1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with a quite encouraging fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last month and subsequent run may be best overlooked (pulled up after losing action in early stages) but others appeal more all the same.

J: Jack Stenhouse

Sole hurdle win was in a Taunton novice (2m, good to firm) in November 2024; generally struggled last year but she reappeared with an encouraging fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) this month; should get a decent tow into this race and has each-way claims if she can build on that last run.

Jukebox Annie

10st 8lb

J: Ben Godfrey

T: Claire Hitch

Has made little impact since switched to handicaps and, though well supported at Taunton (2m, good) in January, failed to justify the money, struggling a long way out and eventually pulling up; off since and now 14lb lower than her opening mark but can only be watched at present.

Form & Verdict
Two promising runs in bumpers at Worcester (good ground) in the summer but ran to a barely modest level when fourth on his 2m2f Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) 23 days ago; lightly raced profile provides the scope for improvement but plenty more will be needed to trouble Tuxedo Junction.

Placed over hurdles; only his second run over fences when doing it fairly comfortably here two weeks ago (2m5f, good; fine on softer) and he promises to stay this far; every chance off a 6lb higher mark.

Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable.

Form & Verdict
Ten chase wins since last seen over hurdles in 2020, the latest when digging deep at regular haunt Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in August; below-form fourth of five at Wincanton last time but still looks the main threat to Tuxedo Junction.
