Not beaten far when third of five off lowly mark in Hexham handicap hurdle (2m7f, heavy) last March but safely held in both points this year and evidently not the force of old. |

Dual point winner who is unexposed under rules but he was tailed off back over hurdles (2m5f, good to soft) on his handicap debut three weeks ago; that was after a break but he was a big price in that race and he's going to turn ten soon; opposable. |

Pulled up in two hunter chases last spring but has largely been in good form in points this year (in the frame four times) and seems versatile regarding ground; can make her presence felt. |

Dual point winner; gave good account when fourth (just behind Theoldboggroad) in this race a year ago but has not been at his best in points this season and needs help from the new cheekpieces. |

Ran poorly in this race a year ago but led close home to win soft-ground point at Friars Haugh in February and returned to racing under rules with very respectable fourth in Buccleuch Cup at Kelso (2m7f, good) last month. |

His mark continues to fall but this 7yo remains a maiden after 21 rules starts and recent evidence doesn't indicate a win is imminent. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made it 0-20 under rules when pulled up over fences at Ayr last week; however, before that he posted two fair runs over hurdles (2m5f/2m) and shaped as though he would benefit from this longer trip; well treated on last spring's chase form; could appreciate the return to hurdling; interesting. |

19-race maiden; placed in handicap, a couple of hunter chases and in two points last year; two fair runs over hurdles this term after wind surgery; well handicapped but others appeal more. |

Struggled to get competitive off lowly marks in handicap chases last year but appeared to display improvement when making all to cause 12-1 surprise in maiden point at Friars Haugh (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now needs to build on that performance. |

In the frame in three maiden points since returning from a break in December; finished just behind Bentley Road when staying-on fourth at Friars Haugh (3m, good to soft) last month but slower ground might show him in a better light here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

Maiden; has been placed on a few occasions pointing (also run out twice) but hasn't shown much in his two runs in hunter chases; not an obvious candidate. |

Maiden pointer who was pulled up in 2024 edition of this race on only previous rules start; ran well in two 2m4f maiden points last month (albeit ran out at final fence on first occasion) but others look stronger. |

Low-mileage 5yo who was placed in two maiden points last month (good to soft/soft); has a bit more on his plate on this rules debut but may still have potential. |
