Form & Verdict
Only had to reproduce previous hurdles form to get off the mark in a pretty thin Southwell novice this month (2m4f, good), making all on his first outing since wind surgery; initial mark demands further improvement, but confidence will be high.

Hadn't been seeing out 3m too well in British points earlier in 2025, but outpaced on both hurdling starts in the summer (beaten 17l over C&D latest) and staying handicaps appeal as the way to go now.

Form & Verdict
Four-time 2m-2m4f Sedgefield winner last autumn (two hurdles), and now temporarily dropped back below the mark of the last of those despite going close back at that venue nine days ago (2m1f, good to firm; up 3lb again this weekend); won't mind taking a lead from his rivals here.

Five course wins at up to 2m4f, mainly on good ground; has run several good races this summer, including when third at Cartmel in July (2m1f, good); each-way chance.

Five-time winner at Sedgefield but he's a dual C&D winner and ran well enough last time at Cartmel to command respect.

Record of 5-18 over fences but all of those wins have come at Sedgefield (2m/2m4f); only 2lb higher than for his last win in April but he's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth of seven over C&D (good; 16-1) last time; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
C&D maiden scorer; didn't quite run up to her previous best in taking a 2m3f Stratford mares' handicap when last seen in July (good; made all), but slightly longer trips are probably that bit better a suit and today's additional yardage is all to the good; 7lb rise demands extra.

Can front-run; did well in May-July 2025; although well beaten, latest start (chase debut) was at least a step back in that direction; probably needs overall improvement stepping up from about 2m4f.

Second hurdle win for this yard when taking a mares' handicap at Stratford (2m3f, good) last July but very disappointing in her last two runs after lengthy breaks; makes chase debut and she was second in a point.
