Dirty Den (G)
[H]
Only recent below-par effort was at this course without his usual hood in December. Doubled tally for the season in 6-runner handicap over 20.5f at Plumpton (9/2) just over a fortnight ago and should remain competitive despite a 6 lb rise.

Mammies Boy (G)
[T1]
Won 3 of his last 5 starts over hurdles and confirmed the promise of his reappearance when successful at Warwick (11/4) 10 months ago, keeping on to lead close home. First run for new trainer and wears first time tongue strap. Big shout if…

Duffry Trixs (G)
Second in an Irish point and built on promise of his hurdling debut effort when winning a Taunton maiden (19f) this time last year. Encouraging return when third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (23f, good) in December but when backwards from…

Kiwi Rush (G)
[T]
Winner of the second of his 3 starts in bumpers but hasn't yet hit the heights as a hurdler, sent off odds-on but only third of 11 in a novice hurdle at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. Switch to a handicap could elicit some improvement as he heads bac…

The Long Walk (G)
Inconsistent in handicaps, finishing third of 8 at Market Rasen on good ground in December before being pulled up at Huntingdon on soft last month. Hard to have much confidence as to which version will show.

Le Soleil Reve (G)
FAV
Lightly raced and has made a sound start to life in handicaps with a couple of runner-up efforts, latest in 12-runner event over C&D 6 weeks ago. That looked strong form for the grade and it's surely a matter of time before he goes one bet…

Bright Legend (G)
[T]
Raced too freely on all 3 starts for current connections, most recently when fifth of 17 at this track in a maiden hurdle (5/1) 4 weeks ago. Reapplied tongue strap needs to help him settle better and Harry Cobden replaces a 5-lb claimer. I…

Escapologist (G)
[P]
Made a winning stable/hurdling debut at Fakenham 13 months ago but failed to kick on. Offered some respite from the handicapper and showed promise after 8 months off when fourth of 15 at Huntingdon (16/1) last month and worth a second look…

Mini Mildred (M)

Modest Flat winner who also scored on her hurdles debut at Les Landes in June 2024. Flattered on first 2 starts over fences this season and well out of her depth at Newbury last month. Returns to the smaller obstacles with plenty to prove …

Hans Lippershey (G)

Laughing John (G)
Back from 8 months off (had breathing operation) when winning 3-runner handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) in December. Entitled to build on that and is one for shortlist nudged up just 2 lb.

Ended time under Gary Brown with 21f Warwick success last March. First run for this yard when second of 25 in 19.5f Punchestown handicap 7 weeks later. Went on to land a pair of 2m Flat handicaps last summer and has had excuses back hurdli…

Can You Hear Me (G)
Lightly-raced sort who still looked inexperienced when a good second of 6 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good) in November. Tailed off at Hereford the following month but could well get back on track now handicapping.

Zainy Champ (G)
[T]
Comfortable winner of 18.5f Exeter handicap in December but has failed to complete in his 4 other handicap starts so comes with risks, falling at the last in a first-time tongue tie at Sandown last month. Leap of faith required.
