South Omo Zone (G)
[T]
Bumper winner hasn't stood much racing but did make a winning hurdle/stable debut at this track (15.7f, soft) in January. Has ran poorly since, including in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when found to have bled on chase debut in May. …

Toothless (G)
[PT]
Course winner showed much improved form when an impressive winner at Plumpton (19.8f, good to firm) in May of last year, jumping boldly and quickening clear of a subsequent winner. Off since (has won fresh previously) but capable of follow…

Sea Invasion (G)
Winner of back-to-back 4-runner chases as Plumpton (25.7f) in spring, though typically raced lazily. Drops back in trip with headgear removed and could be worth opposing in his bid for a hat-trick.

Scorsese (G)
[P]
Progressive over hurdles in the spring. Well held in a better race on chase debut at Cheltenham but was in the process of leaving that form well behind when falling 2 out at Fontwell 18 days ago, likely to have won. One to be interested in…

Kalif D'airy (G)

[PT]
Consistent over hurdles last season and found improvement to get off the mark on reappearance/chase debut at Lingfield last month. Bred to be a chaser and could have more offer on second start over fences.

Pilsdon Pen (G)
[P]
In fine heart when winning a pair of handicap chases over C&D on soft ground in 2023/24 season but well below form in two starts earlier this year (following an absence). Bit to prove returning on better ground following a further 7 months…

Joe Cotton (G)
[V1]
Isn't the most straightforward but arrives in good heart. Runner-up on reappearance at Newton Abbot but again found wanting in the finish when third in a 4-runner handicap at Fontwell last time. Change of headgear/bigger field may help but…
