Model Approach (G)
Made all in juvenile hurdles at Sedgefield and Kempton last October and returned to that sort of form on sole start for Daisy Hitchins when second in a Newton Abbot seller in September. However, well held with usual headgear discarded in p…

Wild Goose (G)
[T1]
Fair form in bumpers and on second start in a Chepstow maiden hurdle (2m) back in April. Unseated early on reappearance at Uttoxeter and below best when fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Worcester (2m) 7 weeks ago. Tongue strap applied for h…

Zucayan (G)
[T]
Enhanced excellent record here (all three career wins have come over C&D) when winning an 8-runner handicap in May. Career-high mark appeared the stumbling block next 2 starts and whilst well held on Flat more recently a return to this tra…

Mad Maxios (G)
[T]
Made it third time lucky in 4-runner junior event hurdle at Chepstow (2m) in April and showed benefit of reappearance run when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) 29 days ago, early keenness compromising his finishing eff…

El Gavilan (G)
[T]
Fair form over hurdles in France. A bit below that level in Britain last season and has yet to fire in pair of handicap hurdle outings upon returning this winter.

Midnight View (G)
Showed a lot more than on his first 2 starts when fifth of 11 in 2m Warwick novice in March but well-beaten both runs in handicaps at Warwick/Chepstow over 2m last month. Tongue strap worn latterly is discarded ahead of this and he has it …

Cogital (G)
[P]
Was seemingly going off the boil on the Flat and not offered much short-term encouragement over hurdles in recent months, minus his usual hood when seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on no…

Saccary (G)
[H]
Fair 10f Flat winner who has yet to match that level in this sphere but possible he needed the run after 7 months off when fourth of 6 on handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) 75 days ago. Remains early days in this code and …

Inion Tiogair (M)
FAV
[B]
Bumper winner who has returned from a break in good nick, finishing a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago, pulling a long way clear of rest. Big shout off same mark.
