11st 0lb

J: Miss Eleanor Williams

T: Mrs C Williams

Well handicapped on 2024 hurdle/chase form and shaped with a fair but more promise than eventual 40l defeat might suggest at Sedgefield (3m3f, good to soft) in February, after a long absence; ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here; interesting.

11st 3lb

J: Miss Eleanor Williams

T: Evan Williams

Well handicapped on her chase form in 2024; one to watch in the betting on this first run since that November but it's a hefty absence to defy and she's 0-8 over hurdles as opposed to 4-13 over fences.

J: Conor Ring

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams.

Form & Verdict
Signed off in Ireland with two point wins last spring and is 3-3 in points for new stable this year, doing it easily in small fields on each occasion; sports first-time cheekpieces for today's rules debut; seems versatile regarding ground; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Rallied to fend off Dower Caves in Howick maiden point last month and added to his tally in three-runner restricted at Lydstep (also good) on Saturday, but others in this line-up have stronger form.

Two wins from 12 starts in points but he's 0-12 under rules and was pulled up over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) last time; this 11yo is with another new yard now and looks opposable back over hurdles; change of headgear.

Maiden hurdler/chaser who wasn't disgraced on his yard debut (visored and tongue tied) when fifth of six in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase 15 days ago; this winning pointer may still do better.
