Got his fifth hurdles win when beating subsequent Galway festival winner Winning Smut at Killarney in July (2m7f, yielding to soft); beaten 25l apiece in his two chase starts; makes handicap chase debut and chance on his best hurdles form but hasn't shown that yet over fences. |

His only win (17 races) came in April 2023 at Windsor; can race freely and makes his first start in seven months; has raced on AW only twice and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for the first time; difficult to gauge but any market move should be noted. |

10st 7lb |
0-7 on the Flat and 0-5 as a jumper; ran okay when first-time visored in a selling handicap two runs ago but then finished tailed off at Worcester; worth a go in blinkers as when tried once before he was under 5l away on the Flat. |

Maiden; well held when third at Cartmel on handicap debut five weeks ago (in a visor, retained); that was a seller but it still represented a step forward; could be involved. |

Showed no more than minor promise in three juvenile hurdles during the winter but ran okay on the Flat this month (first-time cheekpieces) and now makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark; tried in a visor this time; no surprise if he features. |

Maiden who's yet to get involved in a finish and is being tried in first-time cheekpieces today (often hooded last year); isn't obviously fancied coming back down in trip. |

1m2f winner on turf last June; form has steadily deteriorated since and she finished about 9l behind Villalobos at Lingfield most recently (wore blinkers, now goes in eyeshield); revival needed. |

Opened her account at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June and in good form until coming in only seventh at Chelmsford in October; she's the sort to bounce back after her break. |
