2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won twice last summer and made a solid return when second of seven at Newton Abbot (3m3f, good to soft) last month; entitled to improve for that run and cannot be left out of calculations. |

Low-mileage 7yo who displayed improvement to win this race a year ago (good ground), after a break, then followed up at Stratford (2m6f, good) one month later; not seen again since but further progress is possible and we know she can go well when fresh. |

Well behind Jolyjump over C&D in November (good); won in testing ground at Bangor two runs ago (heavy); not so good last time and this better ground is a concern. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Successful in similar event here (2m4f) early in season and gamely doubled his rules tally in novice handicap chase at Bangor (2m1f) last Wednesday; good chance returned to hurdles off same mark as last time. |

26th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Winning pointer but just 1-30 under rules, the win coming over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last May; fair third of eight over fences at Leicester (2m4f, soft) 13 days ago and each-way claims on that performance, despite being 3lb out of the weights. |

10st 6lb |
0-13 under rules; ran well when fourth of 14 over hurdles in first-time blinkers (now removed) here (2m5f, good) last month (winner has gone in again since), but he comes up against some in-form rivals on chase debut; others preferred. |

Returned from break with pretty good fourth here (2m3f, good to soft) in February, but was well beaten on both outings last month (3m1f/2m3f) and needs a big boost from the first-time blinkers. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Seemingly back in good form when winning two good-ground points in May (3m/2m4f) but was unable to justify favouritism when remote fourth in 2m4f handicap hurdle last month; back up in trip for this return to chasing. |
6/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Out of form when last seen under rules in the autumn but seemingly back in good nick when winning two restricted points last month; suited by this C&D and looks interesting off her lowly mark. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Kept on well to open account at Perth (2m4f, good) this month, his 19th start over hurdles; 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here but he'll be fine over the longer trip and is evidently in good nick. |

Bumper winner who left previous hurdling efforts behind to beat Sassified with some comfort last week at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft); escapes a penalty for that so has obvious claims. |

21st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-6 over hurdles and hasn't really threatened, while he's unproven on ground slower than good; however, he's been a fair third in two of his three handicaps (2m5f/2m1f) and is edging down the weights; could be in the mix if handling conditions. |

Has shown hurdling ability but finished well down the field when fitted with cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut and refused to race on her latest appearance 11 days ago (no headgear); others look much less risky. |

10st 2lb |
Ran much better than 30l defeat might suggest when fourth under very positive ride here (2m5f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month but she's effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has now been unplaced all eight hurdling starts; cheekpieces refitted. |
