I Am Spider Man (G)
[H]
A two-time hurdles winner for Charles Byrnes at Sligo in 2024. Mixed bag since for different trainers (promise at Taunton in December for Debra Hamer) and starts out for another new yard now. Watch the betting.

| 3rd | 2 | — |
Les's Destiny Star (G)
Debut bumper winner but he's failed to kick on sent hurdling, tongue tied when a remote fourth of 7 in 3m handicap at Doncaster 44 days ago. Has since had a breathing operation.

| 6th | 3 | — |
Kantagua Du Large (M)
[P]
Remains winless for current yard but not discredited when fourth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Taunton 19 days ago. Possibilities off an easing mark.

R Patrick | C Boultbee-Brooks | 6 | 73.5 kg |

An Buachaill Rua (G)
FAV
Got off the mark over hurdles at Ludlow in February and backed it up with a good second of 10 in 23f handicap hurdle at Bangor 22 days ago. A likely player despite a 3 lb rise.

Callum Pritchard | Sheila Lewis | 6 | 73 kg |

Bradman (G)
[P]
Landed a pair of 19f handicaps at Fontwell in December/January but off since a below-form sixth at Wincanton 73 days ago. Could bounce back up in trip after a break.

James Best | K Bishop | 5 | 71.7 kg |

Rock On Cassie (M)
Arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bangor 12 days ago. Lots more is needed.

| 1st | 7 | — |
Glengolly (G)
[V1T]
Gained his breakthrough success at Hereford (25f) in December and largely in good nick since, third of 9 at Huntingdon last time. Tried in different headgear here.

G Sheehan | Billy Aprahamian | 7 | 71.2 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 4th | 8 | — |
Cote D'ange (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who was much shorter in the betting on handicap debut/upped in trip and took a step forward when third of 7 at Hereford 49 days ago. No forlorn hope.
|
Dylan Johnston | S Thomas | 5 | 70.8 kg |

| 2nd | 9 | — |
Star Turn (G)
[V1T]
Maiden and little show for this yard in 2024/25. Visor goes on and has his fitness to prove upped significantly in trip.

James Bowen | M Bowen | 6 | 67.6 kg |

| 9th | 10 | — |
Makinbecon (G)
Placed in a point but well held all 3 starts over hurdles here, latest for new trainer. Handicap debutant and bred to be a lot better than his mark.

Tom Cannon | B T Murphy | 6 | 67.1 kg |

Atlantic Power (G)
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (23f) in February but pulled up in handicap at Fontwell since. Needs to get back on track.

| 5th | 12 | — |
Kingston Kid (G)
[BT]
Fair hurdler at best. Possibly still needed latest Chepstow run after a long lay-off, but it is a long time since he has shown any worthwhile form.

Tabitha Worsley | G Howell | 9 | 66.7 kg |

Pooley's Promise (M)
[T1P]
C&D winner for Ryan Potter. Cheekpieces on for the first time and well backed when fifth of 10 in 3m handicap at Taunton starting out for this yard 19 days ago. Tongue strap now added and could still do better.
|
Jack Tudor | N P Mulholland | 7 | 65.8 kg |

Getaway Sam (G)

Mind Hunter (G)
[BT]
Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and he came in a below-par fifth of 7 in handicap at Leicester 146 days ago. More is needed after a break.
