Weseekherthere^p⁵⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 97

16/1

Winner of a bumper and maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, and she was runner-up on her second start for this yard in a Hereford handicap hurdle in November 2023. However, seen out just twice since (well held on each occasion) and probably best watched sent chasing following 18 months off.

Express Surprise^t²³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 96| BF| D

7/2

Reacted well to a tongue tie when placed on 2 of his last 3 starts in handicap hurdles and progressed further when running out a convincing winner on chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f, heavy) in January. However, mistakes have proved costly both starts since and a more assured round is needed.

I'm Your Buckaroo^b,t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 92

4/1

Modest hurdler, but managed to get his head in front at Plumpton in May (despite hanging badly left) and shaped well when third in a 6-runner handicap on recent chase debut at Fontwell (21.6f, good). Blinkers refitted and he's a big player off the same mark with improvement likely.

Form: 6233-13

King Of Thieves¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85

4/1

Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and shaped well when occupying same spot in a bumper at Ffos Las in March 2024. Hasn't pulled up any trees in 3 runs over hurdles, but Harry Cobden again booked and this 5-y-o may well be seen in a better light now upped in trip for this chase/handicap bow.

Form: 22/85-6

Steal The Moves²⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Liam Harrison| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 82

10/1

Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (May 2024), but has hasn't show much in a bumper/3 starts over hurdles and a big step forward is needed now switched to fences.

Grand Sabre¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 80| D

17/2

Maiden hurdler who left his inauspicious chase debut behind when taking a 5-runner handicap at Warwick (3m, good), jumping far with greater proficiency. However, he has followed that with a couple of low-key efforts and others make greater appeal.

Form: PPP-145

The Big Reveal^p²⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 79

4/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Addition of a tongue strap (discarded here) failed to help eke out any improvement when fourth of 7 at Ffos Las when last seen in February, but he has edged down to a plausible mark and is not without each-way hope.

Form: P57454-

Damekap¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 64

11/1

Runner-up sole outing in points and stepped up on very low-key bumper/hurdles form when third in a 5-runner Fakenham handicap (24.2f, good to soft) on chase debut last month. Again 'wrong' at the weights and while she's not a forlorn hope, it's likely that she'll again find one or two too good.

Form: 9007-63

Forecasts

Express Surprise (7/2), The Big Reveal (4/1), I'm Your Buckaroo (4/1), King Of Thieves (4/1), Grand Sabre (17/2), Steal The Moves (10/1), Ballintara (10/1), Damekap (11/1), Weseekherthere (16/1), Galway Mahler (20/1)

If there's one of these who is holding secrets from the handicapper it's surely KING OF THIEVES, who didn't show much over hurdles but the fact that he was runner-up on his sole start between the flags augurs well ahead of this step up in trip/switch to fences. Furthermore, the 5-y-o again has the services of Harry Cobden and looks well-handicapped judged on his effort in a Ffos Las bumper last year. I'm Your Buckaroo shaped well on his chase debut and is feared most ahead of The Big Reveal.
