Form & Verdict
Plenty of Flat/hurdle wins, mostly in Jersey; made a belated chase debut here 12 days ago (2m3f) but took to it pretty well and stayed on for fourth (beaten under 10l); unraced over this far but it's worth a go.

J: David Probert

T: Neil Mulholland

Veteran whose two 2025 wins were at this track over 1m6f and 1m5f; placed twice over hurdles last November but last week's run in that sphere (after a Flat reappearance here) was disappointing and dents his appeal.

In good form without winning (runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton) before Christmas and should be sharper for a recent fifth on the Flat at Bath; this veteran needs considering.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Neil Mulholland

Has done a lot of his winning in Jersey but he scored here (1m5f, firm) in the autumn and was runner-up over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f) in his final run in 2025; returns after 141 days off but he needs watching in market back on the Flat.

Form & Verdict
His second of seven at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in January represented a return to form but that would appear a false dawn, having struggled since; bit to prove now sent chasing, especially after a break.

Was running quite well over fences until last time when pulled up; has a higher hurdle mark despite being a maiden in this discipline but if back on song he should be competitive in this bad a race.

Probably fortunate to win off today's mark over C&D (good to soft; leader fell at final fence) in October, but that was still a good effort and his next two runs were respectable; contender if tuned up after 97-day break.

Pulled up on consecutive outings at start of this year but looked in much better nick when second at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; should benefit from today's drop back in trip; must be considered.

Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed.
