Very respectable fifth in much stronger race than this at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last month and also ran well when second here (2m3f, good) in this grade last Tuesday; ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Well-beaten when back over hurdles last month but stayed on well from poor position to go close under Natasha Cookson at Kelso (2m5f, good) ten days ago and looks well worth a crack at 3m.

Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground.

Form & Verdict
Opened account over hurdles in run-of-the-mill Plumpton maiden (2m, soft) last month and might well have bettered that performance when staying-on third in recent Ludlow handicap (good); could have untapped potential over today's longer trip; respected.

Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles; shaped with some promise before weakening into fifth on recent stable debut at Warwick (3m1f, good) and may benefit from today's drop back in trip, but a couple of the others look safer.

0-6 over hurdles for Harry Fry; kept on for fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) in January but was sold for £11,000 after a laboured effort the following month and needs to up his game on today's stable debut; no cheekpieces this time.

Only had six runs but he's been beaten 27l and 13l in two handicaps; the latest (in this headgear) was on heavy ground and he didn't look particularly happy in the conditions, so might step up on that.

Still in with a chance to cause 150-1 shock when badly hampered at penultimate flight here (2m, good) in February but effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights today and returns here after two heavy defeats.

Gave pretty good account when keeping-on fifth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month but her only win from 40 career starts came in a very modest, three-runner novice hurdle in 2021; others preferred.

Still 4lb higher than when winning over 2m6f here (good to soft) last summer but did not run badly when seventh in competitive series final at Musselburgh last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; major player if stamina holds out (unraced beyond 2m7f).
