Comment: Four-time Flat winner who was placed on the last four of his five hurdling starts, most recently when close second in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month; should be fine over today's shorter trip and has another big role to play; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers.

Comment: No match for comfortable winner when second at Ffos Las (2m6f, good) last month but the form of her third at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) two starts ago looks pretty solid in this context and, now dropped back in trip, she's a leading contender.

Comment: 4-8 over hurdles; took form to whole new level last month, winning comfortably on consecutive outings at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good; cheekpieces refitted last time); 3lb ahead of the handicapper under penalty she carries for the latter success and makes obvious appeal in current mood.

Comment: Lightly raced over last couple of years and absent since well-held third over fences in November (didn't jump well enough); yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip but switches back to hurdling on a tempting mark; dangerous to ignore.

Comment: Yet to make any further progress since his maiden hurdle win at Musselburgh (2m1f, soft) in April 2024 and was pulled up in 2m4f handicap there when tried in blinkers (now removed) in February; needs four-month break to have done him good.

Comment: Low-mileage 6yo who won a Warwick maiden (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last April; absent since two lesser efforts last June/July, though, and makes handicap debut with no headgear; very weak in betting at 33-1 when withdrawn from last month's intended reappearance (bolted before start); stablemate Liverpool Knight looks much safer.

Comment: Unable to justify strong market support but stuck to her task very well when second on stable debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; that was her first run for nearly a year and today's move back up in trip looks the right move; must be considered.
