Abbey Scope (G)
Telescope gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April. Shaped well after 7 months off when third of 8 in novice at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) on his hurdles bow 26 days ago so must enter cal…

Barrakilla Vage (G)
[H]
Modest form in bumpers but not disgraced (tongue tied) on just his second hurdling start when fourth of 14 in novice at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 20 days ago on his final run for Edward Power. This demands a big step forward though.

Judicial Deference (G)
FAV
[T]
Points winner who made a promising start in this sphere on the back of wind surgery (also tongue tied) when second of 9 in novice hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 23 days ago. This son of Jukebox Jury holds very good form claims.

Masterminding (G)
[T]
A modest maiden on Flat and yet to make any impact over hurdles, only seventh of 9 in novice at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 53 days ago. Hard to warm to.

The G Wizard (G)
Runner-up in a maiden point and he built on hurdling debut promise when occupying the same position in 4-runner novice at Kelso (20.9f, heavy) 34 days ago. Well in the mix with further progress on the cards.

Who's Glen (G)
A useful 14f Flat winner at his best for Andrew Balding in 2025. Since changed hands for 22,000 guineas and he's much respected on his yard/hurdling bow here.
