Form & Verdict
Best efforts on good ground; bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles when readily accounting for an in-form rival at Southwell (2m4f, good) ten days ago and he escapes a penalty for that; has obvious claims.

J: Alan Doyle

T: Lizzie Quinlan

Won twice over 2m4f in 2023 for Olly Murphy but his career has been punctuated by lengthy absences since; shaped as though retaining ability when returning from a break in November 2024 and again in two subsequent starts after a second wind operation, but absent again since February 2025; makes stable debut and not ruled out if fully tuned up.

T: Olly Murphy

Won over C&D and at Perth (2m4f) on good ground in summer 2023, and returned from long absence with good third at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) in November (had wind op afterwards); there's a slight concern that today's conditions might be slower than he prefers but, nevertheless, he helps to give Olly Murphy a strong hand in this race.

Form & Verdict
Ran on successive days only recently, finishing an 8l third over C&D (good to soft) and then even closer at Hexham (2m, good); knows his way around here and another bold show can be expected.

Veteran who has gained four of his ten hurdle wins at this track and often builds up a big lead; needs to rebound from a disappointing effort here (2m4f) ten days ago but was in a consistent vein of form beforehand and is still on a workable mark.

Won off a reduced mark over C&D (soft) in April when in a new headgear combination (tongue-tie/hood) that was retained when he finished third off this 7lb higher mark the following month (good); just the tongue-tie worn this time but he has had wind surgery and this mark might yet be okay.

Made his breakthrough at the eighth attempt when scoring off a reduced mark over C&D (soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; 7lb higher here but he pulled clear with the runner-up last time and his confidence should be boosted after that success; respected.

Running well last September when winning a C&D handicap (soft) and finishing third over 3m on his return visit (good); record fresh reduces his appeal but he's hard to leave out of calculations.
