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 Ruby Criscuolo

Versatile sort having won on turf, AW and over hurdles; 2lb lower than for his last Flat success but this trip looks sharp enough; Ruby Criscuolo rode a winner for the stable at Wolverhampton last month; yard also runs Wrist Art.

J: Mason Paetel

Made hay initially for this yard last March-June; pretty consistent this year but with only the one win (with first-time visor over hurdles in April) and he may again have to settle for minor honours.

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.

Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list.

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.

Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive.

Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024.
