Four-time hurdles winner; not solid on his form this term, latterly for new yard; unseated rider at Taunton over fences on latest; best form is on better ground than this. |

Three wins at Downpatrick and one at Carlisle which was the latest in February; showed nothing in two runs since that win but encouraging signs when fourth at Gowran 20 days ago and he's back on his last winning mark. |

Maiden wasn't beaten far on two occasions at Downpatrick this season over 2m2f-2m6f but was beaten 18l there last time; needs to return to earlier form. |

Point and hurdles winner added a chase success at Kelso off 113 in April last year (2m4f, good); well beaten next time at Cartmel; returned from almost a year off when tailed off at Kilbeggan last time; entitled to improve over that. |

Ran only twice in 2025, won at Kelso on the first occasion, poor at Cartmel on the second; suited by good ground; may need the run. |

Probably hated the softish ground last time and had previously been beaten almost 15l behind a well-handicapped winner at Bellewstown (2m4f; good; first-time cheekpieces); thereabouts. |

10yo mare opened her account over hurdles at the 16th attempt at Clonmel in May (2m4f, good to yielding); distant second (winner DSQ) over 2m4f (soft) here off this 6lb higher mark last time; this ground suits better and she can continue to acquit herself well. |

Longstanding maiden was placed on a couple of occasions this time last year; entitled to come on from last month's comeback run so don't rule out with rider's claim a positive. |

Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance. |

Off the mark (first-time cheekpieces) in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap in May off 100 but well held since, latest in similar contest in August; withdrawn over C&D last month due to good ground so may not have his ground here either and yard also have a strong contender in Goodie Girl. |
