OR: 119
Useful Flat racer who delivered on earlier hurdling promise when winning easily at Chepstow (2m, good) in April; stopped quickly and was turned over at short odds at Aintree the following month (reportedly made a respiratory noise) but will be hard to beat if all is well here.

17th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer who took well to hurdling last season and, having finished second in a Listed race, opened his account in this sphere with easy success in Chepstow maiden (2m, good) three weeks ago; obvious contender. |

10st 10lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for previous stable and chased home notable rivals in first two attempts over hurdles; struggled in the Boodles at Cheltenham most recently (had wind surgery since) but holds leading claims back down markedly in class. |

4 yo Gelding
OR: —
Fairly useful Flat racer who won modest Cartmel maiden (2m1f, soft; main market rival disappointed) in a canter on hurdling debut in July; has 7lb penalty to shoulder today but it's very hard to gauge the limit of his hurdling ability.

6 yo Filly
OR: —
Course bumper winner who bettered her inauspicious hurdling debut when clinging on gamely to win mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; has more on her plate against males here but is open to further progress and ought to give a good account under her penalty.

17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won good-ground Stratford bumper in summer 2022 but was absent for a long time before last month's very underwhelming hurdle debut; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |

5 yo Mare
OR: —
Not disgraced when midfield in Uttoxeter novice (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, her second hurdling start, but needs to take another big step forward here.

Tailed off in two bumpers this year, the latest at Hereford in March; half-sister to a 2m5f hurdle winner but she needs a transformation on this switch to jumping. |
