Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: N G McCullagh| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 55| C

14/1

Hurdles winner who opened his account on the Flat here (12f) 12 months ago. Consistent on the level thereafter and whilst below form over jumps on last 2 starts (out of depth latest) he's no forlorn hope returned to this sphere.

Form: 512-834

28/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Lines up here from career-low mark but lesser efforts outweigh the good ones this year.

GARDONE has found some consistency since returned to this surface, opening his account over C&D prior to a pair of solid efforts in defeat. He gets the nod in a wide-open affair. The World's Astage, Dancing Steve and Spinning Web head up the dangers, with Gallo dell Cielo another in the mix.
