Form & Verdict
Consistent gelding who since July has posted form figures of 223112 in 1m2f-1m4f handicaps for Harry Eustace, whom he left for 55,000gns; Lavender Hill Mob reached a higher level in that scene but this 3yo can pay his way over hurdles.

Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since.

Won a 2m juvenile contest here in November 2024, and added to his tally in a Series Final at Musselburgh (Class 2) the following spring; twice runner-up on the Flat here (1m2f) this winter, but well beaten over hurdles at Fakenham (2m) one month ago; others more obvious.

Mixed bag in 1m2f Newcastle Flat contests and two hurdles in recent months; only 1lb higher than for his Juvenile Hurdle Series Final win at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) this time last year, however, and Yorkshire yard has had placed horses in this race the past two years.

Form & Verdict
Progressive Flat performer in these colours for Michael Bell, last seen finishing seventh of 11 in the 1m6f Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot; new trainer has done particularly well with Flat recruits over hurdles and this 3yo has reportedly schooled well; now gelded.

1m4f winner from the front (under Mason Paetel) at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; had a bit to prove on AW (and over 2m on Flat) when always behind at Kempton three weeks ago but should be benefited from that run.

Career-best effort on the Flat when bagging a 1m4f course handicap (good) in May; found out off higher marks in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Northumberland Plate at Newcastle the following month; in common with stablemate East India Rock, he's been given a three-month break ahead of this step up to Listed company; has something to find on form with a couple of these.

Form & Verdict
1m2f/1m4f winner this year for Ollie Sangster (sold on for 37,000gns); however, plied his trade at a lowly level and was just a respectable third in what looked a weaker juvenile hurdle than this at Musselburgh on Thursday (jumped left throughout).

Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend.

For a newcomer from this yard she was notably weak in the market at Bangor (good to soft; 18-1) and could finish only fourth of the seven runners; this should be a much stronger race.
