Captain Butler

10st 13lb

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Ruth Jefferson

Runner-up here (2m4f, soft) in November and suited by the step back up in trip when fourth of 14 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago, beaten just over 2l; that form looks solid; could again be thereabouts.

11st 8lb

J: Callum Bewley

T: Ruth Jefferson

Course maiden hurdle winner who was a promising second on handicap debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November; not beaten far in fifth when back over hurdles at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) in January and the step back up in trip could be a positive move; possible player.

11st 8lb

J: Craig Nichol

T: Ruth Jefferson

Promising second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November on stable and seasonal debut; held back by his jumping on first two chase starts and close fifth when returned to hurdling at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft); there's a suspicion he has a bigger run in him and the step back up in trip may help.

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Ruth Jefferson

Point, bumper (2m1f, good) and maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) winner who was a promising second on handicap/stable debut at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in November; held back by his jumping on his first two chase starts and could have a big part to play now back over hurdles.

Captain Butler

12st 0lb

J: Jamie Hamilton

T: Ruth Jefferson

Won a Newcastle bumper and a Kelso maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) for former trainer Pauline Robson; found the opposition too strong when fifth (beaten over 17l) in the Grade 2 Premier Hurdle back at Kelso in March; makes handicap and stable debut at a suitable level.
