Clondaw Royale (G)
FAV
Winner at Haydock (24.3f, soft) in December 2024 and, after 6 months off, took a step back in the right direction when third in latest renewal of the same race (good). Could be in the mix from a handy mark with softer conditions to suit.

Farmer Jimmy (G)
Sole success came at this course (19.7f) in February last year and returned to form when runner-up over C&D in November. However, possibly amiss when pulled up at Uttoxeter 22 days ago, so bounce back called for at this venue.

Bollin Thou (G)
[P]
Continues to go the right way in handicaps for current yard, having little trouble completing the hat-trick when landing the odds at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) 3 days ago. May not have stopped improving yet so he's the one to beat.

Ballin Bay (G)
Had been struggling for form (including over fences) following his Kelso success, but shaped well back hurdling on stable debut when third at this C&D (good) in March. However, after 7 months off he was pulled up at Hexham in November. Nee…

You Did (G)
Has benefited from his stamina being brought more into play, getting off the mark in handicap at Hexham (20.1f) in October and proving determined when doubling his tally at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) last time. Can make his presence…

Theatre Light (M)
[T]
Point winner who made a promising start over hurdles when second in a Carlisle maiden (19f, good) in April. Has gone the wrong way since, though, faring no better after a wind op/in first-time tongue strap when down the field at Kelso (18.…

Glory Hights (G)
[P1]
Proved consistent sent handicapping over hurdles, opening account at Carlisle (24.6f) last season and in the frame 3 of next 4 outings. However, pulled up in 2 starts over fences this term and failed to revive back hurdling at this C&D las…

Cuillin Ridge (G)
[V1]
Bred for longer trips and, ridden more positively on his second handicap start, took a step forward when fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (19.6f, soft) in December. Visor now added and he could still have more to offer upped in distance.

Without a win but shaped better than on first 2 starts in handicaps when fourth of 9 at Market Rasen (23.1f) in June. Stepped up on recent run when filling the same position at Catterick (25.3f, good) 3 weeks ago, though more needed if he'…

Fancy Nancy Pants (M)

Bred to stay well and, having slipped in the weights, showed more than previously when third behind a pair of unexposed types in 16-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) in December. Task is now to build on latest effort from 2 lb out of weig…
