Ballymackie (G)
FAV
[T]
A dual winning Irish pointer but only modest form shown in four runs over fences for Laura Morgan, cheekpieces on when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, soft) 12 months ago. Could still do better for his new yard so not writte…

Pulse Of Camelot (G)
Made an encouraging start when third in 2m5f hunter chase at Clonmel in 2024 but well held in a trio of maiden hurdles for his current yard last term. Back from 11 months off with plenty to prove.

Dj Pete (G)
Still a maiden but he posted a good second of 8 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, soft) 39 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark.

Moor End (G)
Made a winning start over fences at Uttoxeter in October and backed it up with a good third of 6 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good) 31 days ago. Can make his presence felt once more.

Kitsilano (G)
[P1]
A fair ex-Irish winning hurdler in 2023 but yet to match that form in this sphere for his current yard, coming in last of 3 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Kapamazov (G)
[P]
Remains winless but he made a promising start for new yard (formerly with James Evans) after 6 months off when second of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now and a bold sho…

Ffree Pedro (G)
[P]
A fair maiden hurdler at his best for Donald McCain in 2023/24 (also pulled up on his chasing bow at Wetherby). Not seen since landing 3 points in summer 2024 so has his fitness to prove.

Great Ballinboris (G)
[BT]
Poor maiden hurdler/chaser. Pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Hard to make a case for.
