Form & Verdict
Ex-French 5yo who came good over hurdles at sixth attempt, with comfortable success in six-runner course maiden (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; however, the value of that form is open to question (short-odds favourite disappointed) and he contests a deeper race today; new trip.

Gained a first win over fences at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) in March and posted a solid fifth off a 6lb higher mark there (good) last month; possibilities.

Sent chasing this season and has been inconsistent (made a respiratory noise on penultimate start) but it looks as if he is best away from soft/heavy ground and won in clearcut fashion in a five-runner C&D race (good to soft) six weeks ago; 6lb higher today but 5lb claimer is recruited and he has more to offer as a stayer.

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

A fairly useful winning hurdler who advanced his form on just his second run in this sphere when runner-up in 3m Doncaster handicap in December; pulled up in similar event there (reportedly made a respiratory noise) following month though so needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Suffered a dip in form after promising hurdle debut in October but, following a wind op, gained hard-fought wins on good to soft at Carlisle (2m3f) and Kelso (2m5f) this year; not really favoured by today's weights and not sure to be suited by the forecast good ground but still enters calculations.

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Made little impact in beginners' chases on last three outings (unseated rider twice) but showed some fair hurdling form last year, perhaps most notably when second in a 12-runner Tramore maiden (2m5f, good) in August; has a part to play here if somewhere near his best.

Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form.

Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out.

Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again.

Form & Verdict
2-2 over hurdles, the latter win gained in pretty good style at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; moves up in trip today and needs to be taken very seriously.

Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when winning his first two hurdle starts in late 2024 but Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December was a step back in the right direction in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; possible player.

Dual 2m4f novice winner towards end of 2024, beating a useful rival at Sedgefield (good to soft) on latter occasion; returned from break with disappointing run in April (raced too freely) but still looks interesting on this handicap debut; had wind operation during summer break.
