Spartan Times (G)
Off the mark in good style at Worcester in June before winning 4 times on the Flat. Down the field in testing ground on return to hurdles at Bangor in November, but may do better now handicapping under less testing conditions.

I J Power | J Candlish | 5 | 76.2 kg |

| 4th | 2 | — |
Desert Halo (G)
Beat a subsequent winner to open his account on handicap debut at Plumpton before bumping into a well-treated one at Hereford last time. There still looks to be some mileage in his mark and he may well resume winning ways.

James Davies | R Bandey | 7 | 75.3 kg |

Diesel Line (G)
[T]
Strong-travelling sort won twice over C&D last year and is fancied to go close in a race that should be run to suit, following a creditable fourth on reappearance at Market Rasen.

C J Todd | C & A Pogson | 8 | 74.4 kg |

Iolaos Du Mou (G)
[H]
Runner-up over C&D before going one better at Warwick later in May, and he was perhaps still feeling those exertions, when finishing last of 4 in a Southwell handicap the following month.

Tabitha Worsley | T Culhane & S Barclay | 8 | 74.4 kg |

Westerton (G)
Let down by his jumping on qualifying run at Plumpton in 2024 and was below his useful best on the Flat for Alan King last year. Has joined new connections for 10,000 gns ahead of this handicap hurdle debut, and he's worth a market check, …

Kalkaroo (G)
FAV
Justified support to get off the mark at Market Rasen in February and while he's remained in good heart with subsequent placed efforts there, his progress appears to have stalled.

G Sheehan | Billy Aprahamian | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Crown Of India (G)
Posted his best effort since winning a maiden at Worcester when sixth of 8 in a handicap at Wincanton last November, though that form looks far from robust.

Bryan Carver | A M Hales | 5 | 73 kg |

Auntie Maggie (M)
Front runner notched a third career success here this time last year, and though she wasn't quite in the same heart when third in a course handicap chase in October, she could go close if revitalised by a break.

C Gethings | A Ralph | 7 | 72.6 kg |

Raffles Nobu (G)
[BT]
Yard has enjoyed an excellent rookie season, but this 6-y-o clearly isn't the easiest to win with, carrying his head a bit awkwardly when fourth of 6 at Market Rasen in March.

Freddie Keighley | Nick Scholfield | 6 | 72.6 kg |

Playful Fox (G)
[T]
Hails from a family his yard has had success with but having shown promise in junior hurdles, he never looked like justifying support on handicap bow at Catterick in late-January (reported to have made a respiratory noise). Clearly thought…

Ten Ten Twenty (G)

Winner at this track in 2024 but was having his first hurdle run for over a year when falling heavily at Hereford in December.

Portcammon (G)
FAV
[P]
Looked to be building up to something when fourth in a C&D handicap last September but disappointed both starts subsequently. However, he needs a close look in the betting with Sean Bowen taking over.

S Bowen | N P Mulholland | 7 | 69.4 kg |

Little Soiree (M)
Has struggled for new yard, showing no signs of capitalising on her falling mark.

Tom Broughton | Olly Williams | 8 | 67.6 kg |

| 2nd | 14 | — |
Saccary (G)
Fair Flat winner finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second at Huntington, and having backed that up when runner-up over C&D (soft) last time, he has to be on the shortlist.
|
Jack Tudor | D Pipe | 7 | 67.1 kg |

| 3rd | 15 | — |
Genbu (G)
Fortunate winner of juvenile hurdle at Wetherby in October for Sam England but has struggled since, including on stable debut at Stratford in late-March.

Now Then Wendy (M)

Remains a maiden over hurdles but ran one of her better races when (40/1) fourth of 8 at Hereford in early-March.
