Form & Verdict
First win for a long time and over fences when it was never in much doubt here a month ago (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces); went up 8lb but Charlotte Jones announced her retirement straight after that race so 10lb claimer Leah Noreci now takes over; weighted to go well again and this longer trip won't trouble him.

Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added.

Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort.

11st 9lb

J: Ian Power

T: Jennie Candlish

Returned to form and completed quick hat-trick over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but quickly went off the boil towards end of last season (pulled up on two of last three appearances); competes off his lower chase mark here and might be allowed an uncontested lead but has a poor completion rate over fences; risky.

Form & Verdict
Ran some fair races in defeat over hurdles and a similar story in two runs over fences in races won by the improving Passengerontheship who runs earlier on this card; hood fitted for the penultimate run returns; might not be far away.

J: Ryan Mania

T: Dianne Sayer

Overall record of 0-12 but she's unexposed over fences and went clear some way out before fading into a 9l fourth here (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could make a bold bid on this drop back in trip; hood removed.

Maiden under rules (0-10), but she posted a series of consistent efforts over hurdles; tried to make all in an added hood over C&D (chase debut) latest, succumbing to the stronger finish of Passengerontheship; is 5lb better off with 7l too find; the task isn't impossible.

Placed in a 3m point at Loughanmore for Tom Dreaper last October; badly hampered and unseated rider on stable debut, but left toiling behind Passengerontheship (beaten 78l) over 2m4f here 18 days ago; tough to consider on that evidence.

Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked.

Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024.

Three of his four wins have been here, including in this race off 4lb lower last season; fair run when sixth here in May; disappointing when tailed off here on Friday (2m5f, good) but he twice bounced back last summer after two-day breaks.
