Histrionic (G)
[P1T]
Low-mileage hurdler who scored at Chepstow (23.6f) in March but signed off with a modest effort at Ayr. Winning pointer who is the sort to do well over fences but fell before halfway on his debut over fences at Ludlow on return. Headgear a…

Andy Amo (G)
Progressive over hurdles last season, almost landing a hat-trick in a competitive listed novice handicap at Punchestown in April. Looked badly in need of the experience sent chasing at Aintree on return 2 weeks ago, however.

Blenkinsop (G)
FAV
A four-time handicap scorer (around 2m4f) over hurdles in in 2022/23. Restricted to just 3 runs last season (gave his running only once) but made an encouraging start over fences when fifth of 14 at Cheltenham on return, nearest finish. Sh…

Madaket (G)
[P]
Fairly useful hurdler at his best and matched that form at the second attempt over fences (reportedly bled on debut) when third at Ffos Las on return. Still has plenty to learn about jumping so can do better again.

Not So Woolly (G)
FAV
Failed to win over hurdles but he was consistent and type to make a better chaser. Step up in trip will suit.

Astronomic View (G)
[P]
Fairly useful staying hurdler who wasn't discredited on just his second run over fences when third of 5 at Chepstow in February. Never really a factor on return to action at Chepstow on Friday.
