Winning pointer who got off the mark over hurdles in novice here (23f) in November. Has posted solid efforts since, seventh in 3m handicap at Musselburgh last time, so should give another good account.
|
On the up since cheekpieces added, scoring at Catterick in January before very good Doncaster second when just edged out after a bad error 2 out. Holds leading claims.
|
Bagged second success in this sphere at Doncaster in January and recorded a good fourth there three weeks ago. Shortlisted off a 2 lb lower mark.
|
Thriving this winter and bagged a third success in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (2m4f) 26 days ago. Up another 7 lb but he merits serious consideration once more.
|
Dual 2m winner at Hexham in 2022 and posted another solid effort when second of 5 at Newcastle (2m4f) 37 days ago. Not ruled out despite taking a 3 lb rise.
|
In excellent form for current yard since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Sedgefield (19.8f) before fourth to Coral Blue in 2m4f Ayr handicap last time. Likely to go well again off an unchanged mark.
|
Fair winner over hurdles who comes here on the back of a good second of 8 in 2m4f Ayr handicap 15 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for first time and ought to be in the shake-up.
|
Off the mark in 2m4f handicap at Hereford (19.7f) in January and largely in good form since, racing wide when sixth at Sandown (2m4f) 18 days ago. Respected.
|
Won at Perth (20f) in September and took a step back in the right direction in refitted cheekpieces when fourth of 12 to Coral Blue at Musselburgh (2m4f) 48 days ago. Not discounted eased 1 lb.
|
Made winning start for this yard at Market Rasen last summer. Rather in-and-out since but not knocked about after 4 months off when seventh at Sedgefield last time. Can take a step forward here.
|
Yet to score this term but largely in good nick, off 3 months before fading fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f) 15 days ago. Can give a good account with that run under his belt.
|
Has taken his form up a level since fitted with cheekpieces, landing 2m4f handicaps at Musselburgh and Ayr. Likeable sort who can go well in his hat-trick bid.

Lots with chances but PRAIRIE WOLF has taken his form up a notch since the cheekpieces went on and can quickly resume winning ways having just been edged out at Doncaster after a late error. The thriving Coral Blue, who beat a few of these at Ayr last time, is next on the list in his bid to record win number four of the season, with We'll Go Again and The Navigator completing the shortlist.
