Esprit Du Potier (G)
Dual bumper/hurdle winner who showed he retains his ability after a long absence when fourth in a 7-runner Ayr handicap last month. No show at Haydock next time, but perhaps that race came too soon and he's worth a second look for the yard…

Baratablet (G)
FAV
Yet to finish out of the first 3 and raised his game another notch when accounting for 12 rivals on return in a 20.3f Newcastle handicap. 7 lb rise fair enough and this trip shouldn't be an issue, so it's pretty much all positive where thi…

Both Barrels (G)
Off the mark over C&D on final run of 2023/24 campaign and also ended last season on a winning note in a 20.4f Ayr handicap. However, he finished neared last than first on his reappearance and may need another run or two before reaching co…

Eloi Du Puy (G)
Four-time winner of handicap hurdles at up to 21f during 2023/24 campaign, but only seen out twice last season and opposable back in this sphere following a couple of unsuccessful attempts over fences last month.

Magic Wave (G)
Very lightly-raced 9-y-o who cashed in on a falling mark in a 20.8f handicap here in April. No disgrace in finishing third of 7 over this C&D the following month and his record when fresh is a good one, so there's cause for optimism.

Parisian Fashion (M)
Successful Irish pointer who opened her account under Rules in a Newcastle maiden hurdle in March. Made the frame switched to handicaps next 2 starts and, though well below par last time, she wouldn't be without hope if able to put her bes…

Pure Sirloin (G)
[V]
Just the one win to his name, namely a Navan handicap hurdle back in 2023 for Gavin Cromwell. More miss than hit for present yard and looks up against it from 9 lb out of the weights.
