Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat and he made his breakthrough over hurdles when rallying well to land a Wetherby novice (2m, good to soft) last Friday; still unexposed in this sphere and he's open to more progress off what looks a fair mark on handicap hurdle debut; interesting contender.

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more.

Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff.

Beat Restandbethankful when winning this race (heavy) last year but she's generally struggled since including in her final two runs in 2024; now back on last winning mark but she needs a major turnaround.

Form & Verdict
Out of a half-sister to a smart jumper but he's been soundly beaten at big prices in his three hurdle runs since October; still early days and now goes handicapping but he needs a much more dynamic effort.

Form & Verdict
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over fences at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in August and was a good third back over hurdles at Musselburgh in November; usually races prominently and he should give it another good shot in suitable conditions.

Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on.

Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well.

Form & Verdict
Fair on the Flat for William Knight; no impact in three hurdle runs for new stable last spring but he wasn't beaten far at Cartmel last time and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark; one of two runners for Micky Hammond and he needs checking in market on return.

J: Joshua Thompson

Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level.

0-8 over hurdles but has posted some good performances this season, most recently runner-up at Market Rasen (2m, good) 18 days ago; also effective on soft ground; makes a lot more appeal than most of these.
