J: Jack Kennedy

T: Olly Murphy

Notched a first win for current yard when asserting late on at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) in January and backed that up when second of eight at Kelso (2m5f, good) six weeks ago; Sean Bowen prefers Hold The Serve but this 5yo brings unexposed potential now he's stepping up in trip under Jack Kennedy.

Lightly raced 5yo; notched a first win for current yard when asserting late on at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) five weeks ago; still unexposed and a 4lb higher mark does not look insurmountable.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Won 2m heavy-ground maiden on debut for Gordon Elliott over a year ago and has finished runner-up in both runs for this stable since switching to handicaps this season, most recently at Hereford (2m3.5f, soft) last month; likely to be in the thick of it again.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Olly Murphy

Won Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) for Gordon Elliott in February and kept on well for close second on last month's seasonal/stable/handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft); this race is more competitive but he can improve over the longer trip.

J: Mr Tom Hutsby

T: Olly Murphy

Looked good in winning a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in these colours for Gordon Elliott but underwhelming afterwards, albeit he did contest a Grade 3 second time out; unexposed ahead of this handicap debut and best to let the market guide; Tom Hutsby claims 10lb.
