Race-fit off the Flat when a battling winner over a little shorter at Worcester a month ago (visor back on) and looks a good thing to give his running once more off 4lb higher; respected.

J: Harry Cobden

T: James Owen

Easy winner over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) last November and he recorded his fourth Flat win when scoring at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) in April; wasn't beaten far back there 12 days ago and he still has potential for further progress in this sphere; interesting contender back over hurdles.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player.

Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to.

Well beaten in latest qualifying race (raced too freely) but her midfield finish at Kempton (2m, good to soft) two starts ago was promising, and her pedigree suggests she'll be suited by this hike up in trip on her handicap debut.

Steady progress since joining this trainer, resuming winning ways over 2m here (good; 7-2, with Malangen third) latest; raised 7lb since, and tackles 2m4f for the first time; noteworthy that Patrick Mullins travels over from Ireland to ride.

Built upon satisfactory stable debut and ran big race before weakening into third at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; remains on a good mark and should cope with the forecast slower ground here; likely contender.

Prolific in 2022-23 but just one win in her last 29 starts, gained over this C&D but off 5lb lower; mostly consistent without threatening this year, and minor honours likeliest at best.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.

Only sixth when favourite for handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March and signed off for Jedd O'Keeffe with a poor Flat run in May but joined Dan Skelton for £21,000 soon afterwards and was quickly given a wind op; interesting to see what new trainer can do with him.

Has made the frame twice over hurdles and ran as though the run was needed when seventh of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 15 days ago following a six-month break; steps up in trip and has dropped to a career-low mark; should not be far away.
