Bust A Move (G)
[H]
Fairly useful on Flat and impressed to win two of his 3 starts over hurdles last season, latterly on handicap debut at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Not given a hard time having been too free (despite the fitting of a hood) on comeback at…

Bluegrass (G)
[PT]
C&D winner matched best form (following another wind surgery) when landing a weak race on reappearance and bounced back from a lesser effort when third in a 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (19.5f) last time. This looks more competitive back…

Don't Mind If I Do (G)
FAV
Very promising start to his career when runner-up in valuable Newbury bumper and opened his account over hurdles at Wincanton last December. Best not judged on handicap debut third at Aintree on return (unsuited by omitted flights) and loo…

Clap Of Thunder (G)
FAV
Struck in a 2m Ascot novice last November and shaped better than result in a competitive 2m Cheltenham race on handicap debut. Only matched that form at Musselburgh final start but has had a wind op since and may have more to offer on retu…

Benvoy (G)
[T]
Landed first-leg of a double over this C&D in March but hasn't fired in either start following a break, disappointing in the 4-y-o handicap at Chepstow in October. Remains to be seen if breathing operation/return to this track can spark a …

We're Red And Blue (G)
Free-going sort won a maiden/novice hurdle last season and posted best effort in handicaps when finishing midfield in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m). Unable to showcase his hurdling ability on reappearance at Aintree (omitted hurdles) an…

Time Interval (G)
[T]
Landed back-to-back handicaps hurdles at Stratford/Warwick in May and remained in fine form over summer. Unsuited by the increased test of stamina when well beaten on return at Cheltenham (21f, soft) last month but faces no easy task back …

Haas Boy (G)
[PT]
Sold for just 3,200 gns from Emma Lavelle yard but quickly back on track in cheekpieces for new connections, winning a Newton Abbot chase and travelling well when following up with something to spare over hurdles at Exeter (16.7f). Remains…

Callin Baton Rouge (M)
Strong-travelling mare capitalised on a falling mark when landing a 14-runner Uttoxeter handicap in June and has returned in fine heart, finishing third over 2½m at Southwell last time. Drop back in trip won't inconvenience her but all win…

Graecia (M)
[HT]
Progressing over hurdles, cosily landing 2m Worcester handicap in September prior to finding one too good at Kempton/Hereford subsequently, shaping as if still ahead of her mark when carting her way to the front last time. Makes plenty of …
