Kottayam (M)
[P1T]
Pulled up in 2 handicaps for Dylan Cunha in the autumn and fared little better on stable debut/return at Ludlow. Tongue strap back on along with first-time cheekpieces.

Liasse D'argent (M)
[T1]
Best of her 3 efforts over hurdles came when sixth of 13 in a C&D maiden last month, but that's still only poor form, and she'll need to improve now switched to a handicap. Wears first-time tongue strap.

Little Lady Lucy (M)
[P]
Fair Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien who has proved a different proposition since the drop back to 2m/switch to positive tactics, following up her Wincanton success with ease under a penalty at Taunton, and a hat-trick beckons in a race whe…

Burgeon (M)
[P1T1]
Fared no better for the switch to a handicap at Warwick on reappearance, and no surprise to see a first-time tongue strap fitted, given she looked a difficult ride.

Blue Siam (F)
[P]
Modest maiden on the Flat (stays 1¾m) who only ran to a similar level as previously when fourth of 8 on qualifying run at Newton Abbot, but cheekpieces go on for the first time over hurdles, and she's expected to make more impact now handi…

Noble Miss (M)

Won a bumper on debut in late 2024 but remains with little form over hurdles for current yard.

Stellarmasterpiece (M)
FAV
[P]
Potentially well handicapped on the best of her Flat form (easily forgiven latest start at Catterick), and with her yard in better heart than when last seen in this sphere, she merits serious consideration with Sean Bowen taking over.
