He Knows Better¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 111

7/2

Got off the mark over hurdles in novice at Fontwell in May 2024 and may well have made a winning return from an absence over fences but for falling 2 out in Haydock handicap 19 days ago. Open to progress for a yard enjoying a good spell.

El Saviour^p1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 111

22/1

Dual hurdles winner during 2023/24 campaign offered little sent chasing after long absence at Wetherby (3m, soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces are also added now. Can only watch.

Form: 10316/7

Petty Cash³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 111| C| D

7/2

Gained a first win in this sphere (on the back of breathing surgery) in 3m handicap at Chepstow (3m, good) last November. Not seen again until a fine second back there (19.5f) this November. Former course hurdle winner. Has to enter calculations.

Form: FP3/21-2

Baby Sage³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 110

10/1

Bumper winner who posted a career-best display when successful in novice handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.5f) last December. Off 10 months, going okay when eased and pulled up after 3 out on C&D chase debut 30 days ago (found to have bled).

Form: 23/316-P

Night Duty^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| D

14/1

Got off the mark over hurdles in 21.5f Exeter handicap in March. Could only manage a well-held fifth on chase debut/reappearance but the fact he won a point earlier in career suggests he can make an impact in this sphere. The cheekpieces worn for hurdle win are refitted.

Form: 53521-5

Impatient^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 108| BF| D

11/1

Won 3m Ffos Las handicap last November. Back from a break with a creditable second at Uttoxeter (3m) in October but not in the same form when fifth back at Ffos Las since.

Form: 4F3-425

Realisation^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 106

13/2

Two creditable in-frame efforts since returning from wind surgery and ought to be competitive again.

Form: 2853-43

Thruthelookinglass³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 105

5/1

Has been very lightly raced in recent times but returned from another break with an encouraging third of 7 on 2½m Warwick chase debut 33 days ago. Open to progress with the return to around 3m in his favour.

Form: 2U53/4-3

Swift Jet^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 102

14/1

Fair maiden hurdle who left a disappointing reappearance behind when third of 7 in 3m Ludlow handicap in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 19 days ago. Chase debut (fourth in point at start of career).

Form: 5366-P3

Mixedwave²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 97| CD

12/1

Dual C&D winner in early 2024 who added to his tally in 3m Wetherby handicap in March. Creditable third of 7 on Market Rasen reappearance 26 days ago. Merits respect at course which evidently suits.

Form: 755P1-3

Zacony Rebel^b,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 94| CD

22/1

C&D winner on soft 15 days ago but that 2-finisher race very much fell apart and he's likely worth opposing faced with a much more competitive scenario now.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P Gundry| OR: 93

25/1

Showed a bit in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles in 2023/24. A point background suggests handicap chases should be his thing but a watching brief has to be the percentage call after 682 days off.

The return to a longer trip should play to the strengths of THRUTHELOOKINGLASS who is given a chance to build on a promising first attempt over fences at Warwick last month. Fellow once-raced chaser He Knows Better would have been involved in the finish but for falling 2 out at Haydock and is feared most ahead of Petty Cash, who hasn't finished out of the first 2 over fences when completing.
