Comment: Unexposed 5yo who held on well to make winning seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (3m, soft; front pair clear) this month; recent 5lb rise does not look excessive and he can improve again if this drop back in trip suits.

Comment: Largely consistent 6yo who opened account here (2m7f, good to soft; front pair clear) 12 days ago, his 11th hurdling start; not sure to be as well suited by today's trip-and-ground combination but evidently in good nick.

Comment: Always behind in three 2m Worcester maiden/novice hurdles this summer/autumn (good/good to soft) but represents a top stable and is bred to be better suited by this stiffer stamina test; no surprise if a much more dynamic performance is forthcoming on this handicap debut.

Don Brocco

Jockey: Bruce Lynn Trainer: Gary Rutherford Age/Wt: 9/10-2 F: P1P3-P OR: 86

Comment: Won at Carlisle (3m, soft) in February and 2l third behind two of these over this C&D (good to soft) in March; however, he's 8lb out of the handicap today and was pulled up on his recent reappearance here.

Largy Train

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: H Hogarth Age/Wt: 8/12-0 F: 15/4-2 OR: 99

Comment: Won over C&D in March 2024 (heavy; middle leg of a hat-trick) and returned from an absence with close second at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago; major player if this second run back doesn't come too soon.

5 tips

Comment: Had been struggling for form but rediscovered spark in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up here (3m, good to soft) 12 days ago; shaped as though this drop back in trip could be a plus and he can be bang there if the cheekpieces maintain their effect; won on heavy ground over hurdles.

Comment: Easy win over C&D (good to soft) on last month's stable/seasonal debut and second of 16 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) since; has won on heavy ground here; could have more to offer for this yard; firmly in calculations.

Comment: Yet to threaten under rules and only seventh of 13 on his handicap and chase debut at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in February when last seen; however, this four-time point runner-up has had wind surgery since and is not written off in a first-time tongue-tie.

Lewa House

Comment: Sole win (from 27 attempts) came over hurdles here in November 2022; runner-up twice earlier this year (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft; including here) and he could build on his recent comeback fifth; each-way shout.

Stowaway John

Jockey: P W Wadge Trainer: Miss S E Forster Age/Wt: 11/10-9 F: 1/470- OR: 80

Comment: Won at 22-1 over C&D (heavy) in March 2024 but good runs were scarce that season and he was well beaten on both outings last winter; absent since and this 11yo may be best watched on his return.

Knightphase

Jockey: Peter Kavanagh Trainer: W Coltherd Age/Wt: 6/10-2 F: PP-7P OR: 70

Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: J Walton Age/Wt: 12/10-2 F: 83P49- OR: 69

Trigg

Jockey: Miss Heidi Palin Trainer: D Skelton Age/Wt: 4/11-9 F: 1

Comment: Came from off the pace to beat his nine rivals on debut at Worcester (good to soft) in September; has penalty offset by Heidi Palin's 7lb claim and has very obvious claims if he copes with the slower ground.

Comment: Seventh foal; half-brother to winners Ryedale Racer (bumper/hurdle), Zara's Universe (2m/2m1f chase) and Lady Babs (multiple 2m1f hurdle); dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner; might need to be useful to win on debut.

Hurlyburly

Jockey: B S Hughes Trainer: Jedd O'Keeffe Age/Wt: 4/11-2

Comment: £17,000 3yo; seventh foal; half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Arvico Bleu; dam unplaced at 7f/1m, closely related to smart bumper winner Samain; stable is not prolific in bumpers.

No Walkover

Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: D Pipe Age/Wt: 4/11-2

Comment: Half-brother to useful jumper Laganhill; dam bumper-winning half-sister to high-class jumper Wishfull Thinking; close second in heavy-ground Irish point on debut in February, drawing well clear of the others with one who subsequently changed hands for £400,000; new stable does well in bumpers; needs to be taken very seriously.
