Times A Wastin (G)
Still looking for first success and proved disappointing on final 2 starts for Fergal O'Brien. Likely best watched on debut for new yard here.

Chevington (G)
Posted best effort in this sphere when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm) 19 months ago. Not seen since, however, and market may prove best guide to claims on return/handicap debut.

Tom Broughton | A Ralph | 6 | 76.2 kg |

Regal Cavalier (G)
Modest on Flat. Possibly flattered when runner-up in a slowly run race at Ludlow, failing to back up that effort when well-held fourth in 2m Worcester maiden in May. Will need to improve to defy a stiff opening mark on handicap debut.

Charlie Hammond | M Young | 5 | 76.2 kg |

New Invention (G)
[T]
Ran with promise at Newcastle on hurdles bow in February but failed to progress in a couple of outings since and makes limited appeal now sent handicapping.

Toby Wynne | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 5 | 73.9 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | — |
East End Girl (M)
C&D winner in 2023 who shaped as if needing the run, back from 16 months off, when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Claims if building on that.

C Gethings | A Ralph | 8 | 73.5 kg |

Daany (G)
[H]
Three-time winner over hurdles in 2024. Not threatened in a trio of starts on level this year but warrants respect back over timber here.

Lorcan Williams | J Tickle | 8 | 72.6 kg |

Jack The Boss (G)
Only seen twice since his Wetherby debut success last year and showed signs of temperament when well beaten at Sedgefield 26 days ago. Plenty to prove on handicap debut.

Theo Gillard | D McCain Jnr | 4 | 72.1 kg |

Ezmerellda (M)
Modest hurdler at best for Alan King who offered little on first outing since leaving that yard when a well-held fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, good to firm, 25/1) in March. Off since.

Shane Fenelon | S-J Davies | 5 | 70.8 kg |

Bluenose Belle (M)
Made a winning handicap debut at Fontwell in April and found a bit of improvement to follow up at Market Rasen 4 weeks later. Back from 7 months off when creditable second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 18/1) 26 d…

Ten Ten Twenty (G)
[T]
Won a brace of handicap hurdles (at up to 20.6f) in July 2024 prior to find only one too good in hat-trick bid at Bangor. Posted creditable third on Flat at Wolverhampton last month and well worth a second look now returning to hurdling.

Make Sunshine (M)
Maiden under various codes who bettered her yard debut going from the front when third at this course (19.7f) back in March. Below that level on next 2 starts, however, and took a heavy fall on her recent return at Lingfield.

Ned Fox | R Potter | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Inion Tiogair (M)
FAV
[B]
Bumper winner who returned from a break in good nick, finishing a good second at Lingfield and Doncaster last month. Not in same form at Ludlow latest but can't be ruled out here.

Joe Anderson | G Harris | 8 | 69.9 kg |

Famoso (G)
FAV
Yet to fire this season over hurdles or fences and tumbling down the weights as a result. Remains hard to recommend.

No Guarantee (G)
[VT]
Belatedly off the mark when taking 6-runner novice claiming hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. This is much more competitive but he warrants respect.

James Turner | A Gibbons | 5 | 68.5 kg |

Kotgar (G)
Fair maiden on the Flat in France but regressed over hurdles last season and no signs of improvement more recently.

Now Then Wendy (M)
[T1]
Fair Flat winner who posted her best effort over timber when fourth at Huntingdon (15.8f) in March. Not built on that in a couple of outings this term, though.
