J: Harry Skelton

His three wins this summer have come in uncompetitive affairs (2m-2m4f), though did beat the odds-on favourite in defying a double penalty last time; may need more again returned to a handicap off this mark but he's consistent.

J: Harry Skelton

Won two uncompetitive events this spring (2m4f/2m) and then finished close second to main market rival over about 2m6f here four weeks ago; rated 5lb above Eternal Angel on BHA ratings but that mark may flatter him.

Three hurdle wins at around 2m; has been running well in defeat this summer (2m-2m4f), mostly in a hood but in no headgear last time; cheekpieces now added; others are more compelling.

Three hurdle wins at around 2m; seemed to need his run in May and then rallied to threaten an unexposed winner at Worcester (2m4f, good); that was a solid effort and he's only 1lb higher.

Should be well handicapped but has been below par for a good while now and more new headgear is tried after flirting with a tongue-tie last time; capable but risky.

J: Alan Doyle

Won a Class 2 at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; from 7lb higher) in March 2025, but has failed to match that level of form since (0-9); wasn't beaten too far over C&D (Class 3; fourth of seven) three weeks ago, and a similar effort would give him a shout in this added tongue-tie; 2-10 for Alan Doyle.

Bounced back to form with narrow win at Kelso (2m5f, good) in May but that seems to be his favourite track and he ran poorly here (2m6f) last month; this drop back in trip is not ideal; not the percentage call.

Few secrets left after 41 hurdles starts but back below her last winning mark again, and every outing so far this year has suggested that an extended run of races beyond 3m looks in order now; not without interest.

Won over 2m5f here (good to soft) last March but he's 0-11 since and was a well-held fourth behind Kilmore Rock over C&D last month; now back on last winning mark but she's not easy to predict and others are preferred.
