Tiny Tetley

12st 2lb

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Won four times over hurdles last season (2m7f-3m) but chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn and he was soundly beaten when back over hurdles on Boxing Day; needs to get career back on track.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

In excellent form in the spring, completing hat-trick with ready success in series final at Haydock (3m) in April before going very close in another competitive handicap over that C&D (also on good) in May; obvious contender if in similar nick after 168-day break.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Ended last season in excellent form, completing a hat-trick with a ready C&D success (good; Thank You Ma'am second) in a quite valuable series final three weeks ago; last two wins were under today's claiming rider Callum Pritchard; probably still on the upgrade; good chance.

7 yo Mare

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Back from a break and her yard has won two of the last four renewals; has been chasing this season, making all to beat two rivals off 1lb lower at Exeter in November (3m, good); has won twice as a hurdler and should hold every chance.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 128

Form & Verdict
Four wins under rules divided between fences and hurdles (on good and soft); kept to hurdles this campaign and ran two fair races before struggling in the Imperial Cup; this is easier than that.

Won over hurdles last November and then did well returned to fences until a poor final run; feasibly treated if on his game after a lengthy break.

11st 10lb

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Jamie Snowden

Won over hurdles in November and has done well on his belated return to fences, following a near-miss at Carlisle with a creditable third at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February; still looks feasibly treated and he was a dual chase winner (2m/2m4f) in his youth; dangerous back up in trip.
