Arclight (M)
Isn't the easiest to catch right, ran creditably in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham in April but disappointed over hurdles subsequently. Back to form when runner-up in a 2½m chase at Warwick in September and can be competitive if on a…

Fairly useful bumper made a bright start last season, including second in listed novice company (solid form) over C&D. Lost her form after but back on track when making a successful reappearance at Carlisle (second franked form since) and …

Miss Altea Blue (F)

Yet to recapture fairly useful French form but has won a pair of novice hurdles for Paul Nicholls, latterly when landing short odds in routine style at Taunton last time. Still relatively early days but will need to back to her best on ret…

White Noise (M)

Progressive mare left hurdles debut form well behind when scoring on reappearance at Worcester (2m) in October. Took another sizeable step forward when following up decisively on handicap debut at Market Rasen (18.6f) last month. Tongue st…

Tour Ovalie (M)
Could be set for another productive campaign, better than ever when repeating 2024 win in a mares' handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time, doing well to reel in one that got first run. 8 lb higher than when successful in this race last year b…

Useful bumper performer left previous hurdles form behind to win 2m Chepstow novice in the mud in January. Wasn't up to Grade 2 company next time and given a considerate ride when well held on Stratford comeback. Track will suit and no sur…

Golden Falls (F)
[H]
Winner of juvenile hurdle at Dieppe (16.9f) and runner-up in Class 1 listed juvenile over same C&D. Bought for €60,000 from George/Zetterholm yard and possibly needed the run (hood replaced usual tongue tie) on stable debut over C&D. Inter…

Cosy winner over 2m at Worcester in September and found a chunk of improvement when runner-up at Hereford, shaping as though still well-treated. Ran well faced with better company/softer ground when third at Huntingdon latest and strong-tr…
