Won this race off this mark in 2025 (good; 2-1 favourite) having run poorly on his previous start; was rather disappointing later on last season and has a bit to prove at present.

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.

Hasn't been running well for a while now, since winning the Summer Plate over C&D in July 2024; too well handicapped to dismiss with confidence, though, and a tongue-tie belatedly returns.

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.

J: Gavin Sheehan

Bought for £82,000 after landing Galway bumper on his debut last October; 2-1, made a promising start over hurdles when fifth of 15 in 2m Wetherby novice last month, nearest finish; capable of better for leading yard and a big 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.

Paddy De Pole

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Paul Nicholls

Completed a hat-trick when winning at Hereford in May 2024 and remained in respectable form for the rest of that year; wasn't one of his better efforts when fifth on comeback at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May, however, and pulled up in a three-runner chase at Worcester (mistakes) last time; last run can probably be forgiven and this return to hurdles is a positive.
