J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Gordon

Placed in four of five starts in Ireland last year; made an inauspicious stable debut at Worcester in August but he was set to post a much-improved effort when in the lead but falling two out here (21.5f, good) four weeks ago; got a 4lb rise for his troubles but still looks a key player.

Performed poorly on last month's stable debut, after a layoff, and is now 0-15 over hurdles but he ran well in some big-field handicaps in Ireland last year and may yet come good for Chris Gordon.

Placed in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) on debut in November but safely held on first two hurdling starts, more recently when fourth over C&D (heavy) a fortnight ago; improvement required.

Sole win came in a French chase back in 2022 and has shown little off a steadily declining mark in recent times; needs the change of stables to spark a revival.

Has had just the one win, gained in a French chase back in 2022, and there's little in recent hurdle form to suggest he's about to add to that; 6lb out of the handicap.

Fair Flat maiden but yet to progress over hurdles and has often raced too keenly, though was a bit more tractable back at 2m last time without ever getting involved; hood removed now back up in trip and may do better at some point, but she remains a work in progress for now.

A fair Flat maiden for Harry Eustace but she's failed to kick on in this sphere, pulled up on her handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f) last month; she may still do better, though, if becoming more tractable.

Beat two others to win a 3m point in May; inconsistent in four subsequent runs over hurdles but she was placed at Newton Abbot (about 2m5f) in July and again over that C&D (also good) four weeks ago; possibilities if she's on a going day.

Won a point in May but is 0-13 under rules; showed ability when runner-up over C&D (good) in July but ran poorly at Worcester since; the return to this track may spark a return to form.

Best effort when switched to a left-handed track for a 2m5f handicap at Fontwell in May last time and, although this drop back in trip is not an obvious plus, he remains unexposed and open to improvement.

Jumped left throughout and was beaten about 60l on recent handicap debut at Exeter (2m2f, good); this switch to a left-handed track is an obvious move but he needs to take a big step forward over the new trip.
