Reteti (G)
[H]
Modest performer on the Flat and while he has failed to trouble the judge on 4 of his 5 starts in this sphere, he shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 7 in handicap at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February. Could be worth chancing on…

A Good Yomp (G)
[H]
Has remained in good form since winning at Huntingdon (2½m) in November, though seemed stretched by the 4f longer trip when fourth of 8 at Ascot (3m, good) 7 weeks ago. Back down markedly in distance and is just 1 lb above his last winning…

Frank Stamper (G)
FAV
[H]
Fair Flat maiden who ran his best race in this sphere when second of 5 in handicap at Fontwell (2¼m, good) last month, going like the best horse at the weights but unable to hang on after a last-to-first move that included flattening a fli…

Galactic Jack (G)
[PT]
One-time useful Flat performer who still needs to brush up on his jumping but nevertheless ran one of his better races when third of 10 at Taunton (2m, good) last month. Would be no certainty to build on that here, however.

Trooper (G)
5-time winner on the Flat in Germany (stays 1½m) but tailed off all 3 starts in maiden hurdles (first one for Tom George). In good hands and shouldn't be written off given his Flat form now tackling a handicap for the first time.

Mi Sueno (G)
Recorded back-to-back wins over hurdles in spring 2024 and stopped the slide on just his third outing for the yard when second at Taunton last month. Failed to back that up sent chasing 12 days ago and quickly reverts to the smaller obstac…

Prettylady (F)
[T]
Fair maiden on Flat in France (stays 9.5f) but has offered little in juvenile/maiden hurdles for new yard so far this year. Could prove different proposition now handicapping so she's one to keep an eye on.

Blazing Gaden (G)
Finished as close as he has so far but still didn't achieve much in form terms from 5 lb out of the handicap when fifth of 10 at Taunton (2m, good) last month. Tough to enthuse over.
