Form & Verdict
Suffered dip in form after her two good-ground wins for Anthony Honeyball last spring (2m3f/2m) and there was no upturn on last summer's debut for Chris Gordon; makes debut for latest new stable after an eight-month break and with quite a bit to prove but she's on a workable mark; well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Has enhanced her good strike-rate over fences with back-to-back wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and Bangor (3m; again on good); it was harder work last time after a 6lb rise and she now has another 5lb to contend with, though last time was her first go over this far.

8yo who made it 5-16 over fences when bouncing back with a clearcut win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb but she hit a personal best last time and is a big player again if her stamina holds out on this step up 3m.

4-15 over fences; gained a win at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) in October but hit with a 7lb rise and she's been well held on both outings this year, most recently trailing home last of three at Wincanton (2m, good) three weeks ago; only 2lb lower and now has plenty to prove.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner who ran well from the front when third on chasing debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December; tended to jump left there so this switch to a right-handed track is a slight worry but, on the flipside, the forecast faster ground is a big plus.

Won a three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in April but beaten 61l when sixth of seven at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) five weeks ago; still 6lb higher than his last win and needs to return to form.

Form & Verdict
Dual 2m4f chase winner last season (soft/good to soft); back on a very good mark now and hinted at a possible return to form when respectable fourth at Ludlow last month but he was lacklustre at Warwick since and now has it all to prove again.

J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Jane Williams

Rallied for a near miss over C&D in December (Regal Renaissance challenging when falling) and he was part responsible for the strong pace off which Rodney won at Hereford (2m5f, soft); capable of being involved should this pan out more favourably.

Won this race on chasing debut in 2023 and was also on target at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) the following January; drew a blank and became rather disappointing last season but can be very dangerous off current mark if revitalised after 225-day break.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden hurdle here in February 2024 (1m7f, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) but well beaten in all three subsequent handicaps, the last twice over fences this season (2m/3m); drops back to intermediate trip today and is not written off just yet but it takes a leap of faith to support him.
