Going the right way and her 6l second over C&D (good) on reappearance was a personal best; however, she faces a stronger calibre of opposition here and will require more improvement off an unchanged mark.

Resurgent for new yard this summer and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel (2m1f, good); likely to continue the good work and have a say.

Form & Verdict
1m6f Flat winner in France last autumn; highly tried in his first campaign over hurdles; has begun this season well, edged out by Boombawn in Listed race at Kempton (2m, good) before scooting up in a novice at Fontwell (2m1f, soft) three weeks later; may take another step forward and ought to make his presence felt in his first handicap.

Can be difficult to settle and he was reluctant to line up at Kempton (2m4f, good) four weeks ago, but that didn't stop him winning; had just a neck to spare but the first two were clear and this 8yo is now 4-10 over fences; further progress is possible and he's not ruled out up just 3lb.

Form & Verdict
1m2f winner in France in 2021; made a promising start to his hurdling career last season, following two placed efforts at Cheltenham (good/good to soft) with a convincing success in the mud at Fontwell on Boxing Day; not seen out since but, like his stablemate Teddy Blue, he switches to handicaps with untapped potential.

Form & Verdict
Steadily progressive 6yo with three wins from his last four outings, most recently making most of the running to score narrowly at Wetherby (2m, good) four weeks ago; a 4lb rise is fair but he's up significantly in grade and will need to raise his game again.

21 months since his last win, an authoritative one in the Perth Silver Cup (2m4f, good to firm; from 5lb higher); beaten 26l, 16l and 14l respectively in three runs since April 2025; good ground is ideal, so probably worth considering with his trainer in such fine form.

Reliable type, never out of the first three, and his reappearance Listed win at Kempton was his third over hurdles; ran well when second of six at Huntingdon (2m, good) 18 days ago but he was readily put in his place by a Henderson-trained improver and he meets several other unexposed sorts here.

T: Dan Skelton

First run over the National fences; inconsistent this season and no match for stablemate Madara (who remains Harry Skelton's mount) when ninth of 23 in the Plate at Cheltenham last month; however, Aintree brought out the best in him last year and he's well handicapped on that form; one to consider.

Has hurdle form at Cheltenham over a similar trip to today's but he races mostly on sharp tracks, albeit with soft ground against him in January when well back in his sole chase start here; never showed with a chance when upped to 3m at Kempton recently and he's no strong option to improve a 2-15 strike-rate over fences; yard runs two others with better claims.

Only 2-14 as a chaser but has been highly tried on occasions, as when not far away in a 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree last April; another good run in a Grade 2 here last month (RPR right up there with his best) and soft ground was no good to him back in a handicap at Cheltenham; patient tactics are likely now sent further and could be interesting with Harry Atkins claiming 7lb, provided conditions don't soften.

Form & Verdict
Had a very solid first season over hurdles, winning three times and going close in the Betfair Hurdle over C&D and the County Hurdle at Cheltenham, both on good to soft ground; has to be respected on his reappearance for a stable that has won two of the last three Gerry Feildens, although he'll need a career best conceding plenty of weight all round.

Likeable mare with a progressive profile, her only defeat so far coming in the mares' novice on this card 12 months ago; ran her best race when scoring under Nathan Brennan at Kelso (2m, good) in March and she easily landed the odds in a Listed race at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) the following month; may not have reached her limit just yet, and she's high on the list.

Won here in April 2022 and creditable sixth of nine when 50-1 in the Grade 1 Mares' Hurdle here (2m4f, soft) this March; not disgraced on Ascot reappearance, despite being only third of five as favourite, but might not be well enough handicapped to win this.

Form & Verdict
Hard to weigh up accurately after just four runs, but he was impressive in getting off the mark in a Chepstow novice (2m, good to soft) last month and Harry Skelton has chosen him over the more experienced Boombawn; unexposed as he moves into handicaps and is one to take seriously.
