Mr Griffiths
Officially 12 lb 'well-in' after routing the opposition at Warwick last week, MR GRIFFITHS is hard to oppose. Indeed, a reproduction of that would almost certainly be good enough but it's highly likely that this lightly raced and progressive 6-y-o is capable of better still. Scairp Dubh is also unpenalised for his recent Carlisle success (due to go up 5 lb for that) and he is clear second choice ahead of handicap debutant Les's Destiny Star.

Major improver switched to handicaps the last twice, following his Fontwell breakthrough success with an emphatic display in a race for conditions and amateurs at Warwick (3¼m, soft) last week. Escapes a penalty for that and will take the world of beating.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick3m 2fSoftHurdle1/6Fontwell Park3m 1f 166ySoftHurdle1/11Chepstow2m 3f 100yGood to SoftHurdle8/10Warwick2m 3fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Newcastle2m 4f 62yGoodHurdle4/7- 8Scairp DubhJ: Jack PowerT: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith2765641Age 69/29/25/1

Has gradually progressed since making his way in handicaps, scoring with a bit to spare at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) recently. With no penalty to carry and this stiffer test likely to be in his favour, he should make his presence felt.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle2m 3f 61ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/16Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGoodHurdle6/14Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle5/9Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to SoftHurdle6/11- 10Star VantageJ: Charlie MaggsT: Rebecca Menzies42F6465Age 914/114/116/1

Long-standing maiden and while he boasts several pieces of form that suggest winning off this mark wouldn't be out of the question, it will be something of a surprise should he get his head in front here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby3m 26ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/16Musselburgh2m 7f 180ySoftHurdle6/7Wetherby3m 26ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle4/7Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to SoftHurdle6/8Market Rasen2m 7f 16yGoodHurdleF/9- 2Highbury HillJ: Bryan CarverT: Nigel Hawke25-2371Age 514/114/112/1

Bounced back from a rare poor effort at Uttoxeter in December when opening her account in 19.4f Chepstow handicap. 2 lb nudge fair enough and there can be hope that this trip will be within her range but the quality of the opposition here may be a stumbling block.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 3f 100ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/10Uttoxeter2m 3f 207ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle7/9Chepstow2m 3f 100yGood to SoftHurdle3/16Hexham2m 4f 28yGoodHurdle2/6Ffos Las1m 7f 182ySoftHurdle5/12- 1Be The DifferenceJ: Freddie KeighleyT: Philip Kirby311163PAge 1018/122/120/1

Completed the hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield in December but he ran no sort of a race at Ayr recently and he's hard to recommend on the back of that display.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 70ySoftHurdlepu/9Doncaster3m 84ySoftHurdle3/7Wetherby2m 5f 56ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Sedgefield2m 5f 34ySoftHurdle1/6Bangor-on-dee2m 7f 32ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/5- 4Les's Destiny StarJ: Kielan WoodsT: Ben Pauling2/0-4P8Age 718/114/116/1

Had wind op (also tongue tied) before getting off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23f, good to soft) last May.

Fair maiden hurdler who recorded a good third at Ludlow in first-time cheekpieces in December.

Fetched €95,000 as a 3-y-o and was an encouraging fourth on bumper debut in February.

Better than ever when recording third career success in an 11-runner Worcester handicap hurdle (23f, good) at the end of August. Found things too competitive over fences next time, though, and then ran poorly back in this sphere at Fakenham.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFakenham2m 7f 95ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/6Newton Abbot3m 1f 170yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/7Worcester2m 7fGoodHurdle1/11Worcester2m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle5/7Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood (Good To Firm in places)Chase4/6
