Form & Verdict

Five-time chase winner who posted sound effort when third in quite valuable Class 2 handicap at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; not seen over hurdles since underwhelming handicap debut in January 2020 but ought to be able to win at least one race of this nature this summer.

Form & Verdict

0-8 on the Flat in Ireland but showed some fairly useful form at up to 1m4f last year; made quite promising stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Perth (2m, good) last month and ought to build on that performance here.

Form & Verdict

Out of a mare who was very useful on the Flat and subsequently won a Listed hurdle; kept on for very respectable third on last month's bumper debut at Market Rasen (good); now makes his hurdling debut.

Form & Verdict

Won low-grade 1m4f handicap for Roger Charlton last June and but hasn't really fired for new stable this year and makes very limited appeal on today's hurdling debut; swaps blinkers for first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict

Fair on the Flat when on song, and should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles; ran very poorly on latest outing, though, and is probably best watched on this hurdling debut; tongue-tie fitted.
