This Sway (G)
[P]
Gained a breakthrough win here (2m) in March and in good nick since, latest when creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Ffos Las (2½m, good) 28 days ago. Likely contender.

Beorma (M)
FAV
[T]
Much improved when easily landing 5-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Worcester (2m, good to soft) on debut over fences 5 days ago. Can race off same mark, back hurdling, and holds obvious claims.

Klervia (M)
Looked unsuited by drop back in trip following a breathing operation when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, good, 17/2) 14 days ago and is 2 lb lower now. Not discounted.

Ghost Jury (M)
Modest maiden hurdler who has been in good form in the pointing field, successful a month ago and runner-up latest. Well treated if building on that back in this sphere.

Tiggerelli (M)
[T]
No impact in a trio of bumpers for Sandy Thomson in 2024/25 and fared no better over hurdles for Paul Robson last term. Likely best watched on debut for new connections.

Inca (G)
Irish point runner-up who offered more than previously when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle over longer trip at Uttoxeter 31 days ago. Others look better treated, though.
