Fair form when making the frame in 2 maidens at Leipzig in 2024/25. 4-time winner over hurdles last year, including a listed juvenile event at Aintree in December, before facing a stiff task in Grade 1 Anniversary Hurdle back at Aintree 13 days ago.

52,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon mare. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner Galapiat out of smart winner up to 11f (2-y-o 7f winner) Lady Jane Digby. Has a fair standard to aim at on her belated debut.

Cranachan⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

4/5

Well-bred type who was in need of experience on debut. After 13 weeks off (gelded), left that effort behind upped in trip when second of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1½m) in March. Leading contender with further improvement to come.

Form: 6-2

(2)

Mythical Valentine⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

13/8

Down the field both starts last year, but upped further in trip he showed a lot more when third of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1½m) in March, a length behind Cranachan though clear of the rest. In the right hands to continue progressing.

Form: 95-3

(5)

King Of Roses²¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

66/1

Half-brother to several winners but missed the break and was always behind when last of 7 in 1m novice at Ayr in September. Looks to face a tough ask up in distance after 7 months off (has been gelded).

Form: 7-

Forecasts

Cranachan (4/5), Mythical Valentine (13/8), Lord (17/2), Tide Lines (25/1), King Of Roses (66/1)

CRANACHAN was much improved from his debut when only narrowly denied at Kempton last month and he can continue his progress to get off the mark. He finished a length ahead of Mythical Valentine last time and is taken to confirm the placings, while Lord has developed into a fairly useful hurdler since last seen on the level.
