8/1
Dual 2m/2m3f hurdles winner in 2023/24 and shaped as if retaining his ability after 17 months off (in which he'd had a wind-op) when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 28 days ago, though again finished rather tamely. This should reveal more.

20/1
Bumper winner got off the mark over hurdles in a 2½m Newcastle novice back in January. Shaping well before saddle slipped on his return at Kelso and went a long way to building on that promise up in grade at Ascot last time. Drop in trip not certain to suit, though.

4/1
Plenty of promise in his efforts prior to getting off the mark in an 11-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) 13 days ago, jumping and travelling with plenty of fluency. Opening mark is workable and he's a potential improver now handicapping.

14/1
Bumper winner who was third in 2 maiden hurdles in 2024, showing fair form on the second occasion. Better for run when filling the same position at Chepstow last month after 11 months off but opening mark looks a shade stiff.

Held form well last season after making winning return at Plumpton and shaped with some encouragement at that trick on this season's comeback last month. Drops in trip with first-time tongue strap applied.

On a long losing run and minimal promise to be taken from his efforts in the spring. Opposable returning from 6 months off.

50/1
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and made the frame in 2 juvenile hurdles at Warwick last season. DIsappointing when last seen on the Flat at Newbury though and opening mark likely requires improvement.

5/1
Useful bumper winner and runner-up in a pair of Taunton novice hurdles last winter. Disapponting on handicap debut though and fared no better after a stable switch on return, so now has a bit to prove in first-time cheekpieces.

Opened hurdles account at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in May and has continuted in good form since, finishing well when producing a career-best second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 27 days ago. Shortlisted.

13/8
Smooth-travelling sort was back on the up when scoring in taking fashion at Ffos Las in October and value for extra when recording another impressive success at Kempton 10 days ago. Able to go from unchanged mark and hat-trick looks a real possibility.

Forecasts

Surrey Lord (13/8), Doctors Hill (4/1), Thistle Be The One (5/1), Meatloaf (8/1), Dirty Den (11/1), Non Stop (12/1), Came From Nowhere (14/1), The Gray Ghost (20/1), Balboa (22/1), Midnight Rumble (50/1)

Verdict

SURREY LORD escapes a penalty for last week's Kempton success and Toby Lawes' improving 6-y-o looks up to completing the hat-trick. Handicap newcomer Doctors Hill is also shortlisted, with the in-form Dirty Den another to merit strong consideration.
