J: Brian Hughes

Won at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) last November and ended last season with three good runs there (3m, good to soft/good); resumes on a good mark but has fitness to prove and this veteran might be of greater interest when back at Carlisle and on ground slower than good.

Long in the tooth now but won here (3m2f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in the autumn and was placed over C&D (good to soft) on last two appearances, more recently when keeping on to snatch modest second in higher-grade company; ought to make his presence felt again.

Justified favouritism over 2m5f on this card last year (good to soft), and added a Catterick stayers' event in the winter, both off 4lb lower; all wins on good to soft and soft but last month's Sedgefield second on good was the equal of his peak soft-ground form; chance.

Point, bumper and dual chase winner at up to 3m1f, all on slow ground; below par at Kelso latest (2m5f, good to soft); on a competitive mark if bouncing back but will need to produce better than he has previously done on good going.

Not wholly convincing as a chaser over the past year, even in victory at Kelso (2m7f, good); backed out of things some way out returned to hurdles at Cartmel latest, and others convince more just now.

Wide-margin chase winner at Kelso (2m7f, good) in May, but pulled up after jumping poorly on next outing and now back hurdling; has something to prove but was placed off today's mark here (2m6f, soft) last summer.

Best hurdle run was when second in first-time cheekpieces (not on here) in a novice handicap at Newcastle in January (2m4f, heavy); well beaten either side of that; makes chase debut after 225-day break.

Fifth career win when leading late on at Kelso (2m5f, good to firm) and that was only his second run in blinkers; has no penalty.

J: Charlie Maggs

All four wins (2m4f-3m) came in the spring of 2025; this 9yo's form has deteriorated but he's dropped down the weights and finished second of five at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained); major player if backing up that latest performance.

10st 11lb

J: Jonathon Bewley

T: George Bewley

Ran a big race from the front when close fourth at Cartmel (3m1f, good) in July and is also suited by this C&D, but he has often looked unenthusiastic over the last couple of years and it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood today.

Dual C&D winner (including this race in 2024); good third to Halfway House over C&D in May, after a break, but pulled up after looking reluctant (not for the first time) at Hexham last month and comes with risk.
