Point winner who showed clear signs of ability over hurdles for Paul Nolan in Ireland. Below expectations on stable debut at Uttoxeter in September, but after 3 months off he was much improved when scoring at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) a week ago. Leading contender.
|
Off the mark at third attempt over hurdles at Fakenham in March and has run well both starts in handicaps this season, seeing his race out thoroughly when second at this course (15.5f, soft) last time. Respected as he goes up in trip.
|
Made a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter in February but well below that level both starts since, returning from 9 months off when well held at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) in November. Has enough to prove at present.
|
Irish point scorer who also landed a Carlisle bumper a year ago. Having been brought along steadily in maiden hurdles, took a step forward sent handicapping when runner-up at this C&D (soft) last month, despite having not been ideally placed. Merits consideration.
|
On the back of a wind op, showed improved form when making all for a first success in a Chepstow handicap in January. However, after 9 months off she ran poorly when pulled up at Ffos Las (21.9f, soft) in November. Needs to leave recent effort well behind (hood left off).
|
Has tendency to jump left but bounced back from a fall at Ludlow when doubling her tally at this course (15.5f, heavy) 24 days ago. That was a career-best performance, though task is now to back up her latest effort returned to this longer trip.
|
Made the frame on last of 3 starts in bumpers but hasn't offered much over hurdles so far, faring no better fitted with cheekpieces when pulled up on handicap debut at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Has work to do.
|
Arrives in good heart, building on a pair of runner-up efforts when winning at this C&D (soft) 4 weeks ago by 4¼ lengths from Smile Back. Possibly helped by sticking to the outside rail in the straight last time, but she could be in the mix once more.
|
Fair form in bumpers but hasn't made much impact over hurdles so far. However, after 7 months off he possibly needed the run making stable debut when fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark.
|
Returned to winning ways on debut for current yard at Plumpton in September but has gone backwards from that effort in 2 subsequent outings, well-beaten sixth of 10 at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) 7 weeks ago. Has had a wind op since.

Forecasts
Jhentong Enki (5/6), Dinofromberlais (9/2), Smile Back (6/1), Olivia Kate (10/1), Strong As Steel (11/1), Stamina Chope (14/1), Tarbuck (33/1), Ruler Of The River (33/1), Pougie (40/1), Walkinthecotswolds (50/1)
JHENTONG ENKI left his stable debut effort behind when scoring decisively in a conditional jockeys event at Lingfield a week ago, so he is taken to follow up able to race off the same mark here. He can get the better of Smile Back, who shaped promisingly on her handicap bow at this C&D last time, with Dinofromberlais also considered upped in trip.
