6/1
Out-and-out stayer but winless since 2022 and hard to catch right, going close at Carlisle on return but running poorly in this headgear at Wincanton since.

7/2
Smart novice hurdler in 2022/23. Very lightly raced since and not progressing over fences this season, respectable third of 6 at Kelso 3 weeks ago on handicap debut in this sphere. Up in trip.

3/1
Won Bangor maiden/novice hurdles over 19.5f and 23f last spring. Left return/chase debut there well behind when good second at Doncaster in December but reportedly suffered a breathing problem following month. Seems best away from testing conditions.

6/4
Got off the mark in handicap chase here in December 2024 and first win since when making all at Kelso 3 weeks ago, looking better than ever in first-time headgear. Handicapper hasn't overreacted to that wide-margin success so remains of firm interest again.

12/1
Readily landed conditional jockeys' handicap at Chepstow (26) in October. Decent second at Kempton later that month but not so good next 2 starts, beaten before trip was an issue at Fakenham in December. Headgear on.

Forecasts

Wal Buck's (6/4), Ki Woo (3/1), Maximilian (7/2), Iron Bridge (6/1), Safe Destination (12/1)

Verdict

WAL BUCK'S might have had everything go his way when a wide-margin winner at Kelso 3 weeks ago but the handicapper hasn't overreacted so he's fancied to follow up in this field. Iron Bridge is capable of making a race of it if on a going day.
