Form & Verdict
Runner-up in his last two Irish points and was placed in first four runs over hurdles; his form dipped when second of three at Lingfield in March but that was on heavy ground and he returned from a break with a runaway win in maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m3f, good) 18 days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he's open to more progress and is strongly respected for in-form yard.

11st 13lb

J: William Maggs

T: Mike Sowersby

Completed a hat-trick in late 2024 (including a walkover) but has largely struggled off higher marks since and signed off for Olly Murphy with a couple of modest efforts, including in cheekpieces last time; 3lb lower than for his latest success but needs the change of scenery to spark a revival.

Still to get his head in front in this sphere but he comes here on the back of a fair fifth of eight in 3m1f handicap at Wincanton last time; this three-time hurdles scorer is in the mix with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

12st 0lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Career-best RPR but not at all fluent when third at Wetherby in December (3m, soft), and lasted just two fences on sole run since; has neither trip nor ground issues and mark remains competitive, so just a case of whether he returns more fleet of foot following two months out.

W: 10st 13lb

OR: 121

Form & Verdict
1m4f Flat winner in Ireland; beaten favourite in all four runs over hurdles but he has form figures of 2223 in this sphere and his form has been consistent at up to 2m4f; left Joseph O'Brien for £32,000 last month and he sets the standard on his British/stable debut; key player.

Won a Catterick novice hurdle in January 2025 (1m7f, soft); was then off for 305 days and hasn't run quite as well since; cheekpieces now tried.

Has largely consistent form but needs progress to land this competitive handicap and double his hurdles tally; steps back up in distance (placed over 2m4f in Ireland).

T: Lizzie Quinlan

Won over 1m4f for Joseph O'Brien; added a five-runner novice hurdle on second run for this yard on New Year's Day; doesn't look obviously well treated for this handicap debut and has an absence to overcome.
