J: Marc Goldstein

T: Sheena West

15-race maiden but he ran well in two hurdle handicaps last month including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start; only 1lb higher here and he should go well again.

Reteti

J: Marc Goldstein

T: Sheena West

14-race maiden; 0-6 in this discipline but he's improved for the switch to handicaps and produced a solid effort off this mark when runner-up at Stratford (extended 2m) and coping well with the good to firm ground; can play a major role again.

J: Tom Queally

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Well treated on 2023 form but hasn't raced on the Flat for over two years and recent hurdles efforts suggest he's not the same horse now; needs to prove he retains peak ability.

Useful on the Flat in his prime; yet to win over hurdles, but has made the frame on his last three starts, since returning from a lengthy absence; down to a career-low mark and holds claims.

His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does.

Fair, four-race maiden on AW Flat for Jamie Osborne last year; runner-up in two of his eight hurdle races for Warren Greatrex but soundly beaten on last two outings, claimed for £6,000 from a seller in May on latest; best watched for now.
