11st 7lb

J: Liam Harrison

Landed the Swinton at Haydock in 2023 and ran creditably in major summer handicap at Market Rasen (2m, good) four months ago; useful but remains on career-high mark and several of these rivals look better treated.

T: Kerry Lee

Last year's Swinton winner (off 6lb lower) who bumped into a well-treated rival when second of 18 at Cheltenham next time, before finishing fourth to Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle; last season ended prematurely but there's a big run in him if back to best after a break.

J: Brendan Powell

T: Kerry Lee

One of two runners for this yard; progressive handicap hurdler at about 2m; won the Swinton at Haydock in May then ran well at Cheltenham two months ago, both on good ground; however, he has the worst chance at the weights in this higher grade and seems out of his depth.

In excellent form in the spring, winning on the New course here (2m1f, good) before collecting big prize at Haydock (1m7f, good); could quite plausibly have more improvement to come if fully tuned up after his break.
