Form & Verdict
0-8 over hurdles but has made the frame on all four starts for Jeremy Scott since the autumn and ran a big race when second in first-time blinkers at Exeter (2m7f, good) this month; likely to make his presence felt again.

T: Jeremy Scott

Improved for staying trips on good ground as a hurdler, finishing a good second at Exeter and going one better at Ascot (both about 2m7f) in March; had more on his plate behind a progressive one at Worcester in May but even so he wasn't quite at his best; should have potential now chasing.

Has form figures of 23421 since joining Jeremy Scott and he justified favouritism with a comfortable success at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March; up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that breakthrough win and he's open to more progress; respected.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed when last of three at Wincanton (3m, good) on Monday but looked very well suited by the step up in trip when close/clear second to a next-time-out winner over that C&D (soft) in February and may yet build upon that performance.

Form & Verdict
Beaten about 55l at Windsor (2m4f, good to soft) in December and has now been unplaced all eight hurdling starts but remains unexposed at about 3m and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Unable to justify strong market support when only third on his two starts this spring (2m7f/3m1f) and now 0-10 over hurdles; needs to find something extra here.

Unable to justify good market support when only third of five at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March, after a break, but that was still a pretty good effort and he remains unexposed over stayings trip; major player in this lower-grade race.

Form & Verdict
Very lightly raced since his Irish point win in 2021 and has struggled in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m4f-2m5f) this season; moves up in trip for handicap debut; significant improvement required.

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Looked promising in bumpers in the autumn (including on good ground) and has made the frame on both hurdling starts, more recently when very close second at Lingfield (2m3f, heavy) last month; may not be straightforward but she moves into handicaps with potential and her pedigree offers significant hope that this new trip will suit.
