J: Harry Reed

T: Nick Scholfield

Won twice for Paddy Butler in the spring of 2024 on soft; made an immediate impact when scoring for the first time since at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good to firm) last month on stable debut in returning cheekpieces (retained since); not disgraced when runner-up back there on Saturday and remains in decent form; claims.

Returned to form with a C&D win on last month's debut for Nick Scholfield, having a few of these in behind and scoring a shade cosily; remains well treated despite a 5lb rise and is the one to beat if backing up that effort.

Modest operator over hurdles and appears to be in at the deep end here; makes limited appeal.

Unseated early on his handicap debut at Tipperary when a 50-1 chance; others are far more likely winners of this.

T: Patrick J Flynn

Three-time hurdles winner with the latest coming over C&D in March last year (good to yielding) off 4lb higher; not too much encouragement to be taken from his two most recent hurdles runs on soft conditions but could do better back on summer ground.

Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern.

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset.
