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.

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.

Very progressive in completing a good-ground hat-trick last year and when third to Tutti Quanti in a Class 1 handicap at Newbury in November (soft); still on a competitive mark despite all that and for whatever reason he didn't show his true form at Kempton on final sighting at Christmas; if forgiven that, and he's had a break, then he enters the picture.

Pretty useful in 2024 on Flat; won on good ground at Huntingdon, Warwick and Market Rasen (2m1f) in all three of his handicap hurdles, with mistakes at the last two flights on latest outing but he'd travelled much the best and won by nearly 2l; up another 6lb and in class but he keeps looking as if he has more up his sleeve.

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.

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.

Made short work of opposition at Warwick (2m novice, good; 4-11) in September but has turned in two stinkers - ran freely at Kempton, always behind at Ludlow - since after an absence; handicap mark is easing; drying ground is a positive.

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.

Low-mileage 5yo who returned from layoff with clear win at Warwick (2m, good) in November; absent since last-flight fall at Newbury in January but has possibilities if fully tuned up after latest break.

Won at Warwick (2m, good) in November on second handicap start, following a break; 2l third of six at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) since; further improvement is possible from this 5yo but it's necessary today.

Probably only third best on merit when close second to Mad Maxios in four-runner junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, good) in April and was remote when last of three in C&D handicap the following month; back from a break.
