Form & Verdict
Useful Flat racer who delivered on earlier hurdling promise when winning easily at Chepstow (2m, good) in April; stopped quickly and was turned over at short odds at Aintree the following month (reportedly made a respiratory noise) but will be hard to beat if all is well here.

J: Jason Hart

T: Olly Murphy

A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises.

Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Hugo Palmer last year; having rejoined Olly Murphy, he continued the good work when second on 2m Wolverhampton reappearance three weeks ago, with reopposing pair Enemy and Brasil Power narrowly behind in third/fourth; likely to go well again.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful Flat racer who won modest Cartmel maiden (2m1f, soft; main market rival disappointed) in a canter on hurdling debut in July; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but it's very hard to gauge the limit of his hurdling ability.

Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Course bumper winner who bettered her inauspicious hurdling debut when clinging on gamely to win mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; has more on her plate against males here but is open to further progress and ought to give a good account under her penalty.

Winner of good-ground mares' handicaps at Hereford (2m4f) and Warwick (2m5f) the last twice; career-high mark and a first step into a Class 4 handicap demand more, but tactically versatile and confidence high.
