Sunset Hill^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 113

11/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024 but ran well back over hurdles when second of 12 in a C&D handicap (soft, 12/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly back down in grade.

Form: 555U4-2

Kilbarry Hill^t⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 112| D

80/1

Completed a hat-trick in this sphere at up to 23f in late 2024 but 0-5 over fences, running no sort of race in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford on most recent outing. First run for yard after leaving Olly Murphy.

Form: 5/53F54-

Balboa³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Callum Pritchard| T: J W Mullins| OR: 112| D

6/1

Ended a long losing run in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (2½m, heavy, 10/3) 32 days ago. Did it in good style and should remain competitive.

Red Cadillac⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: N G Richards| OR: 111| D

12/1

Progressive sort who showed a good attitude to resume winning ways in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (2½m, soft) in March. An 8 lb higher mark in a stronger race demands more, however.

Form: 326/121-

Thewoodcorner³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 118| D

1/1

Fair 2m Flat winner in France who showed improved form to double his tally over hurdles in 10-runner handicap at Ffos Las (2½m, soft) 37 days ago, suited by increased in trip. Still unexposed and a 6 lb higher mark doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up.

Banderas^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: R P McLernon| T: S England| OR: 110| D

11/1

Southwell maiden hurdle winner over 2½m who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at this course (2m, good) 17 days ago, inadequate test. Step back up in trip sure to suit and he's one to consider.

Form: 5/318-5

That One³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 109| C

22/1

Dual hurdles winner who disappointed with his response to pressure at Newcastle in February and had a rough race prior to exiting on his chasing debut here since.

Form: 21/269F-

Divilabother¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 103| CD

5/1

Successful over C&D last summer and has shaped well both starts back since returning from a break, latterly when 6 lengths third of 15 to reopposing Wee Alki over 23f. Will be better suited by a return to this trip and remains of interest.

Form: 12245-3

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 97| CD

40/1

4-time course winner but lost his way badly when last seen in the autumn and can only be watched at present.

Forecasts

Thewoodcorner (1/1), Divilabother (5/1), Sunset Hill (11/2), Balboa (6/1), Double Digits (8/1), Wee Alki (10/1), Banderas (11/1), Red Cadillac (12/1), Terrorise (12/1), Born Like Me (22/1), That One (22/1), Well Educated (40/1), Kilbarry Hill (80/1)

THEWOODCORNER proved well suited by the step up to 2½m when resuming winning ways at Ffos Las month and a 6 lb higher mark doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up, especially with further progress on the cards. Divilabother has shaped well on both starts since returning from a break and can go well again back down in trip, with Balboa and Sunset Hill others to consider.
