Form & Verdict
Rewarded persistent Will Featherstone ride at Chepstow (2m, soft) a fortnight ago and is now 3-9 over hurdles but has become very inconsistent, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task here.

J: Isabelle Ryder

Proved well suited by the step back up to 3m1f and good ground when keeping on well to score at Ffos Las last month; faces a different question here off 5lb higher but likely to be thereabouts if reproducing the effort.

Inconsistent over the last 12 months or so, but second at Exeter in November showed that he stays 2m7f and his best effort since was on latest outing (a rallying third over 2m4f three weeks ago); much more to prove if the ground is not softer than good, but he has to be considered.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Pulled up on chasing debut in January (wore cheekpieces) and did not see out 3m on heavy ground when back over hurdles here (first-time blinkers) last month; current mark is workable and this drop back in trip looks the right move but others in the field have much less to prove.

Form & Verdict
Seemed to lose her way last year but returned from break with two pretty convincing wins at Southwell (both 2m4f, soft) last month, and has scope for further progress if handling today's drop back in trip; respected.

Dual C&D winner in March 2024; those were on soft ground but she's fine on good and was twice runner-up before appearing not to stay 3m here in April; should run well.

Form & Verdict
Showed some useful Flat form in Ireland in 2022 and displayed significant improvement over hurdles to win very comfortably on last month's handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft); subsequent 7lb rise could turn out to be lenient.

Dual C&D winner; out of form on the AW and over hurdles since returning from a break in the autumn, and the addition of a tongue-tie did not appear to help much at Plumpton last month; revival needed.

Verdict

Our Pink Lady has won her last two and is not opposed lightly but RULER LEGEND (nap) did not need to be asked any serious questions when winning by 6l on last month’s handicap hurdle debut and could still be very well treated after a 7lb rise.[Chris Wilson]
