Fostered Phil (G)
[T]
Veteran who scored at Perth (2m4f) in September and has continued in good nick, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly off a 2 lb lower mark.

Platin Moon (G)
FAV
[H]
Placed on sole Flat start in France and has shown promise in this sphere, going too keenly when sixth in 19.5f handicap at Ayr 32 days ago. This drop in trip should suit and he's a likely player off 2 lb lower with the hood refitted.

Chosen Hero (M)
[P]
Chepstow 2m novice hurdle winner in January 2024 but largely below form last term for Archie Watson. Starts out for a new yard here after 8 months off with lots more required.

Gandhi Maker (G)
[T]
Out of sorts in the spring for Rebecca Menzies and he was pulled up on his sole run for David Thompson in C&D handicap in April. Has lots to prove starting out for another new stable here.

Voodoo Angel (M)
[P]
Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs to back it up with headgear again sported.

Gone With The Tide (G)
[H]
Irish point winner but only modest form at best over hurdles and pulled up in 2m4f Ayr handicap on his return last month. Hood goes back on with lots more required.

Kellie's Dream (M)
A dual hurdles winner for Andrew Slattery in Ireland and has made the frame on a couple of occasions for present connections. Looked in need of the run when a fading ninth at Ayr (19.5f, soft) on return and she's handily weighted off a 3 l…

Wor Lad (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't disgraced in first-time blinkers when fifth of 6 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Musselburgh (17.4f, good) 8 months ago. No forlorn hope now going into handicaps.

Rock N Roll Champ (G)
[P1]
Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and possibilities.

Boyneside (G)
Placed on a couple of occasions during 2023/24 campaign, but he was well held back from a 17-month absence (also first run following a wind op) at Kelso 26 days ago. Has lots to prove.
