

    Verdict
    Proved at least as good as ever when scoring at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 12 months ago but laboured efforts on his next 3 starts. Has since switched yards ahead of this return so a watching brief advised with usual headgear discarded.

    Verdict
    Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Seen only 3 times last season and ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces when second of 4 to Copperhead at this C&D (good to firm) back in May. Has gone well fresh previously so he's a likely contender (has had a wind op).

    Verdict
    Won first 5 outings over fences. latest in 26f handicap at Fontwell in June. Had another wind op prior to return and lost his unbeaten record in this sphere with a whimper after 5 months off at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Must bounce back fitted with cheekpieces.

    Verdict
    Dual C&D winner and he signed off last season with a good second of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D in the spring. Proved easy to back after 8 months off and looked very rusty here (soft) a fortnight ago and now first-time cheekpieces go on.

    Verdict
    Fair maiden hurdler who took well to fences season, finishing runner-up in 3m handicaps at Southwell and Exeter. Wasn't disgraced after 10 months off when third at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) recently and that should've blown away any cobwebs. Tongue tie applied.
