Bond Broker (G)
[H]
Back-to-back 2m hurdle winner last season. Yet to score over fences this term but posted his best effort in this sphere when second of 4 in 2m Windsor handicap on New Year's Day. Needs considering stepped up in trip.

Dual hurdle winner last season. Made a promising start to her chase career in handicaps (around 2½m) and seemed not to get home over 3m when an odds-on third at Huntingdon in January. Has since had a breathing operation and remains with po…

Gris Majeur (G)

Ended last term with 2m hurdles success here. However, below par in a couple of hurdles runs this term before finishing a tailed-off fifth switched to fences in 2m Leicester handicap in December. Lots to prove after a break.

Ended her time with Alan King under a cloud in 2024 but much better signs for her current yard when (cheekpieces fitted) second in Newcastle handicap 16 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running now going chasing after a long absence, th…
