J: Fern O’Brien

3m1f winner who has been running well for a while and would have prevailed in another stride over C&D a month ago; up 4lb so has another career-high mark to deal with, but clear claims.

Came good in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt, and returned from break with two good efforts this spring, latterly when third (just behind Jafimgoso) at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago; another to consider.

Looked out of sorts on first two starts this season but was evidently suited by return to more positive tactics when scoring by over 6l over C&D (good) last month; 8lb higher now but not yet fully exposed.

Bumper winner; made quite promising start to hurdling career last autumn but looked out of sorts in two handicaps this spring (3m2f/2m7f) and it takes a leap of faith to support him here.

Better known as a jumper and hasn't won on the Flat since 2023; it's unclear what his latest second here amounts to as only four ran and the odds-on winner bolted up.

My Girl Katie

11st 8lb

J: Conor Ring

T: Grace Harris

2-2 here over fences since returning from a break, latest when staying on best five days ago, taking her tally in that sphere to four, all at about this trip; yet to win in 20 attempts over hurdles, which does temper enthusiasm, and this is a quick turnaround, but she's thriving at present and hard to rule out.

J: Alix Balfe

T: Grace Harris

Largely consistent mare who justified support back from an absence when landing a third chase win last month, her second over C&D; up 5lb but Alix Balfe claims 7lb and she'll likely give her running and be thereabouts.

On a long losing sequence but returned to some form when back from a break and finishing a 12l third of five over C&D 12 days ago, ridden by Rian Corcoran; respected off 4lb lower.

Bashful Boy

Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere.

Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game.

Hinted at ability on hurdles debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but has had just three runs since and been soundly beaten in all of them, latest on handicap debut in May; hard to fancy upped in trip.

Failed to complete in three of his four Irish points; showed some ability on hurdling debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but he's had just two since and has been tailed off in both of them; now goes handicapping but this 9yo has a lot to prove.
