Groom De Cotte (G)
[T]
Veteran who got back on track after a sour Chepstow effort when third of 8 in a 3¼m handicap hurdle at Warwick (good to firm, 12/1) recently. His mark leaves little room for manoeuvre, though.

Jack's Jury (G)
[PT]
Off the mark on first start for current yard at Ffos Las (2½m) in March. Solid third from a 7 lb higher mark at Chepstow next time and has run well on his completed start over fences since. Remains of interest on this return to hurdling.

Final Entry (G)
FAV
[PT]
Made a winning start over hurdles in a course juvenile in July 2024 and ran his best race since returning from a 16-month absence (including on the Flat) when fourth in 7-runner handicap (3m) at Taunton in April. Further step up in trip li…

Winning Paddy (G)
[P]
Winning pointer who left his previous form under Rules behind when winning 8-runner handicap chase at this course (3¼m, good to soft) last week. Reverts to hurdling from same mark and open to improvement.

Hurst Hill (M)
Sole win came at this venue last July and would've likely finished a bit closer with a smoother passage at Fontwell on most recent outing. Not ruled out back up in trip.

Has shown little in 3 hurdle starts to date, hinting at temperament to boot. Upped markedly in trip for handicap bow.
