Ami Bondhu (G)
[P]
Posted best effort of the season, in first-time cheekpieces, when creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 14 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is one for shortlist.

Glengolly (G)
[PT]
Gained his breakthrough success at Hereford in December and backed it up with a very good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) later that month. Likely undone by extreme conditions at Ffos Las since and can't be ruled out.

Minella Kaiser (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who has acquitted himself well over fences the last twice, latest when second of 6 in handicap chase at this course (25.7f, soft) 14 days ago. Can race off same mark, back over the smaller obstacles, and must enter cal…

Amalfi Skyline (G)
[H]
Won over fences two years ago but absent since second of 7 in handicap hurdle over C&D 21 months ago when flattered by proximity to eased-down winner. Market can guide on reappearance/first run for new yard.

Smith (G)
[B]
Successful 8 times on the Flat (modest handicapper stays 2m) but yet to make any significant impact over hurdles and not seen in this sphere since pulled up here in April.

Junior Des Mottes (G)
FAV
[P]
Opened account over hurdles, on second start for new yard, when readily taking 5-runner handicap at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) 10 days ago. 7 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.

The Last Drop (M)
Made the frame on first 2 starts over hurdles in May 2024 but hasn't found any improvement sent handicapping this season, well-beaten sixth at Doncaster (19.4f) latest. Tries longer trip now.

Engaging Sam (G)
[P]
Returned from 8 months off in November but again showed nothing in two runs since, finishing tailed-off fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (33/1) 72 days ago. Remains hard to fancy. 1 lb out of the weights.

Court One (G)
Modest maiden hurdler who showed a bit more when second in a pair of novice handicaps at end of last year. Below that level at Lingfield latest, however, and others are more convincing. 3 lb out of the weights.
