Age: 10 yo Gelding

Pushed out to notch a fourth course win (2m, good to soft; off 5lb lower) last November; pulled up over C&D ten days later, that race reportedly coming too soon; absent since, which must be a slight concern, alongside the prospect of rain; monitor only for the time being.

W: 11st 12lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Sole win from 18 starts came over hurdles at Taunton this time last year; placed from an easing mark on last three starts (twice in cheekpieces) without threatening to play a more significant role; should handle soft ground, but others are more obvious for win purposes.

Age: 6 yo Gelding

Low key on first two starts but better when fourth to an odds-on favourite at Uttoxeter (2m maiden hurdle, soft) in December; off since, and heads straight over fences for handicap debut in a newly applied tongue-tie; let the market offer a guide.

W: 11st 8lb

Age: 9 yo Gelding

Three course wins, the most recent by a wide margin last October (2m, good to soft; off a similar mark); form had dipped this year, but there were positives to be taken from his latest effort when last of four finishers at Chepstow (2m; first-time cheekpieces); soft ground would suit.

W: 10st 13lb

Age: 9 yo Mare

Failed to build on hurdles win at Hereford (2m; mares' handicap; soft) in early 2023; soundly beaten in four starts over fences (2m-3m); easing mark, and has undergone wind surgery (also wears a tongue-tie) since last seen at Warwick two months ago; risky proposition.

Age: 5 yo Filly

Twice placed in points; made all to score unchallenged over C&D (good; second chase run) four weeks ago; that race lacked strength in depth but she's clearly on the upgrade and a subsequent 10lb rise looks merited; high on the shortlist.
