Run For Pat (G)
A fairly useful winning hurdler but he came home a well-beaten fifth on both his completed starts over fences for Gordon Elliott. Back over timber and assessor has given him a major chance.

Lets Mingle (M)
Successful sole outing in Irish points and made hard work of capitalising on a good opportunity when off the mark under Rules in a 4-runner novice at Perth in May. Better form when second on handicap debut at Kelso 5 months later and she's…

Theme Tune (G)
[P]
Landed a pair of 3m handicap hurdles in 2022/23. Lightly raced since and not at best all 3 starts last season after 14 months off. Almost certainly needed the run at Ayr last month and this will reveal more.

Small Town Hero (G)
[PT]
Landed a hat-trick over hurdles before capitalising on lower chase mark in comfortable fashion at Downpatrick (23.7f, good to soft) in October. Winning run ended at Punchestown 3 weeks ago but he did shape as though still in form (made mis…

Milan Ac (G)
Runner-up in a Ffos Las novice in May 2024 but restricted to just 2 runs since, pulling up on chase debut at Chepstow 4 weeks ago. Quickly back over timber.

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 breat…

Vroomoz Eile (M)
Maiden Irish pointer but off the mark at third attempt over hurdles in mares' novice at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) in February. Too free at Cartmel in May and made inauspicious start over fences at that venue in July.

La Higuera (G)
FAV
[P]
Placed in Irish points and had shaped like a stayer under Rules prior to running no sort of race on his qualifying run, when soon off the bridle. Upped to 23.9f and fitted with cheekpieces, more like it when third on handicap debut at Ffos…
