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.

Absent for nearly two years after winning bumper debut in 2021 and has shown only minor promise in three novice hurdles this year (2m-2m4f) but improvement is possible on today's handicap debut; unraced on ground slower than good to soft.

Made quite promising start to chase career in spring but now reverts to hurdling after lesser effort last month; all recent form is over 3m but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and her current mark is workable.

Disappointed at Newbury in late November but that was his first blip in handicaps, having previously posted form figures of 1121122 (from 2m to 2m4f; unraced over further); has got himself high in the weights but if back on song he'd have each-way claims if staying the trip.

Crookbarrow

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces

0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use.

11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way.
