7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Struggled over fences earlier but was having only his fourth run over hurdles when beating three rivals at Fakenham one month ago (2m4f, good) and jumping right didn't help matters when a close second at Huntingdon on Tuesday; clear claims if turned out again.

Doc McCoy

J: Isabelle Ryder

T: Jamie Snowden

Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though.

Strike-rate of 5-13 over hurdles and he's rated 10lb lower as a chaser (0-5); however, hasn't offered a lot in this discipline and it's over a year since he last went chasing.

Strike-rate of 5-12 over hurdles and won easily at Warwick (2m5f, good) before pulling up at Ascot in October; he does have a bit to prove off this mark even if returning in good order.

Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; however, there's been little to shout about in the meantime and, while the return of this headgear is probably a good thing, this 11yo has too much to prove.

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; he's not fired in the same way since and is now 11 but took second back over C&D last May (4lb lower today); absent since November and the lack of any equipment is striking (for a start, he's been tongue tied all starts under rules) but he's worth a second look.

Form & Verdict
The best of his three runs (hooded each time) was the near miss in a maiden at Hexham (2m4f, good); that was a very ordinary race but he has a nice pedigree; disappointing if he can't do better.

Runner-up four times over hurdles prior to getting off the mark in a tight finish here (3m, good; 13-8 favourite, added tongue-tie) last September; off since and set to make chasing debut but there's no reason why he shouldn't take to fences; merits respect.

Unexposed 6yo who chased home a next-time-out winner on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f) in May and was back on track, after a blip, when second of 11 over C&D (also good) in July; can likely do better and he's respected in first-time cheekpieces.

Runner-up in back-to-back handicaps (2m4f/2m3f) before he was unsuited by soft ground at Exeter when last seen in December; every chance off this mark if on the ball after his break.

T: James Owen

Four-time hurdle winner and his last success was at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in June; disappointing in final run for the Hobbs/White yard but he still looks feasibly treated on his best form and needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear.

Won by 5l over C&D (good) this month but that was a surprise outcome at 66-1 and, rather typically, he couldn't replicate the form at Worcester since; that was under a penalty and he's now 4lb higher.

T: Alison Thorpe

Only his second win in 42 career starts when doing it easily last week at Ffos Las (2m4f, good), defying odds of 66-1; that was from out of the weights so only 3lb higher here with a penalty; whether he'll replicate the form is the glaring concern.

Form & Verdict
Two years since sole success in a Worcester handicap hurdle (2m, good) and she wasn't in that sort of form late last year; certainly capable of a big run off this mark if revived by a change of scenery; stays this far.

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when close second to Quick Of The Night at Worcester (2m, good) this month; one to consider.

Sole win was in May 2023 but that was a clearcut success over C&D (good); still 3lb higher than for that win but she's had only two runs for current yard and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter last time; should get a good tow into this race and she's in the mix back at this track; tongue-tie reapplied and wears first-time cheekpieces.

Only won the once and that was over two years ago, over 2m on good ground off 3lb lower; one of the favourites for recent stable debut at Ffos Las but was beaten when departing late on; that run was after a break and she could be sharper all round this time.
