The second half of the field find themselves out of the handicap due to the presence of very smart Tutti Quanti, but Paul Nicholls' improving handicapper may struggle to give such weight away to TELLHERTHENAME and Gibbs Island, with Dan Skelton's charge fancied to make his second start for the yard a winning one.

Zestful front runner who justified good support in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury before following up with much improved, dominant victory in the William Hill Hurdle there in February. Lost any slim chance he had at the start in the Champion Hurdle but very much respected back in a handicap.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 87yGood to SoftHurdle8/9Newbury2m 69yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle1/15Newbury2m 69ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Chepstow2m 11yGoodHurdle6/9Ffos Las1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/6- 2Captain HugoJ: Sean HoulihanT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White-1121F1Age 67/27/24/1

Lightly-raced 6-y-o whose form in maiden/novice hurdles has plenty of substance, and he improved a chunk when making a successful handicap debut in the Morebattle at Kelso in late-February. Connections have bypassed the major festivals in favour of a crack at this and another good run is expected.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 51yGood to SoftHurdle1/17Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to SoftHurdleF/4Haydock Park1m 7f 144yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Aintree2m 209ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/3Newbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle1/11- 6Secret SquirrelJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Hughie Morrison3F1F-30Age 75/14/19/2

Rock-solid form in top-quality handicaps last season, and though he went the wrong way from an encouraging reappearance when down the field in the County last time, it's far too early to write him off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle19/23Wincanton1m 7f 50yHeavyHurdle3/4Newbury2m 69ySoft (Good to Soft in places)HurdleF/17Windsor2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/14Ascot1m 7f 152yGood to Soft (Soft in places)HurdleF/12- 5Ooh BettyJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Ben Clarke3-00019Age 89/111/110/1

Likeable type has been a credit to connections, finishing third in this race 12 months ago and typically giving her running when ninth in the County at Cheltenham. Unlikely to get it all her own way in front this time, though.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle9/23Ascot1m 7f 157ySoftHurdle1/4Taunton2m 3f 1yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle10/11Ascot1m 7f 157yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle10/11Haydock Park1m 7f 144yGoodHurdle13/16- 8All In YouJ: James BowenT: Warren GreatrexU05-21PAge 69/19/18/1

Dual Flat/hurdle winner in France improved from his stable debut near miss when readily quickening clear to land a solid Sandown handicap in January. Looked potentially smart that day and is worth another chance, having been all at sea in very testing conditions at Newbury last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/15Sandown Park1m 7f 216yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Ascot1m 7f 157ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/15Newbury2m 69yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/9Auteuil2m 3f 85yHeavyHurdle10/16- 7Queenie St ClairJ: Sean BowenT: Nick Scholfield-613151Age 612/112/111/1

Strong-travelling mare has been one of several success stories for her rookie trainer this season, notching a third win since joining the yard in a Go North Series Final handicap at Kelso last time. Hard to crab at that form but this requires more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 51yGood to SoftHurdle1/15Newbury2m 69yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/6Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yHeavyHurdle1/6Taunton2m 104yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/12- 9Dedicated HeroJ: Danny McMenaminT: Sandy Thomson6782UP1Age 712/112/111/1

Capitalised on a significant drop in grade when successful at Kelso earlier this month, clearly all the better of a breathing operation, too.

Doesn't arrive in the same form as when fifth in last year's renewal of this race, for all he was probably unsuited by conditions at Taunton on his latest start, and this looks a tall order at the weights.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 104yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdleur/10Ascot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/13Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle4/18Haydock Park1m 7f 144yGoodHurdle14/16- Non-Runners

One-time exciting novice has fallen to a handy mark having never really fired for the O'Neill stable, but there were promising signs on first start for Dan Skelton in the County at Cheltenham, and he could be the one to beat for a stable with an impressive knack of landing valuable handicaps.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle12/23Carlisle1m 7f 207yGoodChase3/4Aintree2m 4fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/6Kelso2m 51yGood to SoftHurdlepu/18Newcastle2m 46yGoodHurdle4/7- 3Gibbs IslandWithdrawnJ: Stan SheppardT: Tom Lacey8-10577Age 5

Last season's Victor Ludorum winner had been in the doldrums following a successful reappearance at Chepstow, but he bounced back (with hood refitted) when a very encouraging seventh in the County last time. Looks capable of going close if building on that run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/23Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/10Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle5/6Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle11/18Chepstow2m 11yGoodHurdle1/13
