CALVIC caught the eye back from a break at Fontwell last time and is potentially on a good mark if building on that. Last year's winner Cloudy Wednesday and the improving Ronnies Reflection rate as big threats.

Little show over hurdles but big improvement to win 2 of his last 3 starts over fences, outstaying his rivals at Leicester last time. Remains of interest.

Verdict
Proved better than ever when gaining second chase success for current yard at Worcester (2½m, good) last summer. Mixed record since but caught the eye back from a 176-day absence at Fontwell. Better expected now.

Winner at Ffos Las 2 years ago. First impact since when just denied at Exeter last month before unseating in rather soft fashion at Ffos Las next time.

Verdict
Consistent sort who shaped as if still in good form for 90% of the way but didn't finish his race off at Southwell last time. Type to bounce back and won this race last year.

Remains a maiden over fences and has been struggling for form. Up against it again from out of the handicap.
