|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Blue Universe (G)
Still a maiden over hurdles but only gave best to a better-treated rival at Huntingdon in early-February and should be in the mix again.

Calshot Spit (G)
Helped by a wayward runner-up when making a winning reappearance over 2¼m here (soft) in December and has had plausible excuses for both subsequent defeats over C&D.

Spanish Dancer (G)
Shaped with some promise on hurdling debut and following a forgivable effort on his qualifying run at Lingfield in early February, he could be worth another chance now handicapping over a longer trip.

Jefe Triunfo (G)
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner has gone backwards since finishing third in a valuable novice handicap at Worcester, faring no better on reappearance at Plumpton last time. Yard also saddles Superstylin.

Superstylin (G)
FAV
[T]
Notched third win of the season in a handicap chase here last month, and while not at his best in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) when distant second of 4 at Plumpton on latest start, he's fancied to go well off his appreciably lower …

Easter Icon (G)
Suited by the step back up in trip when fourth of 9 at Stratford last time. That was his best effort this season, and though back down in distance here, he's 1-1 at Fontwell.

U/0054B- | Isabelle Ryder | G Brown | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Bushstreet Bowman (G)
Down the field both starts in handicaps, though he shaped as if better for the run at Chepstow last time, and quickly finds himself on a more realistic mark.

Bread And Butter (G)

Veteran failed to build on a more promising effort when well beaten at Wincanton last time and his mark continues to slide.

Nelson Gate (G)
[P]
Fair Flat maiden (stays 1½m) hasn't kicked on since finishing runner-up here on hurdling bow (well held at Sandown in January), though he receives a handy 4-y-o allowance on handicap debut and could improve for the longer trip/refitting of…

Dontaskchris (G)
[H1]
Well held both completed starts over hurdles in 2024 (also refused to race) and it's hard to be confident now sent handicapping in first-time hood on the back of a 23-month absence.

Hiero Sport (G)
[HT]
Hasn't stood much racing for his age but ran creditably on return from a further 3 months off when third of 7 in a first-time tongue strap at Huntingdon. Worth noting in the betting (well backed for sole previous success).
