Siog Geal (M)
Ended 2024/25 with EBF Mares' Final success at Newbury and running consistently well this season, forced to switch late when second of 9 in 19f handicap hurdle at Chepstow last month. Another bold showing is on the cards.

Rockola Vogue (M)

Started the season with handicap wins at Bangor and Ascot but fitted with cheekpieces when below par in Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle at Doncaster and listed event at Kelso last 2 runs.

Greyval (M)
[P1]
Winless this season under both codes and she's been off since a below-form fifth of 10 in 21f handicap hurdle at Ludlow in February. Cheekpieces go on now.

Pretending (M)
[P]
Capitalised on a reduced mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) in February. Had the run of the race there so more is required from a 4 lb higher mark.

Service Minimum (M)

Confirmed earlier promise when easily landing a gamble in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (2½m) 23 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but she merits serious consideration.

Crazierthandaisy (M)
Dual C&D winner who got right back on track when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 26 days ago. A likely player nudged up 1 lb.

Hard Dealt (M)
Point/hurdles winner who is knocking on the door again, runner-up for the fourth time this season in 3m Ascot handicap 25 days ago. Can go well once more.

Pismo Beach (M)

Scored at Hexham in October and largely in good form subsequently, second of 15 in 21f handicap at Newbury last month. Up 4 lb here though.

Audacious Annie (M)
[P]
Course winner but yet to score this season and she didn't find as much as expected when fourth of 7 in handicap at Fakenham (2½m) in January. Back from a break here.

Keep On Cobbling (M)
Low-mileage 6-y-o made a winning return at Sedgefield in November. Failed to see her race out after 3 months off when third of 4 in 21f handicap at Ayr last month but should strip sharper here.

Country Mouse (M)
[P1]
Points winner but she proved a disappointment on her handicap debut when sixth of 9 at Chepstow (19f) last month. Not the easiest of rides and cheekpieces go on now.
