Form & Verdict
Irish point winner (3m, good) who won a novice hurdle at Bangor (2m, soft) in November and he ran respectably in handicaps (2m4f/3m) in his final two runs during the winter; should have a future at this new discipline and he needs a close look on chase debut.

Didn't fail for stamina but equally didn't strike as obviously ahead of his mark when almost 6l fourth on last month's Uttoxeter handicap debut (2m4f, soft); hopes likely rest on this first return to 3m since winning an Irish point in spring 2024 (good) unlocking further potential.

J: Lewis Saunders

T: Olly Murphy

Irish point winner who added a Bangor novice in November (2m, soft) and posted a higher RPR when beaten under a penalty at Leicester; Lewis Saunders takes off a handy 5lb on this handicap debut and he should stay okay (kept to about 2m so far under rules).

Form & Verdict
2-4 over hurdles but mixed form in five runs over fences, with his best effort a second of five at Windsor (3m, soft) in January; had wind surgery after disappointing run at Kelso (jumped right) in February and he had a walkover at Hereford on Tuesday; not easy to weigh up at present but both hurdle wins came over similar trips and he has claims if back near best.

1-7 over fences; gifted a walkover before finishing second in a four-runner handicap at Uttoxeter where he failed to fire when favourite for their Summer Cup 20 days ago; he's better than that and further progress is possible with cheekpieces added.

Novice chaser whose form this term comprises a walkover at Hereford and close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); bred to be suited by a test of stamina and he is still unexposed over 3m; interesting back up in distance, with progress still plausible.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who won two of her three novice hurdles (both 2m3f, good to soft) but she's made a shaky transition to fences; ran well to a point when runner-up at Newbury in February but she was pulled up after making a bad mistake at Hereford (first run after surgery) last month; that took her chase record to 0-4 and others are more convincing.

Generally disappointing since her two wins over hurdles in the 2024/25 season and she's now 0-6 as a chaser, from 2m3f to 3m; needs a lift from this new headgear combination.

2-3 as a novice hurdler during 2024-25 season but 0-5 and generally disappointing since switched to chasing in November; didn't run badly when third of four in higher-grade event here (2m4f, good) last month, though, and is still unexposed over this sort of trip.

3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims.
