Loughderg Rocco (G)
[P]
Confirmed promise of chasing debut when forging clear for success in a 2½m Leicester novice back in December 2023 for L J Morgan. However, missed the following 2 seasons before finishing well held in handicap at Kempton on stable debut 23 …

Saint Palais (G)
Useful novice chaser in 2021/22. However, he hasn't been able to reach that level over hurdles since and has gone backwards from this season's reappearance, including returned to chasing when down the field in a Newbury handicap (23f, soft…

Fortunate Man (G)
[PT]
As good as ever when landing same Aintree race for the second year running on return, beating a subsequent winner. Hasn't kicked on in 2 subsequent outings, though possibly found the test too much in the Eider (33f, good to soft) last time…

Big City Roller (G)
[P]
Hasn't stood much racing, but made a successful chase debut in handicap at Bangor a year ago and won 4-runner contest at Lingfield (2½m, heavy) last month. Well beaten over hurdles at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last time, though softer gro…

Alfie's Princess (M)
[T]
Point/hurdles winner who was successful on her second chase start, returning from a 15-month absence when scoring comfortably in handicap at Wincanton (2½m) on Boxing Day. Below form at Windsor 3 weeks later, but she could bounce back give…

Karuma Grey (G)
Unreliable sort but in first-time cheekpieces produced one of his better efforts when runner-up over C&D (heavy) in January. Not in the same form last 2 starts, though, tiring when falling usual 2 out back at this venue last time. Has left…

Puddlesinthepark (G)
Made it 4 wins from 5 starts when scoring in 3-runner handicap at this course (3½m, good) in October. However, has found his good run of form coming to a halt the last twice, behind when unseating 4 out at Exeter on latest outing in Decemb…

Genietoile (G)

Still a maiden under Rules but, after almost 2 years off, shaped encouragingly when third in handicap at Chepstow on chasing debut in November. After an early fall next time, back on track when second at Chepstow (3m, soft) 7 weeks ago, th…

Face d'Music (G)

Capitalised on a falling mark over hurdles at Chepstow (3m) last month and ran well returned to chasing when denied late on at this course (19f, heavy) 15 days ago. Up in grade but he enters calculations in his current form.
