Sole maiden in this field but has some good pieces of form and could show progress now handicapping, for all that it's a high starting point; 5lb out of weights but usual rider Jamie Neild takes off 7lb. |

11st 1lb |
Commenced hurdles career with two falls; has shown improvement the last twice (won over 2m, runner-up over 2m3f) but the form isn't dazzling and this assignment is much harder. |

2nd 2 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well when he fell late on in his first two runs over hurdles; fifth of 13 at Exeter (2m, soft) next time and he built on that when winning a maiden at Lingfield (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; needs better in this company but he did it easily last time and should stay. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Running well when he fell late on in his first two runs over hurdles; fifth of 13 at Exeter (2m, soft) eight weeks ago was similar form, which looks the best in this line-up, but he's up against some with potential. |

A half-brother to useful hurdler Sarasota Star; displayed promise in a couple of good-ground bumpers in the spring, staying on well into fifth of 16 at Ludlow on debut having been reluctant to go to post; more probably needed on hurdle debut back from a 138-day break. |

1lb out of the weights; point winner; still a maiden under rules but made a respectable handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last time and dropping back in trip with a solid gallop on the cards could benefit him. |

Last month's midfield finish at Ludlow represented an improvement, if not the major one perhaps anticipated following wind surgery and he still finished weakly (beaten 10l); bit more to prove now. |

Popped up at 40-1 in a 2m3f handicap at Doncaster in January (good to soft) and his overall profile suggests soft ground might not be ideal, which would excuse him last time (after a 6lb rise); could have a role to play. |
