Just one win from his last 18 starts but that came by a wide margin over C&D (good to soft) in January and he ran another big race when fourth of 17 at Ascot (2m7f, good) last time; every chance he'll be thereabouts.

Had to wait over two years for his second win but when it came at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago it was by a huge margin; back up 8lb and that's the furthest he's been, but now the possibility arises that he'll be interesting at this trip as well.

Scrambled home to win Sandown novice (2m, soft) last season; pulled up when upped to 3m for handicap debut in April (bled) but made quite encouraging reappearance last month (2m4f) and has possibilities here if that recent outing brought her on.

Free-goer; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in early 2024 but struck form and won three in a row from the front in novice company here last spring (2m-2m4f, good to soft-soft); makes handicap debut after eight-month break but is a contender if fully tuned up.

Has won on soft; some low points along the way but she was quite a convincing winner back hurdling at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, despite the narrow winning margin and bleeding from the nose; the latter issue is a worry and she's back up 5lb but will be a major contender if all is well.
