Hopeful Joy

9st 7lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Mark Walford

Low-mileage 4yo; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good fifth of nine over C&D in July; also placed twice here last summer so can't be ruled out in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Pfingstberg

J: Ethan Tindall

In a fine run of form for David Simcock during 2024, over 1m6f/2m on the AW and fast ground; effective on soft as well but has a long absence to overcome.

Punxsutawney Phil

J: Rhys Elliott

A six-time winner but a 9yo now and has been absent since finishing second over hurdles in March 2025; probably best watched.
