Bowmore (G)
Useful sort who won conditionals handicap hurdle at Newbury in November but has been found out in a higher grade at Cheltenham and Aintree on last 2 starts. Eased in class and should stay this far.

Champagne Kid (G)

Off the mark in a Punchestown maiden in November and improved when following up on handicap debut at Leopardstown (20.5f) the following month. In first-time tongue strap, not seen to best effect when ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at forme…

Sir Galahad (G)
[P]
Recorded 4-timer over hurdles last summer but struggled in better company after. Dropped in grade, creditable 3 lengths second of 8 to Miss Maverick in handicap over C&D (good, 10/11) 22 days ago. He's weighted to turn the tables on that r…

Service Minimum (M)

Landed a gamble when winning at Bangor in March and followed up the following month in 10-runner handicap at Warwick (21f, good to firm, 13/8). Up a further 10 Ib but is clearly thriving at present and will appreciate the underfoot conditi…

No Ordinary Joe (G)
[VT]
Suited by the return to a longer trip when ending a long losing run at Sandown in April. Possibly found race coming too soon when down the field in Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (2m, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and remains well treated …

Miss Maverick (M)
Strong-travelling front runner who has an excellent C&D record with 4 successes, latest in 8-runner handicap hurdle (good, 4/1) 22 days ago by 3 lengths from Sir Galahad, eased down. Has to be taken seriously despite having been raised to …

Percy Shelley (G)

Made a winning start over hurdles in a C&D maiden in September before having a walkover at Ludlow the following month. Added to his string of in-the-frame finishes on the Flat at Goodwood 22 days ago. Mark looks a workable one though will …

Flying Fortune (M)
[P]
A 4-time winner in 2024 but is lightly raced since. In first-time cheekpieces, shaped well but failed to stay when down the field in handicap at Haydock (3m, good) 15 days ago. Will be suited by this drop back in trip and one to note for s…

Rialannah (M)
Thriving this spring, getting off the mark over hurdles at the 16th attempt when landing a Fakenham (23.4f) handicap and following up in a similar event there (2½m, good, 11/2) 20 days ago. More required from a career-high mark but it's st…

Liverpool Knight (G)
Twice a course winner, who's been placed over this C&D. 8/1, better for run when 15¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Miss Maverick in handicap over C&D (good) 22 days ago. Losing run is mounting up and others are preferred.

Break Point (G)
Dual-purpose performer who finally opened his account in either sphere at Perth in August for Olly Murphy. Ran just once for James Owen and made just a respectable start for Luke Dace at Southwell at the beginning of the month. Easy to loo…
