J: Aiden Brookes

Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code.

Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick.

Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on softer than good; 18-race maiden who has been reasonably consistent in defeat this year; another solid effort at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) latest; gets this trip; should be thereabouts if ground is okay.

Placed a few times at up to 1m6f this term but form dipped the last twice; has a poor strike-rate (1-31) and is likely set for minor honours even if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Not ruled out based on his run at Doncaster (14.5f) on penultimate start but slowly away when beating just one home at Lingfield latest (11.5f); acts on good to soft but well beaten all three runs on soft, including this April; not easy to be confident in him.

Winless since 2021 and he was tailed off when returned to the Flat (1m2f) on stable debut last month; mark continues to fall but he's not been competitive for some time and has plenty to prove on this big step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Ran once on soft last year, well beaten; back-to-back fast-ground winner at Nottingham (1m2f) and Leicester (1m4f) last month, the latter by just over than 3l; raced freely when well beaten from this 5lb higher mark at Windsor latest; big player if bouncing back.

Built upon pleasing stable debut when coming from off the pace for C&D (good) success under Leah Noreci in May; subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and she can make her presence felt again.

A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Ben Brookhouse; made a promising start for her new yard after eight months off when third of eight over 2m4f at Aintree eight days ago; she should strip sharper here and rates a player off the same mark.

Runner-up to Masked Dance in this race two years ago and her final two runs of last year were right up there with her best; could easily be a factor if in the same form for new stable after a break.
