OR:

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in both his Irish points; sold for 80,000euros last May and had wind surgery in September; tongue tied when the clear outsider in C&D maiden (good) five weeks ago and he showed significant ability and promise despite tiring into last of three; should be a leading contender.

J: Jonjo O’Neill Jr

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Low-mileage 6yo who unseated rider on chase/handicap debut in January but has made the frame on all three starts since; form of last month's Wetherby second (1m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) has recently been franked by the winner, and this fellow ought to be suited by this move back up in trip; contender.

Low-mileage maiden who has broadly consistent form figures; clear second at Stratford (2m1f) most recently; possibilities dropped further in distance, provided he takes well to added cheekpieces.

J: Jonjo O’Neill Jr

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Runner-up in two Irish points in 2024 and yet to get his head in front under rules; shaped better when dropped in trip and third of five finishers on his second start over fences at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last month but it remains to be seen if this even shorter trip is the answer.

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Point and bumper winner who's finished fourth on all three starts over hurdles, on latest holding every chance at the final flight when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); from a staying family but marked improvement is needed on this first run since November.

Point/bumper winner who showed improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Taunton (3m, good) last month on his sixth attempt; creditable second over the same C&D subsequently and holds place claims at least while in this mood.

Came good as a hurdler (sixth attempt) when asserting by 5l in a five-runner and four-finisher novice handicap over C&D (good) 13 days ago, having breezed into the lead before two out under Charlie Maggs; hot favourite Noble Blue unseated early in that race; up 6lb but probably has a good chance.

OR: 111

Form & Verdict
Absent for 692 days after a winning point debut in 2023; ran twice over an extended 2m3f (soft) over hurdles this February, making most when second here last time and he stuck to his task very well; this longer trip may well suit and he brings potential, as well as some of the best form.

Form & Verdict
Won an Irish point last February before his £175,000 sale; second at Leicester (good to soft) in November and fourth of nine at Ffos Las (heavy) in December, both over about 2m4f, and he'll probably stay 3m; a tongue-tie is added and he can still improve, which is needed.

Given wind surgery before handicapping on last three starts, on last two winning at Ascot (2m7f) in December and Doncaster (3m, again good to soft; from I Am Max) three weeks ago; the latter was by 7l from the front, since which he's been handed an 8lb rise but this 7yo retains potential.
