10st 12lb

J: James Best

T: Nigel Hawke

Launched handicap career with two comfortable wins on good ground (2m/2m3f; unraced on ground any slower) in April, and ran well in defeat at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; back up in trip here and probably still on the upgrade; must be considered.

J: James Best

T: Jackie Du Plessis

Failed to complete in three of his four Irish points; showed some ability on hurdling debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but he's had just two since and has been tailed off in both of them; now goes handicapping but this 9yo has a lot to prove.

T: Seamus Mullins

Six-time chase winner who returned to form with a rallying second at Taunton (3m4f, good) last month; only 1lb higher here and has claims if he can build on that back in trip.

13-race maiden who has been pulled up in both runs over fences (2m3f) and was tailed off back over hurdles at Exeter (2m, good) last time; opposable.
