George Henry (G)
[T]
Fair maiden hurdler who signed off last term with a very good third of 4 in handicap at Wincanton (21.4f, good) in March. Since had a wind op so he must enter calculations on his seasonal return.

Block Rockin Beats (G)
Useful in bumpers. Hasn't bettered fair form over hurdles but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 41 days ago. One to consider, especially now stepping up in trip.

Diamond Geezer (G)
FAV
[P]
Deservedly got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f) in October and backed it up with a solid third of 6 in 19f Warwick handicap following month. A likely player stepping up in trip now off 1 lb lower mark.

S Bowen | O Murphy | 6 | 73.5 kg |

Rock On Cassie (M)
A fairly useful 2m4f winning hurdler in 2022 but she's been off for over 2 years since tailed off in a novice chase at Clonmel on her final run for Gordon Elliott. Has her fitness to prove for a new yard here.

Fontana Ellissi (G)
[T]
It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in last of 3 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) in March. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return.

| 2nd | 6 | — |
Harmony Heights (M)
Lightly-raced maiden who posted a good third of 7 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 36 days ago. Goes into handicaps now but others look better treated at these weights.
|
J J Burke | F O'Brien | 6 | 72.1 kg |

| 7th | 7 | — |
Night Stalker (G)
Remains winless but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (24.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Merits consideration once more from a slipping mark.

M Goldstein | Miss S West | 5 | 71.2 kg |

| 5th | 8 | — |
Icaque de L'Isle (G)
C&D winner who wasn't discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, soft) 29 days ago. Can give another good account off an unchanged mark.
|
J M Quinlan | R Bandey | 7 | 71.2 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | — |
Has Troke (G)
Unreliable type but he was on his A-game back hurdling when landing handicap over C&D in February. Off since but can't be dismissed if ready to roll.

Kielan Woods | A M Hales | 8 | 71.2 kg |

My Cullen (G)
In good form without winning until only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

Brendan Powell | Miss H C Knight | 5 | 70.8 kg |
