Raceview Road (G)
Ended last season out of sorts over fences and probably best watched back hurdling following an 8-month absence (has undergone a wind op in the interim).

Big Zouk (G)
FAV
Point winner who showed ability on first of his 2 starts in this sphere for James Ewart. Looked rusty when fifth of 11 on return/debut for new yard 2½m Hexham maiden last month and better can be expected now upped in trip for this handicap…

Carrhill (G)
[P1]
More miss than hit between the flags and no show first 2 starts under Rules. However, there were more encouraging signs when fourth at Carlisle (17f, soft) last time and he's another who will likely be better off now faced with a stiffer t…

Snowrocco (M)
Placed in an Irish point and signed off last term with her best effort yet, finishing second in 7-runner handicap at Wetherby. First run since undergoing a wind op when running poorly at Ayr last month, though, and will need to leave that …

King Casey (G)
Shaped with a bit of promise in Ireland for Eoin Doyle and stepped up on previous efforts for this yard when fourth in a 9-runner Market Rasen handicap (23f, good), despite not being ideally placed. Placed possibilities here if able to bui…

Fainche (M)
[T]
On a good mark judged on placed efforts in several handicaps during 2023/24 campaign, but didn't offer much in a handful of appearances last term and again well held on return at Kelso.

Tees Comp's Clive (G)
Has made the frame on a handful of occasions off higher marks than this, but latest effort at Market Rasen wasn't one of his better ones and hurdles record now stands at 0-14.

Perfect Poli (M)

Low-mileage 7-y-o who will need to find improvement from somewhere if she's to take a hand in the finish.

Whispering Dancer (G)
[P]
Offered little in a trio of hurdles and (in cheekpieces) on his chasing bow when ninth of 11 in handicap at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Readily passed over back in this sphere.

Goodoldbill (G)

It's been all downhill since his narrow breakthrough success in a handicap chase here in November 2023. Best to look elsewhere.
