The Truant (Ire)

Age: 9
Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: 105

Dual-purpose performer landed a gamble in a 2m Punchestown handicap hurdle on final run for Paul W. Flynn. Operating below his best on the all-weather of late but cannot be totally discounted on just his second start over hurdles for new yard.

Charlie My Boy (Ire)

Age: 9
Weight: 11st 1lbs
Or: 92

Cosy winner off 5 lb lower on reappearance in this race 12 months ago, and while not in the same form when well-held fifth here on latest start in October, he's presumably been kept fresh for a repeat bid.

Raffles Nobu (Fr)

Age: 6
Weight: 10st 13lbs
Or: 90

Hasn't recaptured his best since joining capable new yard, extending a long losing run when pulled up at Uttoxeter last time, though is at least worth another go over this sort of distance.

Tyson (Ger)

Age: 6
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Or: 101

Confirmed the promise of an eye-catching previous run when landing a gamble to open his account at Newcastle (2½m) in March. Made little impact off 9 lb higher in a better race at Fakenham subsequently but needs considering back in calmer waters.

Below The Belt (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 11st 4lbs
Or: 95

Lightly-raced 5-y-o showed improved form when runner-up on handicap bow at Market Rasen (21f) 17 days ago, not looking flattered despite always being well positioned, and he makes plenty of appeal to go one better in first-time cheekpieces.

Timeform Verdict

Low-mileage 5-y-o BELOW THE BELT looks the most solid option, and the addition of first-time cheekpieces can see him go one better than he did on handicap debut at Chepstow. Tyson contested a much stronger handicap at Fakenham last time and this find this much easier. Last year's winner Charlie My Boy has to be considered also.
