Not taken to hurdles in a few runs lately; yet to finish placed on the Flat either and still has to prove his stamina over this far, so it's not easy making a case for him.

Showed some promise last season, including on the AW; got off the mark when neck-winner of a 1m6f handicap at Nottingham last time (good to firm; 20-1); up 3lb; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form.

All four wins at Lingfield, three on Polytrack and the latest on turf (1m5f) in June; beaten favourite on all three turf starts since but remains in form; may have more to offer back on AW.

Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; better form when runner-up both starts since, latterly over 1m6f here on good to firm; should give another good account.

Positive start for the Charlie Clover yard, readily landing a small-field affair at Lingfield (1m5f, good to firm) in June; beaten favourite but bettered that winning RPR when second (well clear of rest) at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; gets the vote.

Form & Verdict
Made all in a six-runner renewal of this race last year off a 1lb higher mark (good to firm); not in the same form this time, but this may well have been the target and she ought to fare much better.

Capitalised on a reduced mark at 33-1 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in August; well beaten at Ripon since but on soft going; won here (1m6f, good to firm) last July and she's not ruled out now back on better ground.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Ben Case

Last year's winner (Jack Nicholls aboard); had struggled thereafter until springing a 33-1 surprise on AW at Lingfield (2m; from 3lb lower) a fortnight ago; no issues with good to soft/soft, so she has to enter the reckoning.

Form & Verdict
Regressed over hurdles since well held in two Flat starts last August; ran poorly in one previous try in a visor (usually wears cheekpieces), so positives are thin on the ground.

Last won at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) in May 2025; while not so good over the last year, he has gone down the weights and third of six to The Great Escape over C&D (his first run beyond 2m5f) last time gives him a place chance.

Won off 10lb higher at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last May but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 10l back on the Flat (1m6f) two weeks ago; has lots to prove and this is his first run beyond 2m5f.

8 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark.

Began this season with two good efforts in May (1m4f/1m6f) and is well handicapped if judged on those but was soundly beaten on last two starts and comes here with a point to prove; blinkered last time; usual cheekpieces now refitted.
