10st 9lb

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Joe Tickle

Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that.

10st 13lb

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Joe Tickle

Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider.

J: Bryan Carver

Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing.

Form & Verdict
Nine career wins, the latest gained from the front in this grade at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) on Friday; 5lb penalty makes things tougher here but he's pretty consistent and ought to give another good account.

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that.

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off.

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to his novice win in 2019 but, having missed last season, has made the frame on all three appearances this year, most recently when third in Chepstow handicap (1m, good to soft) this month; probably won't be far away.

Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame on consecutive appearances for George Boughey this spring (1m/9.4f; wore cheekpieces) but disappointed in this grade (without headgear) this month and was sold for 2,000gns soon afterwards; has the cheekpieces refitted on this stable debut but others appeal more.

0-6 but has made the frame the last twice including when third of nine in a 0-55 handicap at Ripon (soft) on her penultimate start; those efforts came in cheekpieces, though, which are missing today; shapes as though a stiffer test than this would suit her better.

Lightly raced filly who found improvement with cheekpieces added when staying-on third at Ripon (1m, soft) last month; has different conditions to deal with on this switch to Tapeta, but that was a promising run last time and has claims if she can build on it.
