SP 28/1 40/1
5yo who didn't show much at big prices in five hurdle runs (2m-2m3f) in Ireland; now makes debut for new yard and he needs a transformation on this switch to fast ground.

Progressive mare who has form figures of 24121 since joining Joe Tizzard and both of those wins have been at Newton Abbot; 5lb higher than for her success over C&D (good) two weeks ago but she still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve; key player.

Modest form in six Flat runs and he's 0-11 over hurdles; beaten 11l when fifth at Taunton (2m, good; 15-8 favourite) in March but he went close there on his penultimate run and has claims if he recapture that form.

Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Failed to complete in three of his four Irish points; showed some ability on hurdling debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but he's had just two since and has been tailed off in both of them; now goes handicapping but this 9yo has a lot to prove.

7yo who has been beaten 24l or more in his five starts including three over hurdles; this is more realistic on handicap debut but he's taken a strong hold in his last two starts and he needs improvement with hood added.

Six-time point winner who made it third-time lucky over hurdles when scoring on his handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a smooth success and the runner-up has franked that form since; respected.

Runner-up in two Irish points last spring but he's not made an impact in four hurdle runs including in a Ffos Las handicap (2m4f, good; 20-1) this month; still has low mileage but he needs to raise his game back in trip.
