Form & Verdict
Reeled off four straight hurdle wins last summer before losing his way; minor form when qualifying for a mark on the Flat since but he's proved well ahead of it since handicapping with cheekpieces refitted, winning by 6l at Thirsk (1m4f) and Lingfield (1m6f; both good to firm); 3lb well in under big penalty; major claims.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: James Owen

Reeled off four straight hurdle wins last summer before losing his way; switched to the Flat this summer and he's now 3-3 in Flat handicaps, having won on good to firm at Thirsk (1m4f), Lingfield (1m6f) and Nottingham (1m6f) in the space of a week last month; the last of those wins was much more hard fought, by a neck, and he's another 3lb higher today but 2m+ is plausible and he might yet do better still.

J: Robert Havlin

T: James Owen

Won four times over hurdles between July and September last year; lost his way in that sphere and struggled this summer in his first three Flat runs (1m2f-1m6f) but he should have a future in Flat handicaps, as he showed when winning well in a small field at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on Friday; hard to beat under a penalty if in the same form.

Form & Verdict
Turf wins at 1m6f (good to soft) and 2m (good); quite well treated now and his AW reappearance was encouraging but he didn't fare so well back on turf in June and it's two years since he was risked on good to firm ground.

T: Hughie Morrison

Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider.

Both wins on turf have been at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m; good to soft/good); now 2lb lower than that latest success and returned from a break with a solid effort at Southwell (2m, AW) 34 days ago; claims.

Form & Verdict
Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive.

J: Jack Callan

T: Ian Williams

Has registered four wins, the last two over 2m on turf (good/good to firm) last summer; has generally struggled this season but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway at Ffos Las last time; was beaten only about 3l in that race and has possibilities if he can build on that; visor is removed and blinkers return.

Not as good this year and has looked to have no excuses in some ordinary handicaps of late; only 1lb lower than when well held over 1m6f here 12 days ago and Free World looks his trainer's best chance.

Form & Verdict

2-13 over hurdles; placed off mark 1lb higher than today's on consecutive appearances in June (2m, good/good to firm) but was below that form on latest hurdling start and has since performed poorly on the Flat; recently given a wind op; needs to get back in the groove.

Not one to rely upon that heavily but scored off today's mark at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March and creditable third of 14 at Stratford (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; features prominently in calculations.
