Verdict: His second at Aintree in October suggested that this year's Chester Cup sixth EMIYN should be capable of paying his way over hurdles.

Comment: Useful Flat performer and was running okay (beaten 5l in the Chester Cup) until below par last time with a visor back on (now discarded); two respectable efforts over hurdles last year, notably when second in an Aintree maiden; every chance; has no clear ground preferences.

Comment: Still on a workable mark but he looked a hard ride last week at Bangor (3m, good) where he lost his position before running on again for second; bit risky, especially as the blinkers didn't work well when tried by his previous connections (worn cheekpieces or a visor last three races).

Comment: Won over fences in France and appeared to perform below expectations on stable debut in a 2m1f novice hurdle here; this should be more his game and quite likely is a 5yo with more to offer; unraced over this far but there's stamina in his pedigree.

Comment: Well below his best last autumn on final two runs for Ryan Potter; however, perhaps a break and a change of scenery will have reignited some spark and he's 1lb lower than when 1l second to Sean Og over C&D (good) last June; could play a leading role if conditions suit (may want good going).

Comment: Scored over C&D (good) off 5lb lower last summer; not seen over hurdles since placed at Sedgefield in December, though, and has not been firing on all cylinders on the Flat this year; others preferred.

Vocal Duke

Jockey: Mr Shay Halton Trainer: James Moffatt Age/Wt: 9/10-6 F: 76-063 OR: 85

10/1

Comment: Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his C&D win in June 2022; ran well for a long way when placed at Hexham (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago but is not the percentage call here; cheekpieces off; tongue-tie on.

12/1

Comment: Irish raider who returned from five-month break with creditable third at Kilbeggan (2m, good) at start of this month; significant rain will reduce his appeal here but he remains well handicapped on older form.

Comment: Placed in valuable C&D (good) handicap last summer and returned from 342-day absence with creditable third at Hexham (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; drops in grade today; hood refitted; high on the list.

Calevade

Jockey: Mr Toby McCain-Mitchell Trainer: Ben Haslam Age/Wt: 9/11-13 F: 6/131- OR: 106

14/1

Comment: Gained all four hurdling wins over C&D (good-soft), including the last two editions of this race; absent since poor Flat run in October but there's a good chance he'll be primed to make a bold bid from the front today.

16/1

Comment: 0-15 over hurdles when based in Ireland but shaped with significant promise when fifth of 15 on recent stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); drops back in trip here; contender if that run brought him on.

22/1

Comment: Won against own age-group on stable/hurdle debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) in November and the form of his subsequent third there has worked out well; remains unexposed over jumps but returned from break with two underwhelming Flat runs this spring and rain is unlikely to aid his cause here.

22/1

Comment: 0-6 over hurdles for Alastair Ralph, and her second at Stratford (2m, good) in April came in a very ordinary mares' maiden; sold for £9,000 last month; needs improvement on stable debut; tongue-tie/cheekpieces removed.

Jockey: Mr John Dixon Trainer: Dianne Sayer Age/Wt: 10/11-6 F: 053-54 OR: 99

25/1

Comment: Eight-time hurdle winner (once over C&D); recent efforts have been perfectly respectable but he's no longer the force of old and would probably prefer the rain to stay away; younger rivals appeal more.

40/1

Comment: Dual 2m hurdle winner for Alastair Ralph this year (soft/good) and signed off for him with two good seconds in the spring; makes stable debut from career-high mark but enters calculations; swaps blinkers for refitted visor; the tongue-tie is new.
