29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Veteran who returned from 640-day absence with a down-the-field run in February and has been absent for another seven months since; very well handicapped on old form and will be favoured by the forecast rain but is tricky to weigh up at present. |

Last season's best hurdle form included a 3m win on good ground but below that level so far this campaign; latest run was a tad more encouraging. |

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut. |

Lightly raced mare who made pretty good start to handicap career when third of ten at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) three weeks ago; should be okay on today's faster ground and may still have a bigger run in her; respected. |

First run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when fifth of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f,) 17 days ago; while that doesn't necessarily mark him down as a winner in waiting but he has dropped back to the mark he defied at Huntingdon in February. |

11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |

Four-time hurdle winner and his last success was at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in June; disappointing in final run for the Hobbs/White yard but he still looks feasibly treated on his best form and needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear. |

Four wins overall, all on good ground and both of those over hurdles were at Uttoxeter in July 2021, latterly in this race; last two runs have been in the same Plumpton handicap in May 12 months apart, finishing runner-up and fourth; case can be made but others bring more persuasive recent evidence. |
