JUBILANT won in commanding style at Huntingdon last month and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He can follow up. Coastal Rock and Belvedere Blast rate the principal dangers.

Verdict
Found improvement, in first-time tongue strap, when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle (2/1) at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 12 days ago, plenty in hand. 10 lb higher now but should have more to offer.

Verdict
Bagged second win for Stuart Edmunds when pulling 16 lengths clear at Fakenham (23.4f) on New Year's Day. Not in same form when third in C&D handicap (good to soft) since but must enter calculations.

Verdict
Irish point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 3m at Southwell in October. Back to that sort of form when creditable fourth of 13 in on handicap debut at Kempton (21f, soft) 25 days ago. Not out of things.

Verdict
Opened account at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in November and got back to winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, heavy, 3/1) 25 days ago, driven out. 5 lb higher now but ought to go well again.

Scored here (23.1f) in January and ran to same level when creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft, 9/2) 14 days ago, finishing well. Likely to be in the mix again.

Verdict
Irish point winner who struck at fourth time of asking over hurdles at this course (20.5f) last April. Not really built on that, however, and returns from 7-month absence with bit to prove. Makes handicap debut.
