Form & Verdict
Came good in style with a 6l win over 1m6f here 12 days ago; overhauled late on when odds on at Chelmsford (1m6f again) on Thursday but pulled well clear of the third and it was another good effort; leading claims off the same mark.

J: Jack Callan

T: Ian Williams

Has registered four wins, the last two over 2m on turf (good/good to firm) last summer; has generally struggled this season but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway at Ffos Las last time; was beaten only about 3l in that race and has possibilities if he can build on that; visor is removed and blinkers return.

Two Chelsmford wins last autumn and she got off the mark for 2024 with a game win at Kempton (2m) in June; creditable third at Chelmsford (2m again) 16 days ago; likely to be competitive.

Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today.

Four thirds over hurdles (from seven attempts) in the midst of his extensive Flat career; that includes off this mark behind Crafty Gael over nearly 3m at Worcester three weeks ago but he seemingly needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark in this sphere.

Creditable third of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; seen only twice over jumps since, latterly when safely held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but stays well on the Flat so this new trip could suit.

Has done most winning on turf in the summer, including a hat-trick last year; it's a push to say he doesn't stay this far but his best efforts have come over a bit shorter and he's always likely to hamper his chances with a slow start.
