Form & Verdict
Bumper winner on soft; beaten favourite in his three runs over hurdles but has performed to a smart level, last time going down narrowly in a Cheltenham maiden (2m4f, good); should win this en route to something a lot better; the tongue-tie is new.

J: Harry Atkins

T: Dan Skelton

Low-mileage 6yo who has a solid record (yet to finish out of the first three) and may still have further progress in him; made all in Warwick maiden (2m3f, heavy) most recently; interesting handicap debutant.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Louise Allan

Maiden point winner in 2024; showed no significant promise in maiden hurdles this season (2m-2m4f; refused to race on one occasion) and is 14lb out of the weights for this handicap debut; needs combination of longer trip and new tongue-tie to enable significant improvement.

Verdict

There’s no temptation to see beyond JUST GOLDEN who only narrowly missed out in a Cheltenham maiden last time. Solid Performer is the other runner with clear potential and this pair should dominate.[Alistair Jones]
