Multiple point winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) 16 days ago; should be suited by this step up in trip and should run well.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Nick Scholfield

Fair pointer with a 6-15 record (2m4f-3m, good to soft-good to firm: tongue-tied for five) for Bradley Gibbs; arrives on the back of a victory in a small-field mixed open when a short-priced favourite and looks the type to make an impact in this sphere; respected on hurdle/stable debut.

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and he's 2-2 over fences, at Southwell 40 days ago (about 3m1f) defying a 13lb rise and a 393-day absence with a narrow verdict; if he can back that up then a 3lb nudge shouldn't be beyond him.

Won over hurdles here in October 2024 and returned from seven-month break with wide-margin C&D (good) success on chasing debut last May; absent for another 13 months since and now 13lb higher but remains unexposed over fences and can evidently go well when fresh.

Four-time chase winner but badly out of sorts before finishing second to a surprise winner over C&D 16 days ago (visor returned); remains to be seen if he'll be as good again and he may need more anyway.

The last of four chase wins was in August 2024; she's building some momentum after a long absence having pushed Edgewell close over C&D a month ago; that was under a 10lb claimer but she has to be considered.

T: Mrs C Williams

Four-time chase winner (once over C&D); soundly beaten over hurdles in February, after a long absence, and didn't achieve much when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good) in April; reverts to chasing on a good mark but her current ability is hard to gauge.

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

J: Ben Godfrey

T: Kayley Woollacott

A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022.

Form & Verdict
Sole career success came in this race 12 months ago and a recent close fourth here behind Edgewell should have teed him up for his defence; nothing wrong with his mark for all that he's 1lb wrong.

Has modest 1-29 strike-rate under rules but the win was gained over C&D (last summer) and last month's reappearance run was much more encouraging than his eventual 78l defeat suggests; each-way claims at least.

Verdict

The withdrawal of initial selection Edgewell promotes HONEY I’M GOOD, who beat all bar that rival over C&D last time, to first choice. Last year’s winner Testflight shouldn’t be far away and Premier Fantasy isn’t ruled out.[Alistair Jones]
