J: Toby Wynne

T: Mel Rowley

Low-mileage maiden who's been second or third in handicaps on all three chase outings, absent 590 days after first of those; rallied strongly when third of seven at Leicester (2m7f, soft) one month ago, which suggests that this step back up in trip is very much in order; one to consider.

Low-mileage maiden who ran well on chase debut in June 2024 (penultimate start) and may be capable of progress with Hereford reappearance under his belt; one to consider.

J: Shane Quinlan

T: Mel Rowley

Second of 14 on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) in June 2024 then absent until third to Ithaka at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) last month; 3lb out of the handicap today but this very lightly raced 8yo retains potential and is not ruled out; has shown promise on soft/heavy ground.

Safely held when making the frame in two handicap hurdles this spring (2m7f/3m) and now 0-5 in that sphere; improvement is possible but needed on today's chasing debut.

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Mel Rowley

Showed some ability when third in a Leicester novice hurdle (2m4f, heavy) in January; had wind surgery after being well beaten on handicap debut next time; weakened to be 21l third at Wetherby (3m, soft) since then; still early days but does have a bit to prove.
