Has come good off his much reduced mark and a 4lb rise for Hereford last time is more than fair (2m, good); one of his career-best runs was on soft so rain won't bother him.

Form & Verdict
Made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in March; those tactics could only bring an 11l-second at Taunton (about 2m, good to firm) nine days later but he impressed with some good leaps on the way round and the winner is promising; now makes handicap debut and this track should suit.

Inferior to Vaguely Royal on the Flat but has made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good); looks to have more on his plate under a penalty but still respected.

Form & Verdict
Triple course winner, including maiden/novice hurdles (around 2m3f, good) in 2023; won off a reduced mark at Exeter (2m, good) in November but wasn't as good when third at Huntingdon and then finished tailed off at Cheltenham in December; ran as though his return from a break was needed when sixth over C&D 17 days ago and he should do much better this time.

J: Richie McLernon

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m3f) who is still seeking a first chase success after four attempts over fences, though he's gone close on a couple of occasions; the drop in trip will not be an issue and he's not yet fully exposed, but he'll need to step up on those efforts if he's to break his duck.

Three-time hurdle winner, most recently off this mark at Exeter (2m, good) in November; made a promising chase debut in May when a staying-on second at Huntingdon (2m, good) but never involved at Newton Abbot (2m, good to soft) last month, shaping on both occasions as though a step back up in trip would help; player.

Form & Verdict
Prolific performer, mainly in Jersey, who knows how to get the job done in Britain too; running well this spring since coming back from a break, following up a Bath success on the Flat with a solid second over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) 16 days ago; likeable 9yo who'll appreciate the likely decent gallop.

J: David Probert

T: Neil Mulholland

Veteran whose two 2025 wins were at this track over 1m6f and 1m5f; placed twice over hurdles last November but last week's run in that sphere (after a Flat reappearance here) was disappointing and dents his appeal.

In good form without winning (runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton) before Christmas and should be sharper for a recent fifth on the Flat at Bath; this veteran needs considering.

Has done a lot of his winning in Jersey but he scored here (1m5f, firm) in the autumn and was runner-up over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f) in his final run in 2025; returns after 141 days off but he needs watching in market back on the Flat.
