Form & Verdict
Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run.

Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant.

Yet to make any significant progress since winning hurdle debut in autumn 2024 but still has fairly low mileage and gave good account when keeping-on third in first-time tongue-tie at Chepstow (2m7f, soft; first run after wind op) last month; should be okay over this shorter trip; each-way claims.

Form & Verdict
Seemingly transformed by a wind op when winning three times in a row under Chad Bament in February/March (2m-2m5f, good-soft); up 11lb on his return but something has really clicked and he's open to more progress this season; key player.

Four wins in 2025 and now only 2lb higher than for the last of those at Chepstow in December (2m7f, good to soft); however, he was a 33-1 chance last month at Uttoxeter and he ran like one.

J: Chad Bament

T: Jeremy Scott

Registered a hat-trick last February/March and scored over C&D this Christmas to enhance record under his now regular rider Chad Bament; the Lanzarote at Kempton proved too hot for him on latest start (he was running respectably when falling at the last) but he's an each-way contender.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark over hurdles when trouncing two rivals in a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good to firm) in March; this is much tougher off this opening mark but he's very lightly raced and is brother to a smart jumper Springwell Bay; respected on return.

Gained his Exeter success last spring in a weak maiden; has regressed in two handicaps this season; however, still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent.
