Form & Verdict
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace.

Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW.

Form & Verdict
Both wins were in 2023 but she had some close calls in the autumn and ran another good race when third over C&D three weeks ago; 1lb lower here and she should be in the mix again.

Dual winner although the latest of them came here (1m2f) in 2023; regularly in the frame, however, including when fourth at Carlisle (1m3f) last month and third over 2m at Catterick (also good to firm) a fortnight ago; capable of having a say.

Both wins came on the AW in 2023 (8.5f/1m2f); bounced back from a lesser effort at Ayr (1m7f, soft) when a 3l fourth at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last time but she is yet to fully prove she's effective at this trip; visor goes on.

6 yo Colt

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
Has patchy record under both codes, but he won by 4l over C&D in October and was a close second over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f) three weeks ago; still unexposed as a stayer on the Flat and needs close look back in this sphere.

J: Jason Watson

T: Henrietta C Knight

Dual-purpose gelding whose sole win came in a 1m6f AW handicap last October off 6lb lower; has performed well under both codes since, last time third of 24 in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April; fast ground might not be ideal, so any rain would be a blessing.

J: Brendan Powell

T: Henrietta C Knight

British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground.

No match for the winner in his last two races over hurdles but both were well handicapped and returning to a longer trip looks the right move; on the shortlist.

Veteran who won at Wolverhampton (2m) in December and he's been beaten less than 2l there (1m6f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and shouldn't be far away.

J: Jason Hart

T: Ewan Whillans

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip.

Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable.

A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer.
