Form & Verdict
Joined Jamie Snowden after winning Irish bumper in October and is 2-3 over hurdles this spring, the latter win gained at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm); tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap debut and ideally needs to brush up his jumping but it's hard to gauge the limit of his ability.

Bidding to emulate stablemate Handlethekettle, who took the same C&D 0-140 as him last year before going on to add this race; 4lb rise for that latest win leaves him with nothing in hand on peak RPRs and he could still jump better, but there's nothing halfway as progressive in opposition.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Joined Jamie Snowden after Irish bumper win in October; made underwhelming stable/hurdle debut in March but justified odds-on favouritism in five-runner Exeter maiden (2m, good) last month and is open to significant further improvement over this longer trip; leading contender.

4-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in September; absent since a lesser effort over 2m7f in October, though, and might not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip.

Hasn't had all that much racing for an 8yo and he's a four-time winner over hurdles; not far off his best when runner-up in a small field over 2m4f at Worcester and he needs further than that ideally; player.

3-14 over hurdles, having battled well to beat two next-time-out winners at Sedgefield (3m3f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher here if Freddie Keighley's reduced claim is considered; still enters calculations.

Strike-rate of 5-15 over fences, winning a small-field handicap at Market Rasen in October (2m5f, good; has won over 2m7f) for the last of those wins; his close third of four on his belated return to hurdling last month was an encouraging run and should have teed him up nicely for this; on a fair mark and that's without factoring in his jockey's claim.

Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.

Second in the C&D Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year; went on to finish first and second in handicaps over the extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter at the start of the summer but well below par both starts since a break, latterly at the Cheltenham Festival; combination of first-time cheekpieces and a return to this C&D needs to spark a revival.
