Minhad

10st 1lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos

Record is 2-10; gelded prior to success at Thirsk and respectable effort at York this term, both over 1m4f; still on career-high mark but ran well in sole 1m6f attempt and may be capable of another good run.

Minhad

9st 8lb

J: Kyle McHugh

T: Ismail Mohammed

Ran poorly on final start last term but gelded soon afterwards and, with visor/blinkers dispensed with, he returned with a narrow win in 12-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month, gradually working his way to the front in final strides under 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer in what's only his second campaign.

J: Lilly Pinchin

T: James Owen

Runner-up (albeit no match for winner) off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May and didn't run badly on the Flat (1m6f) last month; could yet have a bigger effort in him over jumps but this drop back in trip may not be in his favour.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: James Owen

Three Flat wins in France in 2022 (1m1f-1m3f); two hurdle wins last year (one a walkover) and he didn't run badly when fourth of seven, beaten 2l, at Goodwood last month on his return to the Flat (2m, good; 5-2 joint favourite); Oisin Murphy booked; contender.

High Fibre

10st 7lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: James Owen

Useful Flat performer and also 2-15 as a hurdler (regularly placed); left Harry Fry for £15,000 and was a 6l third over 1m4f at York on last week's stable debut (no headgear); first-time visored now (effective in tongue-tie/cheekpieces).

J: Mason Paetel

Quite useful on the Flat at the start of his career; similar standard over hurdles for Harry Fry in more recent times; sold for £15,000 in July and joined a stable with excels with new recruits.

J: Donagh Murphy

T: Philip Kirby

No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last three runs including over 1m6f at York (good) two weeks ago; down the list.

J: Clifford Lee

T: Philip Kirby

No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023 but he's run with credit on plenty of occasions; that wasn't the case at Chester last time, however, and on balance he's opposable despite this career-low mark.
