Paxtons For Milwaukee Power Tools. Handicap Hurdle

Ended a losing run when scoring over 2m last June. Followed that with creditable placed efforts over this C&D and at Perth but he's entitled to need the run following 10 months off.

Irish point winner who improved after undergoing a wind op last summer, winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso and back-to-back handicaps over this trip at Sedgefield. Further progress needed back from 6 months off but still has low mileage.

Well backed and justified support in fine style starting out in a bumper here last month. Followed-up on hurdles debut at Ayr (2m, heavy) and, with that form working out well (second and third both won next time out), he has to enter calculations give his scope for further improvement.

Multiple scorer for Brian Ellison but out of form when last seen 15 months ago and is likely best watched on debut for new yard.

Three-time hurdle winner during 2022/23 campaign, including twice here. Rather in-and-out in recent months, though, and he's likely to find one or two too good.

Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m, soft) on New Year's Day. However, pulled up at Kelso last time and he's opposable back in this sphere.

:Still looking for first success but took a small step forward when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) in March. Mark unchanged and he's not without each-way hope.

Successful twice in French bumpers and came good over hurdles at Sedgefield (2½m, soft) on Boxing Day. Back on track following several lesser efforts when going close over this C&D last time and he has to enter calculations.

Wasn't at his best on latest start in this sphere in February but he has made the frame on each of his 3 subsequent starts on the Flat. One to consider.

Arrives in good order, finally getting off the mark over fences at Haydock at the end of March. Backed that up when runner-up at Carlisle (24.5f, heavy) next time and he'll be a threat if able to continue the good work returned to this sphere.

Untrustworthy individual who isn't getting any younger and has not been at his best of late. Others preferred.
