Groom De Cotte

11st 5lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Gary Brown

Won over fences 13 months ago but returned from layoff with lacklustre hurdle run in April and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; has usual tongue-tie refitted; seems versatile ground-wise.

Groom De Cotte

11st 12lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Gary Brown

Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last March and returned from break with pleasing fourth over hurdles there (3m1f, good to soft) in November; absent for another 131 days since but won't be far away if in similar form again.

1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims.

10st 12lb

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Lightly raced 5yo, absent 473 days before this season; showed some ability in 2024, so he's not totally ruled out over today's very new trip, despite being well held in his two runs (one on Flat) this year; tongue-tie (worn twice on Flat in Ireland at start of career) returns.

Off 16 months before coming in a never-dangerous sixth of nine in 2m Southwell handicap 13 days; this fair 2m hurdles winner can take a step forward now.

11st 0lb

J: James Davies

Record of only 1-11 in points and is far from solid on rules form (three attempts); however, may show the benefit of switching to handicap level off a modest mark.

1-11 in Irish points but his recent efforts have been uninspiring back from an absence and he changed hands for £2,000 in March; faces a tough task on stable/rules debut.

Just 1-17 over hurdles, the win gained at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last summer, but she made a satisfactory reappearance last month and her current mark is workable; considered each-way.

Opened account at Newton Abbot (2m6f, good) last July and runner-up in three of her four starts since, at up to 3m3f; on the premises on that evidence but the 163 days off ask a question.
