Quite a few are afforded a decent chance but ENKI FLACKE remains attractively treated off just 10st-1lb and is worth another chance after finding a Class 3 hurdle at Cheltenham too much when last seen in November. He looked progressive when rattling up a Perth hat-trick last summer and hopefully the market will speak well of him after a 124-day break. Hands Of Gold seeks a hat-trick after maiden and novice hurdle successes and should deliver a competitive account on handicap bow, having already found the winner's enclosure over course and distance. The Gradual Slope put together a fair effort in competitive handicap company last time and should be in the shake-up again off his unchanged mark. Cash Back has topweight but completes the shortlist along with Carnfunnock.
