Got off the mark in 2m4f novice hurdle at Newbury a year ago but below that form after, including sent chasing on return.

Fern Hill (G)
Recorded a first success since 2022 when making a winning return in 5-runner contest at Uttoxeter and beat Zacony Rebel by 3¼ lengths when following up in veterans' chase over C&D last month. Needs considering in hat-trick bid. Declared 13…

Isle Of Gold (G)
[P]
Maiden pointer who bettered his hurdles form when second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on chase debut at Warwick (25.4f, good to soft) on latest start in January. On the downside, he did make rather hard work of things that day and …

Jongleur D'etoiles (G)

Trapista (M)
[P1]
Some creditable efforts earlier in the season following a spell in the doldrums but not in the same form over this trip at Ludlow last time, finishing a well held third of 5. However, potentially well treated if first-time cheekpieces have…

Zacony Rebel (G)
[BT]
Justified support in first-time blinkers when ending a losing run in a 2½m Worcester handicap chase in July. Back to that level when 3¼ lengths second of 4 to Fern Hill over C&D last month and 3 lb better off with the winner here.
