T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Point runner-up who also showed ability over hurdles; tailed off at 17-2 on last month's chase/handicap debut at Chepstow but that was his first run since last April and he may have needed it; wears first-time cheekpieces and the step up in trip could be a firm plus; interesting for in-form yard.

J: Kevin Brogan

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Very unexposed 7yo who came second in a soft-ground Irish point in 2023 and made the frame in three maiden hurdles (2m3f-2m4f) last season; makes chase/handicap debut after ten-month absence but good market support will make him of strong interest.

Runner-up four times over hurdles prior to getting off the mark in a tight finish here (3m, good; 13-8 favourite, added tongue-tie) last September; off since and set to make chasing debut but there's no reason why he shouldn't take to fences; merits respect.

Only 3lb higher than the mark he won off over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer and he's a dual point winner who should make a chaser; below par last time but after quite a break.

Dual point winner who came good under rules for Max Comley at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time visor) last summer; absent since a lesser effort the following month and goes without a visor here but still worth a glance in the betting on this stable debut.

Two good runs behind subsequent winners at Hereford and Catterick (both 3m1f, good) in late 2025; always struggling over an inadequate 1m7f at Wincanton (no headgear; cheekpieces return) in April and perhaps fortunate to get dropped 2lb; fair chance of another win.
