Bridge North (G)
[P]
Quirky sort (fairly useful at best for Henry Daly) showed more spark in a change of headgear (retained) when runner-up at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Well-treated on best form and hasn't been long with excellent new yard.

Stratton Oakmont (G)
Relished testing conditions (previous 2 wins on heavy) when making a winning return from wind surgery at Exeter (23.1f, soft) last month. There have been a few improvers from that race and he merits respect despite a 9 lb rise.

Monty Bodkin (G)
[T]
Attractive gelding was a promising bumper winner at this track for Ben Pauling but has clearly had issues since joining current yard, given another breathing operation prior to a considerate comeback at Worcester (23f) 59 days ago. Worth a…

Heather Honey (M)
FAV
Progressive mare shaped well in a stronger race at Aintree (solid form) prior to landing her fourth win from 6 starts (all on ground good or better) when a ready winner at Catterick (25.3f) last month. Races in a similar grade here and one…

Breezethroughlife (G)
[T]
Confirmed promise of Irish maiden hurdle debut when making a successful start for the Neil King yard in a weak maiden 4-runner at Fakenham (20f) in October. Ran poorly in a better race at Kempton the following month and remains to be seen …

Betty's Tiara (M)
[PT]
Belatedly off the mark in a 5-runner novice at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) and ran to a similar level back in a handicap when third at Stratford (22f). Below par under a penalty back in a Exeter novice last time but may be seen to better effec…

Not A Light (G)
[H1]
Placed in points/bumper and scored over hurdles in maiden at Hexham in December 2024. Beaten favourite on handicap bow prior to finishing well held on chase debut/reappearance at Windsor last month. Lightly raced for age and worth a market…

Diamond Koda (G)
[P1]
Maiden has proven expensive to follow, with a string of runner-up finishes to his name. Proved he retains ability when fourth in a 5-runner handicap on comeback at Southwell last month but cheekpieces will need to sharpen up his jumping on…

Romeo Brown (G)
[P]
Veteran front-runner capitalised on a career-low mark when landing his first success for nearly 3 years over C&D last month. However that was a thin 4-runner handicap and he has more on his plate in a deeper race.
