Has won three times here, including over C&D; below par on her last two starts of last season; yet to win when fresh but has run well after a break; on a competitive mark if she is ready.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't won since making a winning hurdles debut at Stratford last July but shaped with promise after six-month break when staying on to finish third of nine on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago; Harry Cobden takes over for the first time and holds claims.

Juvenile hurdle winner who has finished third in both his handicaps, beaten about 3l and 10l; looks vulnerable off current mark unless the new tongue-tie brings him on.

0-11 over hurdles; did not achieve a great deal when remote third over C&D (good) last month and needs combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces to generate improvement.

Form & Verdict
Last win was in October 2023 but has two course wins (one over C&D); fair third after five-month break at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) last month and has now been dropped 3lb; well-treated if he can come on for that latest run.

11st 8lb

J: Sean Bowen

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.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Looked home and hosed until headed close home when beaten a nose over C&D (good) nine days ago; due to go up 4lb in future races, this will be his last chance to exploit a favourable mark and he may well break his duck over hurdles here.

Got off the mark at the 15th attempt over hurdles at Stratford (2m, good) 16 days ago; 5lb rise will make it tougher but looks sure to run his race and unlikely to be far away.
