J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Neil Mulholland

Won a Fontwell handicap (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May but she's been disappointing since including in two runs for new yard this spring; mark continues to fall but she was pulled up at Taunton last time and has a lot to prove; hood is added and tongue-tie is removed.

T: Neil Mulholland

2lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, good) for Ryan Potter last May; soft ground might be blamed for two heavy defeats late last year and perhaps she needed the race when unable to justify market prominence on recent stable debut behind two of these over C&D last month; wore cheekpieces last time and also tongue tied today; interesting to see if her backers return.

Form & Verdict
Made good late headway to snatch fourth on rules debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in February but two heavy defeats over that trip have followed; upped to 3m for this handicap debut; needs to turn things around.

Got off the mark on his stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in March with the aid of first-time cheekpieces (retained since) off 4lb lower; back over hurdles after a couple of unsuccessful efforts over fences; holds claims if running to his best form.

1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims.

Ex-Irish 6yo; well beaten on first two starts for Olly Murphy but was driven clear to score by 7l when back on good ground at Stratford (2m6f; well backed) in March, and might improve again for his new stable.

Consistent and progressive 7yo who made all to score by 6l at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) on latest outing; has fitness to prove after 137-day break but could plausibly be seen to even better effect on the forecast faster ground here.

Form & Verdict
Made very rapid progress over fences in early part of last season, winning four in a row at Newton Abbot (all 3m2f, good); absent since ending 2024 with two heavy defeats on slow ground but conditions will be more suitable for him here and he competes off a lower mark over hurdles.

Seven-time chase winner who developed into a useful performer last season; below form at Uttoxeter recently and tricky to weigh up over hurdles but still looks tempting, given he's 27lb lower in this sphere.

Chase record is 7-20, the most recent success in veterans' contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March; couple of sound efforts since demonstrate that he remains in form aged ten; faces a tougher assignment off current mark in this field, however.

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Debra Hamer

Made all in three-runner contest at Ascot (3m, good) in March and arguably bettered that form when close/clear second at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft) last month; might be a shade vulnerable off new mark but at least we know he's in excellent nick.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 8yo who was placed in two good-ground Chepstow handicaps (2m/2m3f) towards end of last season and can probably be excused his subsequent lesser effort on soft ground; 3lb out of the weights today but pedigree offers hope she might improve over the new trip.
