1/1

Comment: Runner-up on two of his three starts since returning from a long absence this spring, latterly when pipped on the post after looking sure to win at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) a week ago; effectively 1lb higher from just out of the weights here but is due to go up another 3lb soon; major player if coping with today's drop back in trip.

Comment: Pulled up on chasing debut in January but, following a break, fared better when second (albeit well held) to revitalised opponent here (2m, good) three weeks ago; moves back up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces today; may still have a bigger run in him.

Comment: Made all to open account at Hereford (2m5f, good) in April, his second chase, and was clear second to a very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; combination of drop back to 2m and first-time cheekpieces (now removed) did not pay dividends here three weeks ago but he's back up in trip today and remains of strong interest.

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: M Bowen Age/Wt: 5/11-4

Comment: £1,500 yearling; fourth foal; dam unraced half-sister to Flat winners at 1m, 9.4f and 1m2f, out of maiden half-sister to top-class filly Cormorant Wood; probably kicking off in a modest race so would command respect if at all strong in the betting.

Comment: Completed hat-trick with ready win on handicap debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) in November; ended 2024 with a lesser effort and was safely held when upped to 2m4f for reappearance in April but may still have potential over this even longer trip.

2/1

Comment: Won twice over hurdles in Ireland last season and made the frame on both starts for James Owen last month, latterly when third of six in first-time visor at Huntingdon (2m, good); goes without headgear here; may still have a bigger run in him for his new stable.

13/2

Comment: Largely consistent 5yo who kept on well to open hurdling account over C&D (good; refitted hood) last month, his 11th attempt, and has since run well in defeat at Fontwell (2m1f, good); likely contender again.

Well Vicky

Jockey: J J Burke Trainer: A Ralph Age/Wt: 8/10-2 F: 4953P- OR: 77

7/1

Comment: Ran very poorly on chasing debut in December and now reverts to hurdling after a 191-day break; on a good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but is not the force of old and others have much less to prove.

14/1

Comment: Dual hurdle winner on good ground in early part of last season; returned form break with quite promising chase debut in April but suffered a heavy defeat last month and now reverts to hurdling with cheekpieces added; has a point to prove.

16/1

Comment: Dual hurdle winner (once over C&D) in 2023; ended 2024 with some below-par hurdle runs but has won on the AW this year and reverts to this code on a tempting mark; could have a say.

20/1

Comment: Looked badly out of sorts during the winter and returned from three-month break with heavy defeat over C&D three weeks ago; on a very dangerous mark now and might be perked up by the refitted cheekpieces but it takes a leap of faith to support him.

Comment: Yet to add to his juvenile hurdle win in 2022 and has not shown a great deal on two appearances for new stable this spring (2m4f/2mf); swaps blinkers for first-time visor here.

Comment: Well beaten when hiked up to 2m7f for handicap debut in December and drops sharply back in trip for this first run since; needs significant improvement but is still worth a glance in the betting; 1lb wrong.

Comment: Still unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was well beaten when 40-1 for recent handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, good); drops back in trip with tongue-tie and blinkers added here.

Comment: Unexposed 5yo who was clear second to Dirty Den over C&D (good) on last month's handicap debut; subsequently sold out of Nicky Henderson's stable for £15,000; obvious contender if in similar form for new trainer.
