Two good runs in defeat at 3m before coming down at the Canal Turn in the Topham Trophy; went close to winning this two years ago and that was after a two-month break; definite possibilities, as this mark isn't beyond him; Harry Cobden has won the last three renewals of this race.

He's run pretty well in defeat at Kempton on his two starts this year (3m, good/good to soft); also ran okay when ninth in this last year (good to soft) but beaten nearly 20l and he's just 3lb lower this time around.

Made all for 13l success at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last time, ending a losing run that went back to 2024; still competitively handicapped on historical data and has won at up to 3m; not dismissed.

J: Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard.

Didn't take to fences when tailed off on his penultimate run but he then made all for a 5l defeat of Ukantango over C&D to make it 3-5 over hurdles; a 5lb rise is fair enough with the promise of more to come.

Low-mileage 6yo with 2-4 strike-rate in maiden/novice hurdles last season; tailed off in three-runner race when switched to fences for last month's handicap debut but now quickly reverts to hurdling; should still have potential.

Back from a long absence to justify favouritism at Perth in April (2m4f, good) where she came from off the pace to hit the front when left clear at the last; up 6lb but consistent in the main and wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Back in good form in refitted cheepieces this spring, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) before very respectable third at Hexham (2m7f, good); not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip or the switch back to blinkers but still considered.
