J: Richie McLernon

Landed bumper around here last October but has cut little ice in his two starts over hurdles; this looks easier but he needs to start producing.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Warwick bumper winner on good ground and was then best of the rest behind a runaway winner when penalised at Ascot; 5-1 for hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f) and reportedly bled from the nose after pulling up; retains potential but this is no easy race in which to bounce back.

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.

J: David Bass

T: Charlie Longsdon

Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance.

Won off 10lb higher at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last May but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 10l back on the Flat (1m6f) two weeks ago; has lots to prove and this is his first run beyond 2m5f.

Traveling Soldier

10st 9lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost.

Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.
