The winner of two handicaps, the latest at Hereford (2m, good) very decisively despite being headstrong initially; Aamilah Aswat rides again off a 7lb higher mark; respected.
Three-time winner over hurdles and nothing wrong with his most recent efforts in handicaps at top tracks; every chance provided he's straight enough after a lengthy break.
Became disappointing over hurdles for Harry Derham last year and was down the field when returning in 1m4f AW handicap for new stable in March; opposable.
Comfortably beat a big field in a Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) and following run here was too bad to be true; consistent prior to that and should be up to winning races off this sort of mark.
Big player on her form during the first half of last season but neither run this year was anywhere near that level; reservations for now.
Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland; first run over jumps since 2023 when an encouraging fourth at Newbury and can be forgiven his no-show in the Sussex Champion Hurdle; possibilities.
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break with pleasing runs under both codes before struggling in the Sussex Champion Hurdle; this is easier than that assignment.
Won twice on the Flat this year and was competitive over hurdles during the opening half of last year; belatedly tries a hood this afternoon; considered with so little weight to carry.
