A Different Kind (G)

Useful chaser back in 2023 but well below form in 3 starts last year (following a lay-off) and fared no better back over hurdles at Carlisle last month following another absence/breathing operation. Plenty to prove now tried in tongue stra…

Brucio (M)
[P1T]
Fairly useful hurdler for Stuart Crawford, winning mares listed handicap in February last year. Unable to match that form over fences and has been brought along gradually by new yard this season. On a handy mark for hurdles return and inte…

North Parade (G)
Ran well to place in a couple of better handicaps on soft ground last season but yet to fire this campaign, typical mistakes/sticking to the inside not helping his cause when well held over a longer trip at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 11 days ago. C…

Haarar (G)
Consistent last season and made a solid reappearance when runner-up at Aintree last month. A few in-behind improved next-time-out but he disappointed when well held third in a 6-runner C&D handicap last time. Too soon to write off given hi…

Pounds At The Time (G)
Runner-up in a bumper for P. Tobin in Ireland and showed much more on second start for new yard when a staying on fourth in a 2m novice at Chepstow last month. Should improve upped in distance on handicap debut and makes plenty of appeal.
