Big Lou (G)
[P]
Modest form at best in a handful of starts on the Flat for Archie Watson and offered nothing tried hurdling after 19 months off at Hereford recently. Cheekpieces quickly reached for in this code

Bobby's Nelson (G)
£60,000 Irish point recruit who returned from 22 months off with a promising second in 2m course novice on his hurdling bow in November. Found only one too good again at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) since and remains open to improvement now st…

Giantsgrave (G)
FAV
Walk In The Park gelding who was runner-up sole start in Irish points and went one better making Rules debut when winning 7-runner bumper at Ffos Las in January, powering clear in taking fashion. Failed to land the odds on Lingfield hurdle…

Jackpot Cauveliere (G)
Easily beat only other finisher on sole start in Irish points (Nov 2024) but shaped with only minor promise on his belated Rules debut in a novice hurdle at Warwick in November. Big step forward required.

Jury's In (G)
£65,000 5-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Ben Dundee. Winner of a maiden point in February and showed plenty to work on when fourth of 10 in a C&D maiden …

Karma Police (G)
Bought for £105,000 after winning a 2-finisher point and nearly justified support on Rules debut when a narrow second in a 9-runner bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) in January. Finished a well-held third on his Leicester hurdling debut in …

Off The Jury (G)
Posted some useful efforts in defeat for Alan King last season, notably when second in EBF Final at Sandown in March (changed hands for £250,000 after). Stepped up from his reappearance/stable debut when beaten only by a useful prospect at…

The Moonlight Man (G)
Malinas gelding who shaped better than first time up under Rules when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft, 66/1) 33 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark.

Callum Pritchard | J Tickle | 7 | 73 kg |

Times Are Green (G)
Fair bumper performer who left his hurdling debut well behind when 11 lengths second of 8 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (good to soft) 33 days ago. More needed contesting a better race here, however.

Tom Desjy (G)
£52,000 4-y-o, Zanzibari gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Aime Desjy and prolific French chaser winner Victoire Desjy. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but was well held at Huntingdon on Rules debut last month.

Trade War (G)
Green when failing to meet market expectations on his sole outing in bumpers and was still in need of the experience sent hurdling after 11 months off when fourth of 5 in a novice at this course (15.8f, soft) 60 days ago. Will be suited by…
