J: Darragh O’Keeffe

T: John Joseph Hanlon

Four wins in Britain, best on AW; reached a peak rating of 85 after two Kempton wins last year; not at his best in recent months; however, he is race-fit and the bar is set low for his hurdles debut; interesting.

Three wins in 2025, the last two over this trip at Kempton; yet to match that form after three starts this year, though, and didn't find that much after travelling well at Kempton (1m3f) on Monday.

J: Harry Reed

A modest 1m2f Flat scorer in April; 40-1, hinted at promise with fifth of nine in novice over C&D on hurdling debut last month; can build on it here.

Record of just 1-20 on Flat, the success in Class 6 handicap over 1m2f in April; form dipped last time; brings limited potential to this change of code.

Fair Flat racer who posted the best of his three hurdle runs when second to a fairly useful rival at Huntington (2m, good to firm) in May; not seen since but enters calculations.

Fair Flat racer who won over 1m4f on Polytrack last autumn; began hurdling career with respectable third of four at Fakenham (2m, good) last month and didn't run badly before weakening into fourth at Hexham more recently; holds each-way claims at least here.

J: William Buick

T: Faye Bramley

Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better.

Has rather a mixed record (had wind surgery in January) but latest start was a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month; back up 4lb but has to be considered.

J: Sean Levey

T: Faye Bramley

Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (1m, good) in May but slow starts can be an issue and he's been well held in his last two runs; didn't get much luck at Nottingham last time but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive.

J: Oliver Carmichael

T: Faye Bramley

Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off.
