Useful bumper scorer who made it 3 wins from 5 starts over hurdles with a decisive success on handicap debut over 2m here in March. Well-held seventh of 10 on 21f Cheltenham but last season's exploits suggest he's not the type to stay down for long.
|
Bumper/hurdle winner but pulled up in 3m course handicap on last month's return from a 590-day absence. Can only be watched this time.
|
Won the EBF Final at Sandown in March 2024 but hasn't progressed as might have been expected since. Showed he retains ability when third on 25f Aintree chase debut/reappearance in November but pulled up at Sandown since and returns to hurdles with a bit to prove.
|
Confirmed reappearance promise with an all-the-way win over 19.5f at Doncaster (soft) 27 days ago. Should remain very competitive off 5 lb higher.
|
Two good placed efforts in handicaps this season. finishing third over 2m here before second over 19f at Haydock. This slightly longer trip again may suit even better. Respected.
|
Won twice in the twice in the first half of the season, latterly a novice handicap at Worcester. Not at best when fifth at Cheltenham in October but his yard is back in better form now. The stable also won this race last season.
|
Fairly useful bumper performer who won maiden/novice hurdles around 2½m last season. Shaped better than the result when fifth of 11 in 3m course handicap on reappearance, fading having still been challenging for second at the last. Hooded first time. Enters calculations back down in trip.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler. Below par in 2 handicap chases this term and reverts to hurdles in a bid to get back on track.
|
Plenty of promise in his efforts prior to getting off the mark in an 11-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, soft) in November. Advanced his form again when third in 2m Wincanton handicap since and interesting now stepping up in trip.
|
Produced a career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft) under Harry Skelton in May but pulled up at Warwick when next seen 6 months later.
|
Good placed efforts in 2m handicaps on 2 of 3 starts this season but will need to raise his game a little for the longer trip if he's to take this.
|
Won novice handicaps at Stratford (2m) and Newton Abbot (18.5f) in the spring. Close second on hat-trick bid in June but run of good form came to a halt when last of 4 at Newton Abbot in July. Off since.

SCORPIO RISING has made good progress in his short hurdle career and is selected to defy an 8 lb rise for Lingfield. I'm A Lumberjack, Peacenik, Andashan and Doctors Hill head the dangers in a competitive handicap.
