11st 5lb

J: Adam Wedge

T: D Donovan

Useful Flat performer when trained in France; has won three times over hurdles, last two for current yard (2m4f/2m1f, good); has gone up 9lb but is only 2lb higher than for last month's Fontwell win and the one to beat.

11st 13lb

J: Shane Fenelon

T: D Donovan

Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; well beaten on last month's handicap hurdle debut for John Butler but caused 33-1 surprise for new trainer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a week ago and will be hard to beat under 7lb penalty if in similar form again.

J: Brendan Powell

T: D Donovan

Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; unexposed as a hurdler, winning a 2m novice here for Robert Eddery in July 2024; subsequently off for 741 days and didn't recapture his form in two runs for John Butler; yard debut.

J: Sean Bowen

T: John Butler

Won Listed Flat race in France in 2023 and launched hurdling career with two promising Uttoxeter runs (both 2m, good) for Robert Eddery in summer 2024, the latter a comfortable win; well-beaten 50-1 shot on the Flat this month, after a long absence, but Sean Bowen is booked here; interesting.

9st 12lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: John Butler

Won a Listed race in France (1m4f, heavy) in April 2023, but not seen since successful over hurdles for Robert Eddery in July 2024; market should be revealing on his debut for another new yard (same owner) after such a long absence.
