Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note.

In good form over hurdles last spring, winning at Stratford and Hexham (both 2m, good to soft); he's only 2lb higher than for the second of those wins, and a recent run on the Flat after six months off should have blown away the cobwebs; impossible to discount in first-time tongue-strap.

Dual winner in bumpers and a four-time winner over hurdles; below his best over hurdles last time but he has shown promise in this sphere, including when third of seven in a Ffos Las novice (1m4f) last August, and is interesting on this Flat handicap debut.

8yo who has returned from an absence this season and has improved with each of his three chase starts, winning at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month; this is a tougher assignment but he did it readily last time and the step up in trip could be a positive move; he's one to consider.

Following an absence this very lightly raced point winner has shown promise at Ayr this year on his first two chase starts (2m/2m4f, heavy/soft) and a win may well be imminent.

Far from disgraced when last of five on last month's chase debut here (2m, heavy), when 33-1 and very much up against it at the weights on his first outing since October 2024; this 3m point winner showed promise in novice hurdles at up to 2m7f; interesting now back up in trip on handicap debut.
