Menaggio (G)
[TP1]
Winner of a novice hurdle and a couple of small-field handicap chases for Alan King in 2024. Better signs for current yard in recent starts (probably would have been placed but for departing 4 out latest). First-time cheekpieces replace th…

Jericoacoara (G)
FAV
Useful in France and back to form of late, including second of 14 in a competitive Go North series final over 21f here last month, closing all the way to the line. That suggests today's extra yardage may help and he's a must for the shortl…

Magic Wave (G)
Lightly-raced 9-y-o who won a 21f course handicap (good to soft) last spring and was placed over C&D on his next 2 outings. Latest Haydock effort was disappointing but his course record affords him respect with the Mark Walford yard among …

Jehol De Thaix (G)
FAV
Unexposed sort who made it third time lucky in handicaps when overcoming several mistakes to see off the reopposing Nosy Neighbour by 1¾ lengths at Newcastle (2¾m, good) 3 weeks ago. Could be more to come for in-form stable.

Rauzan (G)
[P]
Returned to form for current yard when third (Jericoacoara second) of 14 in Go North series final over 21f here last month. Backed that up when second of 4 over 19f at Carlisle over Easter. Enters calculations.

Kilmore Rock (G)
[B]
Third leg of a hat-trick last spring came over C&D. Lost his form under both codes after but took a step back in the right direction in blinkers (retained) when third of 13 in a Go North series final over 3m at Musselburgh last month. Well…

Heart Above (G)
Dual course scorer in the autumn but has found things harder since. His hopes are pinned on a step up to 2¾m for the first time sparking a revival.

Dollar Collar (M)
[T]
Returning from another breathing operation/4 months off when falling heavily over fences in March. Beaten 16 lengths fifth of 6 in 21f course handicap back hurdling since. Hard to be confident about at present. Tongue tie back on.

Nosy Neighbour (G)
[P1]
Positive start to his handicap hurdle career when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Jehol de Thaix at Newcastle (2¾m, good) 20 days ago. Won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces.

Starlyte (M)
[TP]
Without a win this season but more promising signs on her last 2 starts, outrunning odds of 200/1 when 9¾ lengths fourth of 9 to World of Fortunes in listed mares event at Kelso last month. Successful off a similar mark here last spring. G…

Secret Secret (G)
[HT]
Landed third Cartmel success (all have come on soft/heavy ground) when a decisive winner last July. Creditable fourth there next time but off since a lesser run at Newcastle in November. Got to be a chance he'll be using this as a tune up …
