Verdict
MONSANT showed his first sign of promise for the Neil Mulholland yard at Stratford last month and is given a chance to build on that promise with cheekpieces added now. Ugo Bingo made an encouraging start for new trainer Joe Tizzard at Fontwell last month and is preferred to My Friend Sean for the forecast spot.

VerdictUseful on Flat in France but nowhere near that level over hurdles. Latest Fontwell second wasn't that convincing as he merely kept on having been off the bridle a long way out. Cheekpieces go on in a bid to try and sharpen him up.

VerdictMost encouraging run since Joining Neil Mulholland when fifth of 13 at Stratford last month. May have gone closer but for meeting a bit of trouble and interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

VerdictWon a 2m course maiden on hurdle/yard debut in November. Matched that form in novices on next outings. Last month's Kelso handicap debut was a little disappointing, though. Fitted with a tongue strap on the back of that.

VerdictFairly useful winner but only modest form at best over hurdles for this yard last year. Best watched unless the market vibes strong back from 8 months off. Has a hood and tongue tie combined for the first time.- Unnamed Favourite
