OR:

Form & Verdict
Modest 2-31 strike-rate under rules but didn't run badly last spring on final two starts for Eugene O'Sullivan and he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that sort of form on stable debut; bought for £21,000 last May.

Long in the tooth now but won here (3m2f, soft; refitted cheekpieces) in the autumn and was placed over C&D (good to soft) on last two appearances, more recently when keeping on to snatch modest second in higher-grade company; ought to make his presence felt again.

Veteran C&D winner who arrives in good nick, third of 14 over C&D last month; he can go well again off an unchanged mark.

J: Brian Hughes

Inconsistent 12yo who was well beaten at Kelso last time; however, two visits to Carlisle have yielded two wins (3m/3m2f, good/soft), the latest in November; firmly in calculations now back here.

8 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-12 under rules when pulled up in hunter chase at Hexham last May, when last seen; however, he won two points last March (3m, good to soft) and was runner-up in a hunter chase over this C&D (good) the following month; has run well in a point on soft; key player if back on song.

Talented earlier in career but struggled on his last few rules starts in 2022 and pulled up in a point-to-point last month, following a year off; major turnaround required.

Talented in his heyday but it's a good while since he showed any worthwhile form; pulled up when 150-1 for Wincanton hunter chase won by Espoir De Guye in February; can't be recommended here.

Form & Verdict
Useful hurdler in his prime and he also won over fences; however, he lost his form under rules in 2022 and was pulled up in a point-to-point last February; absent since and returns with plenty to prove.

Managed to win a point in March but this regressive 9yo achieved nothing when 80-1 for this month's rules return at Ayr (2m4f, good) and remains difficult to enthuse over.
