Kateira (M)
Useful hurdler who made the most of good opportunity (sole rival amiss) when winning 2-runner listed Mares' Hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good) on return last month. Unable to get competitive when fourth of 8 in Grade 2 Ascot Hurdle 3 weeks lat…

Knickerbockerglory (G)
Enhanced fine record when fresh by making all in this corresponding event last season. Solid form off career-high mark subsequently, latest when a patiently ridden fourth in the Sussex Champion Hurdle. Eased 1 lb and looks the pick of the …

Goshen (G)
[P]
A very smart hurdler at his best. Opened chase account at Exeter in spring 2024 and not discredited back chasing when third to Hoe Joly Smoke in 3m handicap here in March. Found bet365 Gold Cup too competitive the following month and retur…

Metier (G)
[T]
Better known as a Flat performer these days and but it's hard to know how much ability remains judged on both 2025 outings, shaping as if the run was needed in November handicap at Doncaster 4 weeks ago. Back hurdling for the first time si…

Glynn Brae (G)
FAV
Prolific over hurdles last season and picked up from where he'd left off to record victory number 4 in 6-runner handicap hurdle here (19.8f, good) last month, showing a willing attitude to get back up after an untidy jump at the last looke…

L'astroboy (G)
Promising start to career when winning Ffos Las bumper/maiden hurdle in 2022 before taking his form up a notch when runner-up in Grade 1 Tolworth here. Unable to capitalise on a marked drop in grade in spring 2023 and has clearly had sever…

Go Dante (G)
[T]
Back to best when landing 17-runner Imperial Cup (Handicap) over C&D for a second year running in March, sustaining run well to lead close home. Found test too much on return at Bangor last month so he warrants considerable respect back he…

Honky Tonk Highway (M)
Listed bumper winner who didn't need to improve on her opening effort over hurdles when making all in C&D listed event on this card last year. Much improved when narrowly denied in a valuable novice at Windsor the following month but ran a…

Afadil (G)

Placed in Imperial Cup over C&D last spring but it's now 13 runs since his last win and he shaped as if needing the run on return at Ascot 5 weeks ago (had another breathing operation during absence). Handicapper drops him another couple a…

Lucky One (G)
Patchy form, running a good race when third at Newton Abbot on return but finishing well held at Chepstow just over a fortnight ago. Faces a very stiff task from well out of the weights.
