Country Mile

10st 10lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Useful novice hurdler in 2024; lacked fluency in his two chases last autumn and gave his short-odds backers a last-fence scare when making all in small field at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time hood/tongue-tie) a fortnight ago but he's the only one in this line-up to have run recently; will be a tough nut to crack if his stamina holds out over this new trip and he avoids serious errors.

11st 5lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Lightly raced bumper/hurdle winner who ran creditably (second of three) in this race last year on reappearance, then lost any chance with a bad mistake two out at Cheltenham later in October; absent since; leading player, assuming he responds well to fitting of tongue-tie and hood.

11st 4lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Point runner-up and bumper winner who won two novice hurdles last season (2m/2m1f, good to soft), including here, and also ran well on soft ground; beaten just under 4l by Alnilam when second of three on his recent chase and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but he's 5lb better off with the winner today and could improve for that latest run; firmly in calculations.
