Tell The Tale (G)
Dead-heated in an Irish point and showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts over hurdles when sixth of 11 in a 2m Chepstow novice 3 weeks ago. May well do better now handicapping, but improvement is certainly needed off this opening mar…

Kelijoe (G)
FAV
Fairly useful ex-French bumper winner who finished runner-up twice in maiden/novice company at Fakenham. Better than the bare result on handicap debut at Chepstow and while he was disappointing tried in a tongue strap (discarded here) next…

Big Storm Brewing (G)
Brought along steadily in novice company, but improvement was not forthcoming switched to handicaps during the spring and he's essentially opposable.

River Rider (G)
Runner-up first of 2 starts in bumpers, but no impact in novice/maiden company and hasn't fared any better in handicaps the last twice.

Cumhacht (G)
Remains a maiden following 10 attempts over hurdles, but returned from a 26-month absence with a very creditable second of 13 in a Ffos Las handicap (15.8f, good to soft). Big chance back up in trip here if able to build on that effort.

Meraki Mist (G)
Down the field in novice/maiden hurdles during 2023/24, but better signs switched to handicaps last 2 starts, latterly finding just one too good starting out for this yard following 6 months at Fontwell (19f, good). Solid each-way claims h…

Dudley's Bar (G)
[T]
Ten-race maiden on the Flat and while he wasn't disgraced back from 2 years off when fourth on handicap debut in this sphere at Sedgefield, his effort at the same course 7 days later was not so good.

Milan Milos (G)
Reappearance seventh in a 12-runner Stratford handicap (18.7f, good to soft) was probably his best effort yet, especially given that he was unsuited by way race developed. Eased 2 lb and not without each-way hope.

Perfect Arch (G)
[PT]
Long-standing maiden who has some respectable efforts to his name, but chances are he'll again find one or two too good.

Celine Man (G)
Showed nothing in a couple of runs for Henrietta Knight in 2024 and best watched back from 19 months off on debut for new yard (has undergone a wind op in the meantime).
