Form & Verdict
Poor in Ireland but yet another to improve for a switch to this yard, backing up his solid Southwell third when coming away with an unexposed rival over C&D last week (Flying Scotsman fourth); has been found the ideal opening under a penalty.

J: Miss Gina Andrews

Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise.

Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning in a first-time visor at Plumpton last month but he was below his best back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, good) 13 days ago; drops back down in grade with a place chance.

Running well on the AW in just a tongue-tie and has continued the good work over hurdles, finishing second (cheekpieces added) before a win 12 days ago (first-time visor); should have a part to play here.

Form & Verdict
Boasts a poor strike-rate on the AW and isn't as good now but remains consistent enough; may be the one to take them along and tactics could well have a say in a small-field, uncompetitive affair.

J: Neil Callan

T: Tony Carroll

Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on.

Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up.

Only 1-29 on AW but gained the win at Southwell (in 2022) and is currently in a consistent vein of form, mainly here and most recently at Chelmsford; frame possibilities.

8 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
C&D win in January didn't amount to much and he was easy to back when a well-held fourth behind Market House here last Tuesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to close the gap at least.

Scored over C&D in January off just 1lb lower; absent since a heavy defeat over hurdles in May but the January win came after a 95-day break; visor the headgear of choice today; more appealing than many.

Seen only once over hurdles since 2023, when pulled up last summer, and his AW win in January came in a low-grade handicap; needs to prove he can still be competitive off a mark this high over jumps.

Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid.
