Fern Hill (G)
Recorded a first success since 2022 when making a winning return in an uninspiring 5-runner contest at Uttoxeter prior to following up in a weak veterans' chase at Huntingdon last month. More required to land the hat-trick.

Visual Impact (M)
FAV
£100,000 purchase having finished runner-up in sole Irish point. Showed plenty as a novice hurdler and advanced her form on chase debut when third at Ayr (20.5f, soft) last month. Very much a chaser on looks and should improve stepping bac…

Gold Emery (G)
Point/hurdles winner who has shown fair form over fences without winning. Encouraging return when third in a 4-runner chase at Uttoxeter (26f, heavy) last month, travelled well and jumped better than has often been the case. Claims if he c…

Moonlight Flit (G)
[B1]
Best effort for Nicky Henderson when runner-up in Warwick novice on his hurdle debut in 2021 but left the yard for £11,000 the following year having lost form. Won twice in points for current yard but last of 4 finishers most recently (Mar…

The Scorpion King (G)
[P]
Winner of back-to-back chases at Ffos Las (heavy) last winter. Creditable reappearance over hurdles on return to Ffos Las last month and he should go well back chasing with that run under his belt, especially if the ground becomes testing.

Pachacuti (G)
[P]
Hit-and-miss since recording latest success back in February 2024 but has slipped to an attractive mark as a result and took a step back in the right direction when third in a 9-runner chase at Ffos Las last month. Player if he can back th…

Express Surprise (G)
[T]
Continued his progression when scoring on chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f, heavy) in January. Has been hindered by his jumping on better ground since, for all he shaped second best on reappearance at Lingfield (23.5f, good) last time. Cou…

One Last Glance (G)

Won twice on soft/heavy last season and bled when runner-up on final start last season. In the process of running creditably on second start of the campaign when unseating at Plumpton (25.7f, good) 19 days ago. May travel more fluently wit…

Ballylinch (G)

Two-time winner over fences during 2023/24 but has shown little short-term promise in two starts following an 18-month lay-off. Questions to answer now.
