Form & Verdict
Has been very capable on his day and in good form in the spring, with wins at Musselburgh (2m1f, soft) and Perth (2m, good to soft); paid the handicapping price for the latter easy win but he wasn't far away in a higher grade at Kelso in May; form claims if ready to go.

11yo who was disappointing at Haydock last time but has otherwise thrived since this visor went on last March, winning three times (2m/2m1f, soft-good; including here); fair third at Kelso (2m, soft) two starts ago and he's no forlorn hope each-way at forecast big odds.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner (good) in March; has a weights pull with Mack The Man on a later Perth run but the 6l gap between them would have been greater had the winner been asked for an effort earlier; faces competitive return.

Form & Verdict
Won sole Irish point; has led; fair level of hurdle form at about 2m1f without progressing (mark unchanged after latest two defeats) but he should come on for his recent return and have some handicap potential.

Irish point winner; 0-7 over hurdles but scores high marks for consistency; beaten under 2l when fifth of 12 in recent Catterick handicap (2m3f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and is proven at this track; ought to be a tough nut to crack.

Form & Verdict
Won Flat maiden for Joseph O'Brien in 2023; hurdle promise since and was travelling nicely on 2m1f handicap debut at Bellewstown in April only to take a heavy fall two out (first-time hood, now discarded); off since but of interest for new yard (same owners) that won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Two runs for Harry Fry and one for Lucinda Russell, looking quite promising when fourth of eight on the latter occasion, at Musselburgh (2m1f, soft) in April; has scope and looks the type to do better in handicaps; market can guide on debut for Olly Murphy.

T: Olly Murphy

His first three races were for two other yards; ran in three handicaps for current stable, on second occasion coming home strongly from off the pace to win seven-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite some iffy jumping; however, he showed little at Taunton (2m3f, soft) one month ago; very mixed messages, therefore, despite the likely benefit on new trip.
