Dexter (G)
[TP]
In good form over fences this year and still in fine heart when runner-up on first hurdle start for over 2 years at Sedgefield last time, no match for an improved 4-y-o. Should give his running again off same mark.

East End Girl (M)
Twice a winner for current yard but hasn't been seen since finishing a creditable fourth in a 10-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) in July last year. Market should guide on return from an absence (yard also saddle Churchma…

Esteban (G)
[B1T1]
Has offered little in three starts for current connections. Remains to be seen if he fares any better with blinkers/tongue strap on first time.

Battle Of Omdurman (G)
[P]
Had some solid form as a juvenile but hasn't built on promising handicap debut, finishing well held at Stratford in a first-time tongue strap (now removed). Claims if back to his best with headgear refitted following a break.

L'air Du Large (G)
Showed little in a bumper/three hurdle starts to date but isn't badly bred and could have to offer making his handicap debut in a low-grade affair.

Bluenose Belle (M)
Didn't look entirely straightforward when making a winning handicap debut at Fontwell and found a bit of improvement to follow up at Market Rasen in May. That form looks ordinary but she's one to consider if market suggests she's ready to …

Now Then Wendy (M)
Fair Flat winner who took a step forward when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 66/1) in March, moving well for a long way. Off 6 months and suffered heavy defeat at Uttoxeter latest and has something to prove on t…

No More Bolero (G)
FAV
[V]
Made the frame at Fontwell on first hurdles start for current yard in August but has followed an encouraging run on the Flat with 2 poor efforts. Booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye on hurdle return and he's one for the shortlist in a …

Fight For It (G)
[T]
Opened his account in a novice hurdle at this track back in 2022 but below form thereafter and not seen for 26 months prior to pulling up at Ludlow last month. Remains with questions to answer.

Blue Tempus (G)
FAV
Fair maiden on the Flat who is yet to build on an encouraging second on hurdle debut. Wasn't able to take advantage of a sizeable 3-y-o allowance when 6 lengths fourth of 6 in a novice handicap at Kempton last time but could be worth anoth…

Churchman (G)
Maiden has often shaped as if needing at least 2½m but hasn't improved for longer trips. Back over 2m though has run well off a break and is worth a market check for yard who are doubly represented.

Ramaah (G)
[B1]
Modest 13f Flat scorer but yet to offer much since sent hurdling. Blinkers on first time but best to look elsewhere.
