Gowel Road (G)
Smart hurdler who gamely landed Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham last January. Good fourth of 6 to Ma Shantou in same 3m contest four weeks ago so he's not taken lightly back in handicap company.

Monmiral (G)

As good as ever over hurdles last season, runner-up in Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham last January. Had a second breathing operation before coming in a remote third of 4 in 3m Ludlow conditions chase so has a bit to prove back in this…

Green Book (G)
Very useful staying handicapper in 2022/23. Off for 33 months before offering little in a pair of 3m handicaps at Sandown and Windsor either side of Christmas. Needs to take a major step forward.

King Of The Lake (G)

Back to winning ways over C&D in December and running with credit off a 5 lb higher mark when fell last in 2m5f handicap at Kempton following month. Ought to be thereabouts.

Keable (G)
Gamely landed 3m Newbury handicap in November on his return and has posted respectable efforts when third over C&D and sixth of 15 at Windsor (3m) subsequently. Mark probably about right on balance.

Firestream (G)
Defied a 2-year absence to land 2m4f handicap at Wincanton in January 2025 and backed it up with a good C&D third 12 months ago on his final run for Anthony Honeyball. This course winner is no forlorn hope for his new yard after another la…

Ambion View (G)
[T1]
Fairly useful hurdler who returned with a pair of good runner-up efforts at Newton Abbot and Exeter before being scuppered by a blunder 3 out when seventh of 10 to King of The Lake over C&D (good to firm) 56 days ago. Since had a wind op (…

Stone's Throw (G)
Scored at Southwell in December and progressed again when following up in 3m handicap at Doncaster 54 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so can make his presence felt in his hat-trick bid despite a 7 lb weights rise.

Lightly-raced son of Westerner who made a winning start over hurdles at Wincanton in 2024. Off 12 months but has improved sent handicapping this winter, scoring at Lingfield before good third of 10 back at Wincanton (3m) last month. Remain…

Gold In The Rivers (G)
[P]
Right back to form following an unsuccessful stint chasing when landing 7-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago, always holding on. 4 lb "wrong" in the weights here, though. NON RUNNER.

Rickety Bridge (G)
Very good runner-up over C&D last February but ended last term out of sorts, pulled up at Newton Abbot (3m2f) final run. Returns from 10 months off here with plenty more required from 5 lb out of the handicap.
