11st 2lb

J: Brendan Powell

T: Kayley Woollacott

Prolific pointer (7-8 strike-rate) who won twice under rules last season, latterly on chase debut at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) in March; not favoured by these weights and has fitness to prove after seven-month break but should be fine on the faster ground.

Only 1-10 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m5f at Newton Abbot in October (good to soft; 7lb lower); two further good runs afterwards before finishing tailed off the last time; a record of 7-8 in points bodes well for this switch to fences.

J: Mr Joshua Newman

T: Kayley Woollacott

Multiple point winner who scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) on rules return in October and was placed on both subsequent outings (2m5f/3m); this drop back in trip may not be ideal but he ought to go well again.

Not seen under rules since pulled up in 3m Wexford handicap hurdle in May 2024 but won seven consecutive points from December to May and it will be interesting to see how he fares here.
