12st 1lb

J: William Maggs

T: Sandy Thomson

Last of his six wins over hurdles was off a 25lb higher mark at Musselburgh in January 2024 (2m4f, soft); mainly disappointing since then, including when tried over fences; best watched for now.

10st 12lb

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Sandy Thomson

One-time very useful handicapper; nothing like as good these days and has finished last on last two starts, latest a four-runner C&D handicap last month; very well handicapped (dropped a further 4lb for his run last time so now 22lb below last winning mark); plenty to prove at present.

J: Lewis Dobb

T: Sandy Thomson

One-time useful hurdler; last win was off a mark 18lb higher at Musselburgh in January 2024 (2m4f, soft); in-and-out form over hurdles and fences since, poor effort over fences here on his latest start when 30l last of six in a novice handicap chase (2m4f, good to soft; second run after wind op); better effort when 14l sixth of ten over hurdles at Ayr on previous start (2m5f, good to soft) and has a chance judged on that run.
