Bitsnbuckles (G)
[T]
Winless since handicap debut success at Huntingdon in January 2024, but has performed with credit on a couple of occasions since, including when third in a first-time tongue strap (retained) back at that course last time. One to consider.

Mask Of Zorro (G)
Showed ability in maiden hurdles and has won both starts switched to handicap company over 21.8f at Fontwell, despite his jumping not being foot-perfect. 6 lb rise for latest success looks manageable and this trip should be within range, s…

I Am Spider Man (G)
[H]
Two-time winner for Charles Byrnes at Sligo (good to soft) in 2024, but has offered little in 3 runs on this side of the Irish Sea for two different yards and now makes debut for yet another new stable.

Face d'Music (G)
[P]
Winning hurdler who jumped better than previously when opening chase account at Hereford last November. Well held next 4 starts over fences and while he wasn't entirely disgraced back in this sphere following a break at Ludlow (23.8f, good…

Milan Ac (G)
[B1]
Runner-up in a Ffos Las novice in May 2024, but restricted to just 3 runs since and has shown minimal spark in the process. Hopes now pinned on the addition of blinkers sparking a revival.

See The Green (G)
[B1]
Just a Ludlow juvenile success to his name over hurdles, but has emerged with credit from his last 3 starts, finishing third in handicaps at Stratford, Doncaster and when upped to 23f at Exeter (soft) last time. Forecast quicker ground her…

It's A Breeze (G)
[H]
Has been held back by headstrong tendencies so far, fading into third on his 20.5f Plumpton handicap debut/reappearance last month and subsequently ran even worse dropped to 15.2f at Wincanton. Still lightly-raced and couldn't be in better…

Lelantos (G)
[P]
Quickly returned to hurdles following another unsuccessful attempt over fences during the summer, and made it 5-25 in this sphere when landing an 8-runner handicap at Huntingdon (25f, soft) last month. 4 lb rise fair and should make his pr…

Chedington's Guest (G)

Aided by first-time cheekpieces when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft) last month. Not in the same form under testing conditions dropped to 18.5f at the same course next time, but stepping back up in trip on quic…

Lady Caro (M)
Narrow Plumpton success in March remains her sole success in this sphere from 16 attempts and while she resumed with a couple of creditable placed efforts in September, her form has dipped the last twice. Hopes now pinned on this big jump …

The Italian Fox (G)
No show in trio of novice hurdles at up to 2½m, but it's not hard to envisage improvement from this 5-y-o now that he moves up in trip for this handicap debut. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting, particularly in relation to sta…

Square Du Roule (G)

Several creditable efforts in defeat this year prior to gaining a deserved first success at the chief expense of the re-opposing Chedington's Guest at Exeter (21.6f, soft) on penultimate start. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 16 …
