Mostly disappointing last season (light campaign admittedly) and was beaten a long way back from a break at Fontwell; cheekpieces are replaced by a visor here; bit risky.

Flintara

11st 3lb

J: Harry Bannister

T: Richard J Bandey

Two course wins over hurdles and fences, one over C&D; has been below par over fences on her last three starts but it is hoped that a return to hurdling on this track can bring about a revival.

Flintara

11st 10lb

J: Harry Bannister

T: Richard J Bandey

Triple hurdle winner but she's 1-11 over fences and has been well held back in this sphere in her last two starts; on reduced mark and conditions are no problem but she needs a major revival.

7 yo Filly

OR: 99

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdle winner; 0-6 over fences last season but ran well for a good way before tiring behind Fortune Dancer at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft); has a 14lb pull in the weights with that rival and she might be a lot fitter here.

Went chasing without success but she made a winning return to hurdles at Southwell recently (all three wins at 3m there; heavy and soft); raised 5lb but it remains to be seen if she can be as effective around here.

J: Charlie Hammond

Won this is 2024 (first-time cheekpieces), followed up over C&D (also heavy) seven weeks later and beaten just a neck on only other start here; has been chasing since without success and finished a long way off Asa at Catterick last week (first-time blinkers) but returning cheekpieces, hurdling and this C&D are all reasons to be positive.

Form & Verdict
Dual chase scorer; winless last season but there were the odd good runs and this mark isn't beyond her; would like to see some market confidence after a break.

Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations.

Suffered early mishap on penultimate outing but placed on other three starts this season, most recently when clear second to dual subsequent winner at Leicester (2m6f, heavy) last month; might not be ideally suited by the much quicker ground here but still commands respect.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who didn't hang about over hurdles; made a flying start over fences at Fontwell (3m2f, good soft) when 22l too good for Innisfree Lass; handicapper didn't hold back with a 13lb rise but she's thoroughly unexposed.

Well beaten in three maiden/novice hurdles last season but she's 3-3 in chase handicaps this term including a win on soft ground on her penultimate run; 6lb higher than when making all at Windsor (3m, good) last time but she showed a good attitude to beat a clear second; open to more progress over fences; big player.

Form & Verdict
0-11 over hurdles but placed on consecutive outings in early 2024 (2m4f/3m); feasibly handicapped for this chase/stable debut and, although a long-time absent, Sean Bowen is booked.

J: Lorcan Murtagh

T: Tim Vaughan

Still a maiden at the age of nine but she reappeared after a long absence with fair third on chase/stable debut at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) in November; didn't build on that over hurdles (2m6f, heavy) last time but cheekpieces are now added and this return to a right-handed track looks a positive (jumped right on penultimate run); could be dangerous back over fences.

Not disgraced the last twice in handicap chases at about 3m but she's again out of the weights and looks vulnerable.

Runner-up in a heavy-ground 2m6f point in March last year, but little worthwhile form over hurdles since and was beaten 20l on handicap debut in June; needs to find plenty for this switch to fences from 10lb out of the weights.
