Miss Kassiopi (M)
FAV
Responded well to a positive ride when opening account at Hereford (2½m) last month. Not discredited under a penalty when third of 12 at Ffos Las 6 days later, beaten only by a couple of improvers. Can make another bold bid back down in tr…

Lheur De Gloire (G)
Showed ability in a bumper and brought along steadily first 3 starts over hurdles. In tongue strap (now discarded), was too free upped to 21f when sixth of 9 on handicap debut at Haydock in March. Could yet do better returned to shorter ha…

Down the field on first 3 starts over hurdles and well held making handicap debut in this sphere at Market Rasen (21f) in February. However, has since gained a first career success in minor event on the Flat at Wolverhampton and only narro…

Paragon (G)
Modest maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m). Has run to a similar level when making the frame 2 of 3 starts in maiden hurdles this year, fourth of 7 over this C&D in April. Will need to take a step forward as he goes handicapping in this sphere.

Pottersjetamay (G)
[TP1]
Still looking for a breakthrough victory, but after a spell over fences he was placed twice back over hurdles in March (both at around 2m). Below form over 19f at Warwick last time, but he's worth another chance from his reduced mark with …

Louie The Legend (G)
Dual 7f/1m winner on the Flat but has failed to see things out in 3 races over hurdles so far, well-beaten fifth of 12 in novice at Huntingdon in March. Below form back on the level the last twice ahead of this handicap hurdle debut.

McGrath From Clune (G)
[PHT]
Returned to winning ways from 5 lb out of the weights in handicap chase at Hereford in November. Shaped as if still in form next 2 starts, but after 13 weeks off he was pulled up at the same course in March. Has a higher mark back over hur…

Chico Magnifica (G)
Fairly useful form when winning twice from 4 starts on the level for Karl Burke in 2025. Little impact in 4 starts over hurdles this spring, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him fare better now sent handicapping.

Blazing Saint (G)
Not much promise in a trio of maiden hurdles to date, pulled up over 2½m at this course in February. However, he's worth a market check as he heads into handicaps.

Sunset In Paris (G)

Glenridding (G)
[T1]
Fair winner over 1m on the Flat. Making second handicap start over hurdles, settled better than has often been the case in this sphere when fifth of 9 at Kelso (2¼m) 3 weeks ago. More needed with tongue strap now fitted.
