Has shown ability in bumpers/hurdles/Flat maidens in Ireland. Left Andrew Kinirons yard since finishing well held on qualifying run at Downpatrick (2ÂĽm) in mid-July. Needs to improve for the step up in trip on handicap/stable debut.
|
Ran as well as he has over hurdles when 13ÂĽ lengths fourth on handicap bow over C&D in April. Amiss sole subsequent hurdle start and while fit from the Flat, he's been largely well held in that sphere of late.
|
Didn't go with same zest on either start following her handicap chase success at Catterick in February (races off 1 lb lower here). Has had another breathing operation ahead of this first start in 5 months, and the market should prove a helpful guide with 7-lb claimer taking over.
|
Borderline fair chaser for Gary & Josh Moore. Looked unsuited by soft ground on debut for current yard last June. Entitled to need this rare hurdle start following 15 months off.
|
Relatively lightly-raced 5-y-o. Shaped vastly better than previously for the step up in trip when 1ÂĽ-length second over C&D last time, motoring at the line. Type who'll benefit from a strongly-run race (likely with Malangen in the field), and she may well go one better.
|
Successful twice on testing ground last season, including on return from a similar absence at Ayr in December. No surprise to see him bounce back in change of headgear following a break, though we'll probably see the best of him over the winter.
|
Maiden who finished runner-up 6 times over hurdles/fences in 2025. Underwent a breathing operation prior to a disappointing final start for Nicky Richards over fences (let down by his jumping). Tackles this trip for first time over hurdles and gets the nod from Sean Quinlan on stable debut/return.
|
In-form maiden who's hit the frame several times in Irish handicaps, latterly 19½ length fourth of 19 at Galway (2¾m). Could find this less competitive and needs a close look with Sean Bowen booked (stable second with pair of runners here earlier this month).
|
Raced only 3 times over hurdles since her debut success at Hexham for Ben Haslam in June 2024, latterly beaten 8 lengths on belated return to this sphere (winless on Flat in between) at Kelso (2ÂĽm) last week. Again vulnerable for win purposes.
|
Capitalised on career-low mark when surprise winner (66/1) on C&D reappearance in May. Predictably went backwards from that over longer trip here subsequently. Remains to be seen what mood he's in for his 7-lb claimer (can race lazily) following 12 weeks away.
|
Standout effort of last winter came when third at Ayr (3m, heavy). Extended losing run stretching back to 2021 when well beaten at Uttoxeter when last seen on New Year's Eve (has since had breathing operation) and has tended to need his reappearance for present yard.
|
Front-running veteran. Placed 5 times earlier in the summer (including here) but not in same form recent starts. Extended his losing run to seventeen when 7½ lengths fourth of 11 at Cartmel (17f) latest, typically racing clear before being gradually left behind from home turn.

TIGRESS LILLY could be poised to go one better following a much-improved second here last time. Irish raider Gortmore Lady may emerge as the chief threat, while Chief Sunday would be interesting if supported.
