Came from a long way off the pace to win Class 5 handicap over 2m here (good) last summer but safely held on all three subsequent outings; needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces today; 1lb wrong.

Triple hurdle winner, who ended last year with a second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) but she's been out of sorts in her two runs (pulled up/tailed off) this spring; new headgear is now tried and she needs a major revival back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form and landed a gamble when making virtually all at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago, his fourth start for Ryan Potter; may not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground but recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.

Four-time hurdle winner in 2021 and added a chase to her tally last year; not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring but will be suited by trip and ground; too well handicapped to rule out.

Scored at Haydock (2m5f) in March and largely in good nick since, though she beat only one in 2m4f Worcester handicap hurdle 33 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.

First-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning at Haydock (2m5f, good) in March; bumped into one when second last time but that still completed a subsequent run of double-figure defeats.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two bumpers in early 2022 and left inauspicious hurdling debut a long way behind when winning Market Rasen novice (2m4f, soft) in July; well beaten over 2m there since (reportedly unsuited by the good ground) but remains unexposed and has possibilities if there's rain about; tongue-tie fitted for today's handicap debut.

Had a good summer in chases at up to 3m1f; lost a shoe when tailed off at Chepstow but soon back on track when a close third at Wetherby (3m, good); perhaps high in the weights now but a thorough stamina test could suit.

Two wins this season (3m1f/2m7f, good) and again ran well when second at Warwick (3m, good to soft) two starts ago; tailed off at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) since but he lost a shoe and he could bounce back today.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful Flat stayer who opened hurdling account in Worcester maiden (2m, good; first-time hood) in June; safely held when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut there in August, though, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in Hereford bumper (good) in February and made quite promising hurdle debut when third at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in May; disappointing favourite on both subsequent outings (2m7f/2m2f) but it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage; handicap debut.

Two good runs behind subsequent winners at Hereford and Catterick (both 3m1f, good) in late 2025; always struggling over an inadequate 1m7f at Wincanton (no headgear; cheekpieces return) in April and perhaps fortunate to get dropped 2lb; fair chance of another win.

Suited by good or quicker ground; similar sort of form in his last four races in handicaps from 2m4f to 3m1f; this trip is on the tight side but he's in a weak race and might be ridden forcefully.
