Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts.

T: Ryan Chapman

Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland but on a losing run now and, although he ran better when third of four finishers at Exeter recently than he had on his yard debut there, a few more pounds off his back wouldn't go amiss.

Beaten under 10l when seventh in recent C&D (good) contest won by Cogital and continues to slip down the weights, but has not been firing on all cylinders in recent months and needs to up his game.

0-13 over hurdles but bounced back from a poor run when close third of six over C&D (good) 11 days ago and remains on a good mark; no surprise if he's on the premises again.

Has a modest strike rate of 1-30 under rules; not disgraced in two runs over hurdles for this yard and has another go over fences after failing to take to this discipline previously; others preferred.

Had modest strike-rate when based in Ireland but belied 40-1 odds when very respectable third on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and has possibilities if able to build on that performance.

Saucats

Off the mark at the 25th attempt with a comfortable C&D success ten days ago; a 3lb rise looks fair and a repeat would make him a major player, though his overall profile remains patchy.

Went close at Exeter (2m7f, good) in April, but has very mixed record for current stable since the autumn; well beaten over 2m4f on latest outing and now 0-14 over hurdles; not the percentage call.

Still a maiden and has unconvincing form for current yard; weakened into modest fifth over C&D most recently; best watched unless the betting suggests a resurgent effort is likely.

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.
