Okavango Delta (G)
[P]
Won twice over further here last winter and well-prepared following 4 months off to add to tally at Worcester in May. Exploits mixed in pair of starts thereafter but no great surprise to see a better showing having again been freshened up …

Inspire Hope (M)
Fair winner in juvenile hurdles for Joseph O'Brien last year. Respectable efforts in that sphere for present stable last winter without threatening and similar story returned to the level in recent weeks. Market best guide now chasing.

Nathan Wells (G)
[P]
Placed a couple of times over fences for this yard at the start of the campaign and manged back-to-back handicap hurdles at Perth (at 16.2f) this autumn. Extended 19f trip may have stretched him at Ayr latest and he commands a second look …

Independent Jimmy (G)
FAV
[P]
Deservedly opened account when making all for a narrow success in a Bangor handicap hurdle in September. Solid start over fences, again going ahead of his mark without convincing with his finishing effort when third at Market Rasen (19.1f)…

Wolfburg (G)
Out of sorts since winning a Catterick maiden hurdle (15.7f, soft) in February 2024, pulled up on 3 of his 4 starts since, latterly on the back of 6 months off at Perth 38 days ago. This can reveal more now tackling larger obstacles on the…

Scots Poet (G)
[T]
Multiple hurdles winner (handily treated on best form) and promise over fences, seemingly failing for stamina when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft, 25/1) 22 days ago. Worth a look returned to the minimum tr…

Prospect House (G)
[V]
In good form over fences since the spring, winning twice and placed on 6 other occasions. Nothing wrong with his most recent second returned to hurdling when runner-up at Newcastle (16.9f) 4 weeks ago and another bold showing rates highly …

My Portia (M)
[T]
Got off the mark at Market Rasen (17.2f) in January. Lost her form in trio of starts thereafter but more like it after 7 months off/refitted with a tongue strap when second of 12 in handicap chase at Hereford (2, good) 25 days ago. Player …
