Demoiselle Kap

11st 1lb

J: Roisin Leech

T: Sophie Leech

Bagged a four-timer (around 2m) over hurdles/fences last winter; not at her best of late though and finished a remote second in 2m Hexham seller three weeks ago on her final run for Jennie Candlish; more needed in refitted cheekpieces for her new handler.

Four wins over hurdles and fences in 2025 (about 2m2f; ground ranging from good to soft); not in the same form since returning from a layoff in January, including in a Stratford seller in March, but this is easier and she's a viable option.

Walkin Out

11st 7lb

J: Miss Anna Johnston

T: L Jefford

Landed maiden hunter chase at Cartmel in May 2023 and a prolific winner in points with 12 wins in that sphere; beat two rivals in a point at Stafford Cross 13 days ago and she should go close.

Walkin Out

10st 11lb

J: Miss Anna Johnston

T: L Jefford

Cartmel maiden hunter winner two years ago at this trip, and largely irresistible in points since (has won last six, all under Anna Johnston); small bit to find with Captain Tommy on their March Ludlow clash, but in better heart than that one now and recent Cheltenham third was a tidy run.

Limerick Leader

11st 13lb

J: James Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers.

Jacks A Legend

11st 9lb

J: Miss Imogen Mathias

T: Tim Vaughan

Only seen twice since making all in a 2m4f open point under Imogen Mathias one year ago, and would have run the winner closer than around 3l at Newton Abbot latest (2m5f, good to soft) but for whacking two out; 1lb rise is very fair.

Vengeance

10st 2lb

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Jimmy Frost

0-12 over hurdles and, while there have been hints of encouragement off a sliding mark, he hasn't looked like capitalising and now faces a stiff task from out of the weights on chase debut.

Vengeance

T: Jimmy Frost

0-14 under rules; sliding in the weights in four starts for this trainer and those efforts suggest he'll need a further favour or two from the handicapper to break his duck.

Dannys Friend

11st 8lb

J: Nick Scholfield

T: Michael Scudamore

Fifth foal; closely related to 2m4f chase winner Thunder In Milan, half-brother to very useful chaser Kiltealy Briggs; dam unraced sister to Grand National winner Ballabriggs; likely to need longer trips to be seen to best effect and probably best watched on debut.

Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance.
