Achieved nothing on return from layoff last time but may well prove resurgent returned to Hereford with the outing under his belt, being 3-3 here (2m/2m5f); new trip is the question mark.

J: Conor Stone-Walsh

T: Evan Williams

Dual 2m5f chase winner at Hereford (good) in the spring; well beaten over 3m at Ludlow 12 days ago and needs to rebound quickly from that, but ran much better than bare form suggests when last of six (behind Alien Storm) at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago and can't be ruled out.

11 yo Gelding

OR: 122

Form & Verdict
Regressive and inconsistent 11yo; belied triple-digit odds when runner-up in gruelling race at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) in December, his second start for Tim Reed, but the rest of last season's form was disappointing; now back with Tim Reed after two runs for Tristan Davidson; not an easy one to predict.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage mare who won here over hurdles in March, after a break, and kept on too strongly for odds-on favourite on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) last month; in contention before falling in home straight at Market Rasen (3m, good) on latest outing and remains of strong interest.

J: Luke Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Won four-runner race on chasing debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in April; not a great deal has gone to plan since but she ran well before fading into third over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago and may still have some potential over fences.
