11st 3lb

J: David Noonan

T: Henry Oliver

Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance.

J: Jack Tudor

T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero

Well below best during five-race campaign last season but took step back in right direction when third over fences at Bangor (2m1f, good) two months ago; remains on good mark for this hurdle return and could plausibly be better suited by this sort of trip nowadays; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

J: Toby Wynne

Well below best during five-race campaign last season and absent since pulled up on soft ground in February; had wind surgery the following month, though, and ought to be better suited by the forecast quicker conditions here; too well handicapped to rule out; swaps visor for refitted blinkers.

J: Gavin Sheehan

Bold-jumping front-runner with seven chase wins, four under Gavin Sheehan; didn't get to the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month and never threatened the winner but shaped as though still in form; remains 7lb higher than for his latest win but could prove hard to catch if allowed an easy lead.

Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) last year and was runner-up in all his three handicaps (1m7f-3m) in 2026; has joined the Skeltons for £22,000 and had wind surgery; now goes over fences and he has the scope and pedigree for it; Harry Skelton's chosen one from three stable runners.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls

Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who built on a solid sequence of placed form in staying handicap hurdles when switched to fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago, jumping soundly and finishing second to a Dan Skelton-trained favourite; main concern is the forecast rain, as he has been confined to good ground.

Landed his second win over fences, at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February with the assistance of first-time cheekpieces (retained since); ran well when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April but emptied quickly at Warwick last month; claims if putting his best foot forward.

Hasn't always needed as many as two runs back to hit his straps, so arguably has a bit to prove now having posted only well-beaten thirds on his two starts this summer; has returned to his last winning mark, though.

Long in the tooth and rather inconsistent nowadays but only 2lb higher than for course win (2m5f, good) in October and might have needed the run when well-held third (behind Two To Tango) over that trip here last month; could have a say.

0-8 over hurdles but made the frame on all three starts since switched to handicaps, most recently at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f; just in front of Estacas) in June with a tongue-tie added; looked hard work there and cheekpieces are now tried, but Sean Bowen returns and he's a leading contender.
