Course winner in 2022; had hinted at promise this season until beating only one in 2m2f handicap here in October; returns after wind surgery now.

T: Michael Gates

Gained two of his five hurdling wins over C&D (both in sellers) but the latest was in October 2022; ran well to a point in two recent 2m6f handicaps here (wore blinkers; doesn't today) and may benefit from this drop back in trip but younger rivals appeal more.

Three years since his last win and a 10yo now; opposable with the way he has been running of late (latterly tried in this headgear combination).

T: Michael Gates

Eight-time winner but not since October 2022; suited by this C&D and too well handicapped to rule out but was pulled up on last two outings (hurdle/chase) and can't be supported with any confidence; has often worn cheekpieces; blinkers are a first; tongue-tie refitted.

2-7 over fences, though both those wins were in 2022; promising hurdles return from a long absence in July but he was pulled up the following week when possibly finding that run coming soon enough; back over fences with a bit to prove.
