Secret Trix (G)
[T]
Fairly useful at best but out of form over hurdles this season, well beaten under this conditional river previous 3 starts. Dropped to a handy mark as a result and worth noting for support down in grade.

Sunshine Diamond (G)
FAV
[P]
Two-time 3m novice winner over hurdles in 2024 and bounced back to something like this best (returned to positive tactics) when runner-up in a 3m2f handicap at Warwick on New Year's Eve, travelling with zest. Isn't fully exposed and could …

Bridge North (G)
[P]
Quirky sort (fairly useful at best for Henry Daly) ran his best race for James Owen when runner-up at Southwell (24.3f) but underlined he's not one for maximum faith when pulled up at Doncaster 11 days on. Remains to be seen if he's on a g…

Ramo (G)
Fairly useful at best but struggled in a light campaign last season (including fences) and likely needed his reappearance at Chepstow in December. Down in grade/below his last winning mark now but we haven't seen the best of him for over 2…

Gold In The Rivers (G)
[P]
Fairly useful for Gordon Elliott but mixed record over hurdles/fences for current yard, again failing to build on promising chase debut when pulled up in first-time blinkers (also first start since wind surgery) at Newbury. On a workable m…

Outer Banks (G)
[T]
Made frame in points and quickly left behind maiden form upped in trip on handicap debut, winning 12-runner handicap hurdle in first-time tongue tie (retained) at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) in February. Has won off a break previously and has …

Circuit Breaker (G)
Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) who quickly lost his way over hurdles following promising debut win at Kempton (21f) in October 2024. However has confirmed himself in good heart with pair of seconds on all-weather this winter and int…

Campaign Trail (G)
[PT]
Progressive stayer on Flat who overcame long absence to score on hurdle/yard debut at Doncaster in November 2024. Mixed bag since, latest when running too badly to be true in blinkers on Flat in October. Has a good record fresh though and …
