Bleu Denfer

11st 13lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Has modest 2-31 strike-rate under rules but came second over 2m4f on two of his first three starts after a wind op in March, and looked stretched by 3m when below that form last month; versatile regarding ground and enters calculations.

Faithful Guardian

10st 13lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Raced only on good ground; placed in two of his three bumpers but launched hurdling career with two underwhelming runs, latterly when well-held third in modest Worcester maiden (2m) last month; improvement required.

Zamond

12st 0lb

J: Harry Brown

T: Donald McCain

Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D, the latter on good ground last month; 6lb higher today but has 10lb claimer enlisted, and can cope with some rain; ought to make his presence felt again.

11st 12lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner for Don Cantillon; fair third at Hereford (2m maiden; 15-2) in April, but has struggled to replicate that since, beaten 15l (seventh of 11) at Uttoxeter five weeks ago; competes from easing mark in added cheekpieces.

10st 5lb

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Donald McCain

Two good 3m runs at Uttoxeter this summer, winning on first occasion (good) and finishing second of 14 last time (good; first run after wind op); should go well if as effective here.

3/1
