Guard Duty
GUARD DUTY's 2 placed efforts this season represent solid form and he's taken to provide Emma Lavelle with a second successive win in this race. Geromino landed this race 2 years ago and may provide the main threat on the back of an encouraging return from an absence at Haydock. Smokeringinthedark is next on the list.

Three wins last season and has returned with solid placed efforts in handicaps at Newbury (I20/5f, good to soft) and Windsor (2½m, good) this winter. Likely to give another good account for last year's winning yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/12Newbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/15Uttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood to SoftHurdle9/17Newbury2m 4f 118ySoftHurdle1/11Windsor2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/10- 5Glynn BraeJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies2115-15Age 610/310/33/1

Three maiden/novice hurdle wins last season and showed a willing attitude to land another win in 2½m Sandown handicap on reappearance in November. Disappointing back at Sandown since but his overall record suggests he's capable of bouncing back.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle5/8Sandown Park2m 3f 173yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/6Newbury2m 2f 183yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Fontwell Park2m 1f 162ySoft (Heavy in Places)Hurdle1/4Fontwell Park2m 1f 162ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/5- 7Ginger MailJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Fortunate winner (3 lengths down when left in lead last) at Ayr (20.5f, soft) last January.

C&D scorer who was in cracking form when winning 3 times between March and June last year. Has a career-high mark to contend back from 7 months off so the percentage call might be to look elsewhere.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHexham2m 4f 28yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Aintree2m 4fGoodHurdle1/6Kelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle2/6Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Uttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood to SoftHurdle12/17- Non-Runners

Disappointing back from 6 months off at Wetherby in November but put that quickly behind him when second of 9 over 2½m at Musselburgh on New Year's Day.

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead. Opened account for present yard when scoring in decisive fashion at Newbury (2m) in November.

Winner of this race 2 years ago. Lightly raced since but showed he retains plenty of ability back from a long absence when fourth of 8 at Haydock just after Christmas.

Resumed winning ways after 9 months off in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in October. Battled well on that occasion but ran poorly when pulled up at Newbury 6 weeks later. Given a bit of time since and he was runner-up over C&D off a similar mark last winter.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/15Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle1/10Taunton2m 3f 1yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/7Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/8Kempton Park2m 5fGoodHurdle4/4
