Bumper winner hasn't stood much racing but did make a winning hurdle/stable debut at this track (15.7f, soft) in January. Has ran poorly since, including in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when found to have bled on chase debut in May. Record when fresh (2-2) offers some hope on return.
|
Course winner showed much improved form when an impressive winner at Plumpton (19.8f, good to firm) in May of last year, jumping boldly and quickening clear of a subsequent winner. Off since (has won fresh previously) but capable of following up if returning in similar form.
|
Winner of back-to-back 4-runner chases as Plumpton (25.7f) in spring, though typically raced lazily. Drops back in trip with headgear removed and could be worth opposing in his bid for a hat-trick.
|
Progressive over hurdles in the spring. Well held in a better race on chase debut at Cheltenham but was in the process of leaving that form well behind when falling 2 out at Fontwell 18 days ago, likely to have won. One to be interested in provided he's none the worse for that.
|
Consistent over hurdles last season and found improvement to get off the mark on reappearance/chase debut at Lingfield last month. Bred to be a chaser and could have more offer on second start over fences.
|
In fine heart when winning a pair of handicap chases over C&D on soft ground in 2023/24 season but well below form in two starts earlier this year (following an absence). Bit to prove returning on better ground following a further 7 months off.
|
Isn't the most straightforward but arrives in good heart. Runner-up on reappearance at Newton Abbot but again found wanting in the finish when third in a 4-runner handicap at Fontwell last time. Change of headgear/bigger field may help but he comes with risks attached.

Forecasts
Kalif D'airy (15/8), Scorsese (7/2), Joe Cotton (4/1), Sea Invasion (11/2), Toothless (8/1), Pilsdon Pen (14/1), South Omo Zone (18/1)
The returning TOOTHLESS proved a different proposition when scoring at Plumpton last year. He's won fresh previously and is worth a chance to follow up that victory. Scorsese looked the winner when falling on second start over fences last time and rates the main danger, while Kalif d'Airy arrives on the back of a successful chase debut and could yet have more to offer.
- Toothless8/1
