Woodythewoodpecker (G)
Best effort when fourth of 9 in Ffos Las maiden in 2024/25. Behind in handicaps last 2 starts, albeit probably at a disadvantage sticking towards unfavoured inside early in straight.

Johnny Boy (G)
Steadily progressed in maiden/novice hurdles. Tailed off on handicap debut/reappearance at Uttoxeter, possibly needing the run after 10 months off.

Neptune House (G)
Little show in bumpers/over hurdles and is probably more a chaser than hurdler on pedigree/physique.

Flash In The Pan (G)
FAV
[P]
Won at C&D (50/1) two starts ago, then placed third here in similar grade. Struggled in higher-grade race at Warwick (11/1) on soft ground last month. Should benefit from return to venue of only career win.

Bredon Hill Dart (G)
[P]
Won a hurdle at Newton Abbot in June but pulled up in handicap hurdle of 9 runners at Fontwell Park (14/1) 12 days ago, never going a yard. Needs to bounce back.

Shorten Sassy (M)
FAV
Probably flattered when 10 lengths second of 4 to an improving mare on handicap debut over C&D in May. Probably needed the run when beating only one home in 7-runner event back here 6 months later but remains with little solid form.

Locked On (G)
Has shown little in 5 starts, finishing last of 6 in novice hurdle at Kempton Park (125/1) on most recent outing, but could show more now switching to a low-grade handicap given his pedigree.

Pooley's Promise (M)
Got off the mark at Ffos Las (3m) in May and backed it up with a solid fourth at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) later that month. Probably needed the run when well beaten at Leicester 6 months later. Could show more now stepping back up i…

Call Your Bluff (G)
[T]
Showed no improvement when eighth of 14 in handicap at Wincanton (18/1) 30 days ago. Enough to prove in a refitted tongue strap.

Glengolly (G)
[TP]
Remains with just one standout effort for current yard but is entitled to be sharper for his Ffos Las reappearance and has eased another 2 lb.
