10st 12lb

J: Nick Slatter

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Low-grade AW winner; did not achieve huge amount when well-held second of seven behind short-odds favourite at Hereford (2m, good) a fortnight ago, his second hurdle run, but might collect another minor prize here.

10st 12lb

J: Nick Slatter

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Has shown most of his Flat form on AW, winning once; never landed a blow over C&D switched to hurdles last time but this looks a weaker race.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

1m2f winner 14 months ago; has always operated at a modest level and likely best watched on this hurdle debut.

9st 7lb

J: Jack Dace

T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson

Makes his debut for his fourth different stable (same owners) on his 11th outing, having been off since finishing lame at Chelmsford last August; has both his stamina and wellbeing to prove.

9st 5lb

J: Mason Paetel

T: James Owen

Consistent AW form (212323) since handicapping, most recently close third to Night Tara over C&D on debut for new yard; solid contender who holds a fighting chance with Mason Paetel taking off useful 3lb.
