20/1

Progressive stayer on Flat who overcame long absence to score on hurdle/yard debut at Doncaster in November 2024. Mixed bag since and completely misfired tried in blinkers (discarded here and cheekpieces refitted) on the level when last seen in October but the ability is there if on a going day.

Form: 1303-8

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 110| BF

4/1

Built on earlier promise to gain first win for current yard in 3m Ludlow handicap in December. Has backed that up with good seconds at Hexham and over this C&D, and there's no reason to think that this 8-y-o won't be on the premises once again.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 107

25/1

Dual hurdles winner during 2023/24 campaign but has offered little in a few appearances over fences since returning from a lengthy absence. Needs to bounce back in a major way returned to this sphere with blinkers on for the first time.

Form: 316/7PP

20/1

Fetched £55,000 after winning the second of 2 starts in Irish maiden points and didn't shape at all badly when third on Rules debut in 2m Uttoxeter novice in November. Safely held both subsequent starts but this 6-y-o could be about to take a step forward now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 41-359

Has Troke²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 102| D

14/1

Signed of last season on a winning note off 4 lb lower mark at Lingfield and positive enough start to present campaign when third of 9 at the same course in December. Wasn't disgraced at Warwick since, despite going in snatches, but he's not one for maximum faith and could prove vulnerable here.

Little Ledgend³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 101| BF

15/8

Fair form when placed in bumpers last term and has gradually got the hang of things since going down the hurdles route, finding just one too good in handicaps at Lingfield and Taunton the last twice. Untried beyond 19.5f under Rules but shapes as though he'll stay this far and bold show likely.

Aire Spray^p⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 99| BF

5/2

Jumped poorly at Wetherby before being sharpened up by first-time cheekpieces (retained) when gambled on second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) in December, finding only a progressive rival too good. 3 lb nudge fair enough and merits respect for last year's winning yard.

Form: 135-642

Ribeye⁸⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Callum Bewley| T: P Atkinson| OR: 99| C

40/1

Veteran who hit the target twice over fences in 2025 but good run of form came to a halt last time and this will be his first hurdles start for the best part of 3 years.

Form: 123127

Seahouses³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁵⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 93| CD

15/2

Back to winning ways over C&D in November and latest third in another handicap here last month was a creditable effort. Down 1 lb and he's not without each-way hope.

Forecasts

Little Ledgend (15/8), Aire Spray (5/2), Tzarmix (4/1), Parish Quiz (7/1), Seahouses (15/2), Smile Back (10/1), Has Troke (14/1), Campaign Trail (20/1), U S Marshall (20/1), El Saviour (25/1), Ribeye (40/1)

The vote goes to LITTLE LEDGEND, who has been threatening to come good of late and may well do just that now faced with a stiffer test. Aire Spray will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his latest Newcastle second, while top-weight Campaign Trail is also shortlisted, along with Tzarmix and Parish Quiz.
