9 yo Gelding

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
His reduced mark appeals on last season's form and this drop back in trip is a positive; however, having failed to shine on his two runs this autumn he's now 0-14 over fences, and his jumping can lack fluency.

Form & Verdict
Has raced just three times since winning a novice hurdle on his rules debut at Kelso (2m2f, good) in April 2021, and he's failed to reproduce that form since; down the field on last month's chase debut at Kelso, after a year off, but he's in good hands and could get back on track at some point.

Hello Judge

T: Ann Hamilton

Carlisle specialist; sits close to a career-high mark following a gritty win there (2m, good to soft) in February; "never travelling and jumped poorly" in the Monet's Garden Series Final there three weeks ago; bit to prove for the time being, even acknowledging a 2024 C&D win.

Won here (2m4f, good) in October and followed up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft); below par at Newcastle and Wetherby since and arrives with something to prove, but he's back on his last winning mark and ten visits to Carlisle have yielded five wins (various ground); not ruled out now back here.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French 6yo who failed to threaten last winter on his first two British starts; however, he returns to action having had wind surgery, and with his trainer in good form, and it will be no surprise if things now click again for this three-time French winner; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Back to form with some respectable efforts this spring but his second at Kempton (2m4f, good) was in a match and he was well held when third here last time; record for current yard is now 0-7 and he looks vulnerable again back up in trip.

Very lightly raced point runner-up who made it 2-3 under rules when winning on his chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, soft) three weeks ago; won on good to soft over hurdles, and also ran well over 2m6f here, and he's open to further improvement now back up in trip; could still be well treated up 5lb.
