The Hatchet (G)
£105,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in his only Irish point. Hurdle form is working out well, winning 2m novice at Perth (comfortably making all) prior to splitting a pair of subsequent winners when third under a penalty at Ayr in …

Blazing Echo (G)
Little impact in a pair of bumpers and plenty to find now sent hurdling.

Freddie Steady Go (G)
[T1]
Justified support to win a bumper with a turn of foot here on debut and has cemented a positive start with two subsequent thirds (only just behind improving Get On George at Hexham latterly). Isn't bred to be much but has shown enough to b…

Gaelic Rover (G)
Walk In The Park gelding who showed promise despite falling both starts in Irish points and has shaped well in both starts over hurdles, stepping forward from his debut third when runner-up over C&D last time. Form looks solid and he's fan…

Karma De Cotte (G)
Runner-up on the last of 5 starts in points and only briefly threatened to get involved on Rules debut when fourth in a 7-runner bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Related to French hurdle/chase winners and market can…

Kids Say Lastgojoe (G)
Won a Catterick bumper last year and more like it over hurdles when third of 9 over C&D in October. Said to have bled when pulled up here the following month however, and he has a bit to prove returning from a short break.

Luckie Devil (G)
[H1]
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Luckie Seven. Runner-up in Newcastle bumper in March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). In good hands an…

Made All (G)
[T]
Fair three-time 1m4f winner on the Flat in 2025. Showed an aptitude for hurdling on hurdles bow at Sedgefield earlier this month (not given hard time) but will make more appeal once handicapping.

Breaking Ground (M)
Down-the-field in 2 hurdles at Perth over the summer and makes little appeal this side of handicaps.
