Made excellent progress towards end of last season, winning three consecutive 2m4f handicaps (good/good to soft); not seen to quite the same effect when reappearing over 2m last month but may kick on again now he's back up in trip and with that run behind him.

Made excellent progress towards end of last season, winning three consecutive 2m4f handicaps (good/good to soft); may still have significant further improvement to come but has fitness to prove after 160-day absence and is not sure to be suited by this drop back to 2m.

Lightly raced and fast-improving 5yo who comes here after two emphatic wins at Fakenham (both 2m4f, good to soft); contests a deeper race today but latest 4lb rise does not look excessive; must be considered.

Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood.

Largely out of form for an Irish stable last year and ought to have coped better with the soft ground when well-held fourth behind Mr Griffiths on last month's stable debut at Warwick (3m2f); sports refitted cheekpieces today, though, and may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy.

Posted three respectable efforts at around 2m4f this spring and continues to edge down the weights, but he is not bred to benefit from this step up in trip and others in this field have more interesting profiles.

Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix.

Multiple Flat/hurdles winner who came back from an absence (after a nasty spill at Plumpton) with encouraging third at Salisbury (good; not clear run) in May; didn't build on that at Goodwood (also 1m6f) this month but he travelled well until soft ground likely got the better of him; drops in trip and he's not ruled out.

11-time winner under rules who made a fine return from 389 days off when third of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) last month, looking unfortunate not to go closer; good or faster ground may suit ideally, but he handles soft; respected in his bid to make it 4-5 in Class 4 handicaps on the Flat.
