Iris Des Issards (G)
[B1]
Got back on track in refitted cheekpieces when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (3m, good to firm) in November. Blinkers the headgear of choice this time and will need to sharpen up his jumping is he's to be thereabouts off the sam…

Moorland Rambler (G)
[P]
Doubled his tally on second start in cheekpieces when winning a 2½m Ffos Las handicap (heavy) in February. Hit-and-miss overall and wasn't on a going day at Chepstow last time but reproduction of his fourth of 17 here on penultimate start …

Robber's Bridge (G)
[H]
Sound record in handicaps for Simon Earle and proved better than ever after 6 months off/in refitted hood when making a winning stable debut at Market Rasen in April. Placed all 3 subsequent starts and it's not hard to envisage this 8-y-o …

It's A Breeze (G)
[H]
Has been held back by headstrong tendencies so far, fading into third on his 20.5f Plumpton handicap debut/reappearance in November and subsequently ran even worse dropped to 15.2f at Wincanton. Still lightly-raced and couldn't be in bett…

Shuil Ceoil (G)
[V1]
Took advantage of reduced mark when striking back in this sphere at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) in January. Decent second at the same course next time and, though below par since, he's a C&D winner and will be a big player if the first-time vis…

Iamcelestialgift (G)
[T]
Well backed when making a winning debut in an ordinary Carlisle maiden hurdle in the spring. However, he has offered little both subsequent starts, including on handicap bow at Taunton last time.

Benignitas (M)
Point winner in January 2023 and showed ability in 2 starts switched to hurdles at Chepstow last season. This stiffer test will be in her favour now pitched into a handicap and while a sizeable step forward is needed, she's certainly not w…

Getaway With You (G)
[TP]
Thrived since a tongue strap was combined with cheekpieces, landing a quickfire hurdles hat-trick with an easy success at Lingfield (19.6f, good) last month. Has continued in form, looking unsuited by drop to 2m at Ffos Las on Thursday.

Directly (G)
Bit of promise when fourth of 8 in a Worcester bumper in September 2024 and while he has cut little ice in 3 qualifying runs in this sphere, it would be no surprise at all were he to take a step forward now upped in trip for this handicap …

Largy Panic (G)
[T1]
Made the frame on last 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't troubled the judge in maiden/novice hurdles. Likely he'll be better off now handicapping but others make more appeal all the same.

Olivia Kate (M)
FAV
[P]
Has tendency to jump left but bounced back from a fall at Ludlow when doubling her tally at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) last month. Lost little caste in defeat when fourth of 10 back up in trip at the same course (20.5f, heavy) recently and s…

Victory Shout (G)

Fairly useful Flat winner but regressive in that sphere last year and little to shout about over hurdles so far. Another who will need to improve markedly now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Prairie Diamond (G)
[H]
Didn't get far on return from 11 months off at Wincanton but didn't shape badly when fourth of 9 on what was essentially his seasonal reappearance at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) last month. One to consider back up in trip off this 2 lb…

Storming Nelson (G)
FAV
Sole career success to date came in a 16.7f novice hurdle here on New Year's Day 2024. It's been a struggle for the most part in handicaps since but he has shown more in 2 starts this season following a wind op and he has to be high on the…

Whatmakes Honey B (M)

Much improved form when winning on handicap debut at Taunton in March. However, she didn't shape with much encouragement on her reappearance at Fontwell and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Weseekherthere (M)

Locked Down Lad (G)

Winner of sole start between the flags and though yet to get his head in front under Rules, he has finished in the frame on each of his 5 starts since switched to handicaps. Entitled to have a say in the finish.

Tom Taggle (G)
Ended last season with a 3m handicap win at Chepstow and, though well held when falling 3 out there on return in November, his jumping was more polished when third at Taunton next time. Each-way claims.
