Well beaten, at best, over hurdles on last three starts; competitive judged on best 2025 Flat form but that was on turf, whereas he faces a stiff task judged on his AW record (0-10 off significantly lower marks).

J: Jonathan England

T: Sam England

Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted.

Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well.

Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable.

Three turf wins over about 1m4f last May-August and she scored again at this trip, leading over 1f out and hanging on by a short head, at Lingfield five weeks ago after nearly six months off; back up 3lb but effective at this track too and probably ready for another bold show.
