The Four Sixes (G)
Useful sort has turned over a new leaf, readily winning a pair of handicap hurdles at Bangor/Ayr (finished ahead of Florida Dreams) in the spring and completed a hat-trick in a 2-runner chase at Wetherby on return to fences last month. Har…

Kabral Du Mathan (G)

[T]
Won first 3 starts and proved ultra reliable for Paul Nicholls, finishing runner-up in three consecutive 2m handicaps, advancing his form when narrowly beaten by Cracking Rhapsody in the Scottish Champion Hurdle. Had wind surgery since and…

Milldam (G)
[HT]
Better than ever when landing a 2m handicap at this track last December, making it 4 wins from his previous 6 starts (all on soft/heavy). Wasn't disgraced after 10 weeks off when mid-field in Morebattle in March and looks worth another go …

Florida Dreams (G)
[P]
Runner-up behind The Four Sixes last season (now on 4 lb better terms) and has filled the same position on both starts this season, travelled strongly and only collared close home by Hartington at Carlisle (20f, soft) last time. Should go …

Minella Missile (G)
Promising novice hurdler, impressively winning a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in 2023 but has had issues since. Shaped as if better for the run on his reappearance at Cheltenham last month and market should guide expectations here.

Andashan (G)
Much improved when easily landing a 2m Kempton maiden hurdle prior to finishing well held in a Grade 2 in February. Carrying condition but resumed progress when rallying to finish third on handicap debut at Newbury (16.3f) on return and he…

Tax For Max (G)
Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins. Yet to reach that level for current yard but has taken a step forward with each start, finishing 7¾ lengths third of 4 in the Grade 2 Elite Hurdle at Wincanton 2 weeks ago. Back up in trip and reta…

Cormier (G)
Last hurdle success came in the Morebattle at Kelso in 2022 and shaped as if retaining ability following a lengthy absence when seventh in the 2025 renewal. Slow start to this season on Flat but scored decisively at Nottingham (14f) last m…

Kinbara Firstdraft (G)
Produced a career best when 6 lengths second to Timmy Tuesday in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good) in March. Well held over 2m at Perth subsequently and has plenty on his plate stepping back up in distance from 3 lb out of the ha…

Form patchy, running a good race at Newton Abbot on return but finishing well held at Chepstow on Friday. This looks too tough.
