11st 10lb

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Mark Walford

Runner-up in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on penultimate start, and reportedly "failed to stay" when flopping at Doncaster (1m6f) a fortnight ago; yet to win over jumps (0-18) and, while this task isn't impossible, others make more appeal.

9st 12lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Mark Walford

Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.

Expert Analysis

11st 10lb

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Jennie Candlish

Ex-Irish; limited on the Flat (0-9; peak RPR 69), and yet to convince over hurdles (0-5; pulled up at Ballinrobe in May); difficult to know what to expect on first start for this trainer following 6,000gns purchase.

Maiden (0-10); much better lately, giving a well-backed Skelton runner plenty to think about at Uttoxeter (2m, good); raised 4lb since but a reproduction of that effort could prove good enough.

Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked.
