Form & Verdict
Improved markedly over hurdles last season, winning four on the trot from 1m7f to 2m3f, three handicaps and a Grade 2 event at Haydock (tailed off the in Champion Hurdle on final start); had eight runs in points (won on final start) and the sort who should make a chaser, but no easy task at the weights after a break on debut over regulation fences.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Ann Hamilton

11yo who snapped a losing sequence at Carlisle (3m, good to soft) last month and it was a stronger race than this in which he was fourth of 11 at Haydock (2m4f, good) last Wednesday; every chance he'll be in the mix.

Tommys Oscar

11st 12lb

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Ann Hamilton

Veteran who made his name as a two-miler and the slow pace helped when making his first foray over 3m a successful one at Carlisle (good to soft; effective on good); solid second the run before over 2m4f but a 5lb rise for last time could be troublesome.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Ann Hamilton

Smart at around 2m in his prime and was creditable second off today's mark in valuable Musselburgh handicap (2m4f, good to soft) five weeks ago but has stamina to prove on first venture beyond about 2m4f under rules.

12st 0lb

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

10yo who returned from long absence with a pretty encouraging fourth in 0-135 at Haydock in December; he's well treated on his old form and could be in the mix now dropping into a 0-125; wins have come on good/good to soft.
