Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat; has shown a tendency to race too freely over hurdles this year but won with considerable amount in hand on last month's handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) and could still be very well treated after a 7lb rise.

J: Ben Jones

T: Emma Lavelle

C&D winner (Class 4; from 22lb lower) last October; won well at Plumpton (2m; from 13lb lower) in April and posted a career best in a C&D Class 2 in July, run down only late on (not fluent at the last two); the task is even tougher from 4lb higher; certainly isn't discounted though.

Best on good ground as he showed when running away with the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton in April; however, that came at a cost to the tune of 10lb and he failed to fire behind Moon Chime in the Swinton; others might be better in here.

J: Jonathan Burke

4-6 on good ground over hurdles, notching another personal best when returning from a break to win readily at Plumpton (2m; 15-2) last month; a 10lb rise demands further improvement but he's thriving and should encounter suitable conditions again.

Form & Verdict
Flat winner in France in 2023 and came good over hurdles for Dan Skelton at third attempt, with driven-out success in five-runner Haydock maiden (1m7f, good; refitted hood/first-time tongue-tie) last month; ideally needs to learn to settle better but should have more improvement to come in handicaps.

Ex-French 1m3f Flat scorer; a fair 2m winning hurdler for her current yard in 2025 but she was tailed off in 2m Ludlow handicap hurdle last month; needs to take a big step forward on her first Flat run since 2023.

Skelton mare who had excuses (faced stiff task, bled from nose) in notable handicap returned to favoured good ground last time; quite progressive last spring to autumn and looks interesting off a workable mark back down in class.

J: Tristan Durrell

All three hurdle wins have been on good ground so drying conditions are a positive, and she has had to deal with soft surfaces the last twice; however, this is by some way the strongest hurdle race she's contested to date.

4 yo Gelding

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Showed promise in bumpers and against own age-group over hurdles last season, most recently when second in small field at Cheptstow (2m, good) one month ago; probaby needs to improve to make a winning handicap debut here but has the potential.

Not entirely straightforward, but he did bounce back from a below-par effort (upped to 2m4f here) when going close at Bangor last time (2m1f, good) despite late hanging; 1-10 over hurdles and vulnerable to less exposed rivals, unless the cheekpieces can elicit a little more from him.

A fair 2m winner last season; back to his best with third of six in 2m Stratford handicap in June before a non-staying fifth in 2m4f handicap at Uttoxeter last time; not out of things back in trip.
