17:00 Ragamuffin (NAP)
Ragamuffin showed improved form to get off the mark at Ffos Las in November, proving his versatility with regards to trip, and he confirmed that improvement when following up under a penalty at Bangor the following month, edging ahead on the line. He came up short in his hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter last time, but lost little caste in defeat, bumping into an improver who looked thrown-in from his opening mark.
Ragamuffin still pulled three lengths clear of the remainder though, and he is obviously going the right way at present. He remains open to improvement and is the most progressive type in this field.

14:55 Buster Edwards (NB)
A winner of back-to-back handicap hurdles last winter, Buster Edwards made an encouraging start to life over fences at the beginning of this season, producing creditable efforts to finished placed on his first two outings over larger obstacles.
He has lost his form since then, failing to build on his promising start, and though he failed to stop the slide when reverted to hurdles at Exeter last time, he has been eased a further 2 lb in the weights – now 10 lb lower than his last winning mark in this sphere – and he could be worth chancing with the cheekpieces back on.

15:55 The Some Dance Kid (E/W)
The Some Dance Kid looked a horse full of potential when landing a hat-trick of hurdle races in 2018/19, but he failed to match that form over fences last season, failing to beat a horse home in any of his three races over the larger obstacles. He continued out of sorts sent back over hurdles at Wetherby in October, but he took a step back in the right direction when third at Catterick last month, the test perhaps on the sharp side for him. This step back up in trip, as well as the fitting of a first-time tongue tie, are both positives, and he could be worth siding with, particularly with claimer Theo Gillard taking a handy 5 lb off his back.
