Abbey Scope (G)
Successful at this course only start in bumpers and got back to something like his hurdling debut form when runner-up on handicap bow at Catterick in January, despite again making mistakes. Pulled up at Musselburgh last time, though drops …

Nitty Gritty (G)
[P]
Fair winning hurdler for Joseph O'Brien who offered more than previously for current yard when fifth in 10-runner handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. However, after 4 months off he ran poorly at Market Rasen 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back o…

Disco Annie (M)
[T]
Bred for chasing but failed to progress over fences in 2025/26. Fitted with cheekpieces, ran well back over hurdles when third at Carlisle (17f) in March, though was reported to be in season when well held last time. Has had a breathing op…

Livano Bello (G)
[T]
Remains a maiden but soon left behind a lesser effort when third of 5 at Market Rasen in March. Again ran well when second to an unexposed rival at Fakenham a month ago and he can give another good account.

Lester Mail (G)
FAV
Fair bumper winner who was prominent in the betting on handicap hurdle debut but shaped as if needing emphasis more on stamina when fourth of 9 at this course (2¼m) 16 days ago. Yard knows this family well, so he's interesting upped furthe…

William Yeats (G)
[T]
Sedgefield bumper winner at the second attempt when trained by Rebecca Menzies. Yet to match that form over hurdles, fitted with tongue strap when third of 5 back at Sedgefield (17f) on handicap/stable debut last month. Could yet do better…

Cher Tara (M)
Formerly with Dan Skelton/Gordon Elliott but signs of promise in pair of third-place finishes for current yard in January/February. Excuses next time, but below-par effort at Newcastle on latest outing 25 days ago.

Larkfield Lusive (G)
[P]
Belatedly off the mark at Perth (2½m) in May last year and followed up at Market Rasen (23f) the following month. However, not quite in the same form both subsequent outings, sixth of 11 back at Perth (3m) when last seen in August.

Fairly Fulling (G)
[PT]
Back on track at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and built on that effort when finally opening account in 15-runner handicap at Newcastle in March. Back up 7 lb in the weights but could be in the mix again in his current form.

She Won't Mind (M)
Point winner but only poor form in varied events over hurdles. Let down by her jumping in handicap at Hexham (2m) on chasing debut in May last year (found to have bled) and absent since.

Joto (M)

Remains a maiden but produced best effort in handicap hurdles when third of 6 at Catterick in February, the winner and second both scoring next time. Unseated early at Newcastle last time, so she's worth another chance to build on her Catt…
