Happy 50th Birthday Andrea Brennan Handicap Hurdle

Capitalised on the ease in grade when scoring at Huntingdon (20.6f) in March and was bac to form when third at Sandown recently. Jumping can't always be trusted but he's worthy of respect.

Point winner who overcame lingering greenness to make a successful start over hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in July. Bettered that form both starts since, resuming winning ways in a 5-runner novice at Fontwell a couple of months ago, and opening mark looks lenient.

Winning Irish pointer and most progressive over hurdles for Olly Murphy, getting the hat-trick up in a novice at Wetherby 45 days ago. Picked up for £58,000 by new connections and can continue the good work.

Looked promising in spring 2023 for Thomas Mullins and may have needed outing, back from 18 months off, when seventh at Ascot (15.7f) on debut for new yard 28 days ago. This run should reveal more.

French import who was firmly on the up when last seen, signing off with another win at Southwell 7 months ago. Should be well prepared for this by shrewd yard and there may be more to come.

Hurdles winner for Margaret Mullins but only fourth in a novice on debut for this yard and has been off a further 14 months since, so others are more appealing.

Long time without a win and hasn't fired yet this season, so others are more persuasive.

Fairly useful stayer on Flat for Jessica Harrington. Bought for 65,000 gns in December and went 2-3 over hurdles when landing the odds in a 2m1f mares' novice at Cartmel in May. Not in same form since returning but too soon to write off.
