Gasmani (G)
Bumper winner who got off the mark in this sphere despite a far from fluent round of jumping in 5-runner handicap over C&D just under 2 weeks ago. Still relatively unexposed at staying trips but will likely need to improve further to follo…

Holeshot (G)
Back-to-back hurdles winner last season and there were positives to glean form his chase debut fifth at Bangor in October. However jumping has let him down since, so no surprise to see him back over the smaller obstacles.

Sam's Amour (M)
Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024. Good second at Newton Abbot last summer but he's struggled since, looking rusty back hurdling after a break back there earlier in the month.

Sage Green (G)
[T]
Irish point winner who made a winning hurdling debut at Warwick back in March 2025. Let down by his jumping on both starts over fences at Wincanton last month and reverts to hurdles with his usual headgear discarded. Should stay this easy …

Noble Blue (G)
FAV
Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser for Paul Nolan. Prolific in points prior to finishing an encouraging second in 2 Exeter handicap hurdles since returning to Rules. Clipped heels and unseated rider on turn after fifth over C&D recently so is worth a…

Final Entry (G)
[PT]
Made a winning start over hurdles in a juvenile at Newton Abbot in July 2024 and unsurprisingly looked rusty following 16 months on the sidelines when down the field in a Flat handicap at Southwell in February. Similar story back hurdling …

McGregors Charge (G)
Got off the mark at Perth in August and solid placed efforts since at Stratford and Newton Abbot next 2 starts. However, he failed miserably to land a gamble on first outing for 6 months/since leaving Ella Pickard here recently and is now …
