Bedmax Handicap Hurdle

On a long losing run but has been running creditably since the turn of the year and caught the eye in a big way in a stronger race at Ayr 4 weeks ago, left with too much to do. Sneaks into a 0-100 now and can go well if belatedly proving his stamina for this trip.

Made all to land a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield over this trip in February, justifying market support. Subsequently backed that up with two runners-up finishes barely 24 hours apart and excuses at Ayr latest. New headgear.

Successful twice in the autumn over 2m but run of good form came to an end when sent off favourite at Perth a fortnight ago. New trip and should stay it.

Successful 3 times on the Flat for yard and capitalised on a drop in the weights back hurdling in 19.3f Carlisle novices' handicap 4 weeks ago. Respected up 4 lb.

Been given a chance by the handicapper but isn't obviously showing any sign that she's ready to take advantage. Cheekpieces go on now.

Modest 7f Flat winner who has shown more in handicap hurdles over this trip the last twice, albeit set plenty to do. Will need a stronger gallop if he continues to be ridden held up.

Modest maiden hurdler (poor jumper) who showed nothing on recent chase debut. Has races in him if his jumping problems can ever be remedied. Cheekpieces go on.

Well held in bumper/3 hurdles. More chance now handicapping but improvement will be needed.

Yet to win although stopped her slide to an extent over C&D a fortnight ago, keeping on from 2f out.
