11st 10lb

J: Lewis Saunders

T: Olly Murphy

Finished fifth with cheekpieces applied at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) for another sound effort in the Martin Pipe; broadly consistent; likely to give his running in the retained headgear.

J: Lewis Saunders

T: Olly Murphy

Hasn't won since November 2024 but he's a broadly consistent sort and posted a cracking effort in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago, beating all bar smart mare Wodhooh who was very well handicapped; only 1lb higher and again has each-way possibilities; wears first-time headgear.

Acts on soft ground; on a 15-month losing spell but is a consistent sort, creditable fourth to Listentoyourheart at Windsor (2m4f) most recently; again has frame possibilities.

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

5-15 over hurdles; began this season with two perfectly respectable runs but was behind Stream Of Stars when third at Aintree (2m4f, soft) last month and needs to find something extra here.

Two wins under Lewis Saunders last November (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/good) and runner-up in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in March; ran okay on return at Newbury last month; could build on that.
