Rioja Alta (G)
[B]
Winner at Sedgefield in February and coped well with the greater emphasis on stamina when notching second victory of 2025 at Cartmel (2¾m, heavy) during the summer. Probably needed the run back from 4 months off at Hexham recently, but it …

Piaff Bubbles (G)
[HT]
Off for nearly 2 years prior to last term, but made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts and again proved that the fire still burns bright when third of 12 on recent return at Hexham (2½m, good to soft), which was his first run following a wind …

Buzz Iceclear (G)
FAV
Much improved for step up to 3m when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Ayr (soft) at the beginning of this month. 5 lb rise by no means the end of the world, especially since he's unexposed and really should have more to o…

Streamsforth Lad (G)
[T]
Winless following 9 runs over hurdles, but has acquitted himself pretty well all 3 starts since joining present yard, particularly so when a close third at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 12 days ago. On that evidenc the return to this trip will b…

Poetry Man (G)
[P]
Bagged a handicap chase off a 4 lb lower mark at Catterick during the 2024 Christmas period, but the evidence available suggests that he's not as good in this sphere (unplaced from 4 starts over hurdles).

It's Maisy (M)
Won 3 handicap hurdles (up to 25.3f) on deep ground in 2024 and ran right up to her best returned to this sphere when fourth in a 12-runner handicap at Uttoxeter on final start last season. Not at her best on recent return at Newcastle, bu…

Farmer Jimmy (G)
Much improved for a switch to handicaps over a longer trip when opening his account upped to 19.7f here (heavy) in February. Excuses since (ground too lively on return here last month and probably needed the run anyway), but Buzz Iceclear …

Snowrocco (M)
Placed in an Irish point and signed off last term with her best effort yet, finishing second in 7-runner handicap over this C&D. First run since undergoing a wind op when running poorly in the Ayr handicap won by Buzz Iceclear and will nee…

Star Vantage (G)
[T]
Long-standing maiden who returned to his best when runner-up at Cartmel in May. Below that level when sixth of 8 on return from a break at Hexham (23.3f, heavy), but he's on a workable mark and this run should be more revealing.

Always A Reason (G)
Off thew mark in maiden points at the fifth attempt last spring. Initial efforts under Rules were low-key and while he's shown more spark in handicaps at around 2½m the last twice, more will be needed now faced with a stiffer test if she's…

Dillarchie (M)

Scored at Sedgefield in February 2024, but not easy to catch right since and was safely held when recently returning from a year off at Hexham.
