CopyBet Daily Profit Boost Handicap Hurdle

Three-time hurdle winner continued his run of good form when second at Ludlow (21f) last time, travelling best but not quite lasting out over a slightly longer trip, and another good account is expected.

Maiden placed 3 times here last summer but lost his way over hurdles. Fared no better for headgear and a switch to fences at Wetherby in late March, though worth checking if the market hints at a revival on return to this track.

Much improved on the back of a breathing operation, following up his Hereford success with consummate ease in a 3-runner handicap at Huntingdon on Tuesday, and a further penalty is unlikely to prevent the hat-trick.

Landed the first leg of a double under Sean Bowen at this track in September. Probably still working his way back to full fitness when down the field at Ffos Las last time and now only 1 lb above his last successful mark. Has had breathing operation.

Lost his way for David Bridgwater in 2023 and went with little immediate promise on first start for new connections at Stratford following a 29-month absence.

Hasn't recaptured his Irish form in 3 starts over fences for new connections, running poorly on return from 5 months off at Uttoxeter latest.

Got off the mark on second start for her new yard at Fontwell last May but clearly hasn't been the easiest to train, pulling up on return from an 11-month absence in late-March.
