Little Ledgend

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

0-8 under rules, but placed in both bumpers and runner-up in his last two starts at around 2m3f over hurdles (soft/good to soft); shapes as though this stiffer test should suit (backed up by his pedigree) and much respected.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Creditable fourth in 0-130 grade on handicap debut at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when second at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) last month; still has potential; major player.

Got off the mark over hurdles when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July off 1lb lower; hasn't been placed since but dangerous to dismiss.

Estacas

11st 9lb

J: Luke Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Well handicapped on old form for David Bridgwater but he returned for new yard after a mammoth absence with a well-held eighth at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; shaped as though he needed that run but this looks a tough assignment against some improvers and he's probably best watched; cheekpieces (tried once in 2023) are reapplied.

Well handicapped on old form for David Bridgwater but absent since two disappointing runs in November 2023; considered only if lively in the betting before this stable debut; had wind op in 2024.

J: Joshua Thompson

T: Micky Hammond

Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level.

Didn't seem to stay 2m7f when below-par at Hexham last time, having run creditably on his two previous starts; could go well but on a long losing run.

Only win came in a Southwell novice handicap in May 2024 (2m4f, good); good run when second at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good); stamina to prove, but could be in the mix.

19-race maiden who has been absent since some underwhelming chase runs in the autumn (bled from nose on latest outing); not the most obvious answer on this return to hurdling.

Failed to win in 12 starts over hurdles; his chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) was respectable and was pulled up early at Perth when only 9-2; could feature with the cheekpieces back on (visored for last three races).
