| 6th | 1 | — |
Caramelo Rapido (G)
Remains a maiden and only ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good) 25 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Forest Blaze (G)
FAV
[V1]
Arrives in good nick, third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 20 days ago. This dual 2m4f scorer last term ought to be thereabouts with visor replacing cheekpieces.
|
4-52325 | Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 7 | 76.2 kg |

Sweeper System (G)
Progressive sort who posted a very good third of 9 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Goes up in trip for his handicap debut and must enter calculations.
|
3-653P1 | Thomas Bellamy | S Allwood | 6 | 75.7 kg |

12/1
|
| 8th | 4 | — |
Suspected (G)
Won a Uttoxeter bumper for Tom Symonds in May. Best effort for current yard in this sphere when a very good fourth of 10 in novice at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Should have more to offer still now venturing into handicaps.

Reel Rosie (M)
[TP]
Tried in tongue strap/cheekpieces for first time in this code when a creditable third of 10 in handicap at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) in November. Not dismissed after a break off a 3 lb lower mark.

6-6F593 | William Shanahan | J Candlish | 7 | 72.1 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | — |
Ionity (G)
Got off the mark at Ffos Las in May 2024 but off for 14 months since a good third in 2m4f handicap there. Has his fitness to prove on his comeback run.
|
72/133-3 | Isabel Williams | Evan Williams | 7 | 71.2 kg |

| 7th | 7 | — |
Knacker Trapper (G)
Cheekpieces on for 1st time when only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.
|
5732-92 | Joe Williamson | A Crook | 8 | 70.3 kg |

River Rider (G)
[T1]
Runner-up in a bumper but he has made little impact in half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles. Hard to warm to with tongue tie added.
|
775-F7P | Non Runner | S Allwood | 6 | 69.9 kg |

|
| 5th | 9 | — |
Ruler Legend (G)
Winless since early 2024 and only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f) 42 days ago on his final run for Declan Carroll. More is needed for his new handler.
|
6511-23 | Jack Hogan | G Hanmer | 7 | 69.9 kg |

Eric Carmen (G)
[TP]
Resumed from 9 months off with success at Uttoxeter in December and backed it up with a solid third of 12 in handicap hurdle there (15.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Enters calculations back up in trip.
|

| 4th | 11 | — |
Goguenard (G)
[P]
On a long losing run but he looked rusty after 6 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, soft) 66 days ago. Took this in 2024 too so not dismissed with cheekpieces back on.
|
42-964P | Kielan Woods | D J Jeffreys | 10 | 66.7 kg |

Toby Two Scoops (G)
[B]
Remains winless but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in handicap hurdle here (16f, soft) 27 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a likely player with this step up in trip also a plus.
|
3323P2 | B S Hughes | Micky Hammond | 4 | 66.7 kg |

Diamond Trilogy (G)
Just modest form shown over hurdles and offered little sent chasing when eighth in 2m5f Sedgefield handicap in November. Reverts to this sphere with more required.
|
7-6088P | Non Runner | Mrs Dianne Sayer | 7 | 66.7 kg |

Wor Lad (G)
Maiden hurdler who returned from 9 months off with a solid third of 10 on his handicap bow at Carlisle (17f, soft) 39 days ago. Enters calculations off the same mark.

Mythical (G)
A one-time modest Flat winner but he showed little in 4 starts over hurdles for Simon Whitaker last term. Very hard to warm to for his new handler.

Perfect Arch (G)
[TP]
Long-standing maiden who has some respectable efforts to his name, but chances are he'll again find one or two too good.
