Form & Verdict
Back in good form in refitted cheepieces this spring, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) before very respectable third at Hexham (2m7f, good); not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip or the switch back to blinkers but still considered.

Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble at Newton Abbot (good; cheekpieces added) last month and followed up there 21 days later off a 6lb higher mark; now up to a career-high mark off a further 5lb rise but remains unexposed as a stayer.

Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form.

J: Paul O’Brien

His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; cheekpieces return and has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage.

J: Mr Harvey James

T: Nicky Richards

Narrow winner of this 12 months ago when 10lb lower; has shown that he can deal with this high a mark and he goes well fresh, so a 75-day break after being below par last time is probably a good thing; respected.

Form & Verdict
Returned from six-month break with career-best performance in May, winning readily by 5l over C&D (good), and is now 5-13 over hurdles; recent 8b rise asks a question of her but she's evidently in very good nick.

Record of 4-12 over hurdles but she was vulnerable in her final three runs last year including over C&D (good); now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs to rediscover her spark after six months off.

4-10 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently there this month, after a break, but kept on steadily for a modest third and may still have scope for further progress.
