J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins to his name, latest off 2lb higher in July last year; solid front-running third at Bangor (2m4f, good) 17 days ago after a break and he holds leading claims.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins on his CV; long in the tooth now but returned from break with two respectable runs this spring and has edged his way back down to a good mark; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front.

Longstone Cowboy

10st 2lb

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Hugh Burns

9yo who has been lightly raced since showing promise in novice hurdles in September 2022 but he returned to form with a close second at Hexham (2m4f, good) recently on his second start back from an absence and a repeat of that performance will put him firmly in the picture.

Longstone Cowboy

10st 8lb

J: Charlie Maggs

T: Hugh Burns

Runner-up in C&D maiden in September 2022; lightly raced and generally very disappointing since but was not disgraced at Perth last month, after a long absence, and is worth a glance in the betting.

J: Danny McMenamin

Promising in 2022 but lengthy absences are a feature in his profile and was tailed off in two handicaps last year.
