Comment: Returning from a long absence but there was heaps of promise in his three bumpers behind talented opposition, notably the second to the smart Queensbury Boy at this track; major player if he can resume at the same level; has only raced on soft or heavy.

Comment: Placed in all three handicaps, most recently when keeping on well for clear third behind two progressive rivals at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but has claims if handling the slower ground.

Comment: Absent since below-par run in June 2024 and resumes with career strike-rate standing at 0-20 but was unlucky not to win over C&D (heavy) in January 2024 (in front before last-flight unseat) and the booking of Sean Bowen makes him well worth a glance in the market.

Comment: 0-6 over hurdles for Anthony Charlton; seemingly aided by cheekpieces when placed in two handicaps (both 2m3f) in early part of this year and subsequent defeat is best overlooked (bad jumping error ended chance) but has fitness to prove on stable debut and the headgear is missing.
