Form & Verdict
Seems to have lost his way since promising novice campaign in 2023-24 but wasn't beaten far after making the running in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good; first-time visor) in July and is dropped significantly in grade here; cheekpieces tried today.

Kept on the go for most of last season and into May, with mixed fortunes but they included three wins (one C&D); good chance if he resumes in top form.

He was a hard ride over C&D last month (good) but on top when it mattered and his record here now reads 2111; raised 4lb but a greater concern is whether he'll be up for it.

J: Tom Cannon

Needs to rebound, having been out of form since the turn of the year; however, has a record of 211 at Plumpton, most recently winning off just 1lb lower in November; return to this venue may have positive effect; goes without headgear for first time in a while.

Form & Verdict
Has mixed record over hurdles and fences since win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in early 2024 but his run at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) in February was much better than eventual 52l defeat might suggest, and he returns from his break on a tempting mark.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Ben Pauling

Scored off 6lb lower at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last autumn but returned from break with substandard run in May and it's questionable what he achieved when second of three behind 2-9 favourite in tactical C&D (good) race in June; off for another 104 days since; others have less to prove.

Form & Verdict
Battled well to lead close home at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago, opening his hurdling account at the 17th attempt; ought to be very competitive again off his British mark here.

Regressive over hurdles this year but more encouraging run a week ago at Downpatrick off career-low mark, only losing second late on over 2m2f behind a clear winner; same mark but more needed to play a major role.

Regressive over hurdles this year, well beaten over C&D on latest; last win came over C&D in August 2025 off 8lb higher so is well treated if finding his best.

Progressive 6yo who has collected two Newton Abbot wins (both 2m2f, good) this season; below form after racing too freely there on latest outing but remains one to be interested in.
