4 yo Colt

OR: 73

Form & Verdict
Disappointing in the main since promising debut second in February 2024 (9.4f, AW) but he returned to form with an encouraging third at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) last month, when denied a clear run; can play a leading role if backing up that performance and handling the forecast fast ground.

Flat winner has yet to trouble the judge in seven attempts hurdling over various trips; down 5lb from opening mark but still seems best watched.

J: Sam Ewing

Useful Flat form in Britain; yet to show much over hurdles, although not beaten far in seventh at Ballinrobe last month; feasible he can improve.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent sort who has won just one of his last 23 starts; however, he went close over C&D (good to firm) on his reappearance and was back on song when second at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week; possible player.

Gained a first win in over two years at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in July; 3lb lower today, as he's not been so good recently, including over C&D on latest outing; others therefore have more pressing claims.

Gained a first win in over two years at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in July and creditable third over C&D (good to firm again) later that month; hasn't reached the same level since but now 2lb below that successful mark and could bounce back for in-form yard.

Won five times last season at about 1m4f (various ground), with three of them here; flopped on first two runs this term but returned to form with close second at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; unbeaten over C&D and has plenty in her favour.

Won five times last year, one of those over C&D, but below form since finishing second of five at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this June; she has dropped in the weights and is dangerous to dismiss back here.

Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier.

Form & Verdict
Made all when back on the Flat for stable debut over C&D (good) in April; had been headed but was still bang there when badly hampered inside the final furlong at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; could still have more to offer for this yard and he's firmly in calculations.

Front-runner who won when back on the Flat at Chester (1m4f, good) in July, then finished second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) before getting back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m4f, soft); Chester brings out the best in him but no surprise to see a bold bid on his first visit here.

J: Pat Dobbs

Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here.

Form & Verdict
Won here last June and consistent on the Flat since, running well in defeat here on his last three starts (two of them over C&D); can give another solid account but may again find one or more too good, unless the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) gives him a boost.

Triple hurdle winner who is 1-36 on the Flat but he returned after a break with an eye-catching fourth at Beverley (1m2f, good) last week; should benefit from that run and he could get involved back up in trip.
