Form & Verdict
Form figures of 112 over hurdles since wind surgery, running well at Punchestown on stable debut the final time; soon pulled up (jockey felt something was amiss) on return to Flat but ran respectably, again at Goodwood (2m), last time; possibilities off 2lb lower dropped in grade.

Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough.

Four-time Flat winner is 2-19 over hurdles; 8l behind Laughing John when runner up in qualifier for this at Wincanton on penultimate; modest run on the level at Musselburgh on latest; others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Highly tried at Cheltenham returned to hurdles the last twice (early faller latest); Flat form last year featured two wins over 1m6f elsewhere and a couple of third-place finishes at Newbury, including over 2m; solid chance back here, assuming she's on song.

Returned from break with wide-margin win in three-runner contest at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; the value of that form is open to question (leader crashed through rail and ran out in home straight) but she remains unexposed over this sort of trip and the handicapper has been pragmatic in raising her 4lb.

Flat/hurdle winner; headed to Kempton last time unproven over this far but saw it out fine to finish third of the nine runners (on good ground); solid chance off 1lb higher.

Kitty Foyle

J: Robbie David

T: Daisy Hitchins

Won a Flat handicap (1m6f, soft) and a novice hurdle (2m1f, good) last autumn; mixed record under both codes since then but she's been highly tried in last four hurdle runs and was third in a Listed race at Taunton last December; now returns to jumping after a short break and needs watching in market on handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Similar type to Hydroplane, being a 9yo who has been successful under both codes; midfield when an outsider in the Chester Cup on seasonal debut and made no impact at Goodwood since; still needs to prove that he retains peak ability.

Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return.

Form & Verdict
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest.

Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board.
