Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden; went close over C&D (good to firm; first-time hood) when on this mark in May but well beaten over 1m4f at Newbury (good) and 1m2f at Haydock (good to firm; first-time visor) since; unraced on softer than good; big revival needed.

Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level.

J: Miss Becky Smith

0-8 over hurdles but has posted some good performances this season, most recently runner-up at Market Rasen (2m, good) 18 days ago; also effective on soft ground; makes a lot more appeal than most of these.

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.

Chased home an improver at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) 11 days ago and races off the same mark, but a record of 1-32 makes him hard to warm to.

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.

6 yo Gelding

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.

Well handicapped on old form, but is just 2-40 and his performances since joining this yard don't make him of much interest.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.

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.

Below best in two Flat runs this year but returned to hurdling with close second at Worcester (2m4f, good); might have won that day with greater fluency and only 2lb higher; wouldn't want the ground to slow up.
