Comment: Broke losing run when beating a subsequent winner on good ground at Huntingdon on penultimate start (second run for yard) and ran at least as well up in trip at same venue last time; likely to go well.

Comment: Good-ground 2m winner at Perth last summer; respectable efforts when last seen in February and has since had wind surgery; on a good mark if that has a positive effect.

4/1

Comment: Running well of late and, although she's 0-23 over hurdles, there's no reason why she won't give another good account.

7/1

Comment: Suited by a sound surface and back to winning ways (twice) in October; shaped as though latest effort was just needed following a break of over three months; likely to run well.

12/1

Comment: Multiple Flat winner who has scored twice over hurdles; below best over fences when last seen in November and probably one to watch on this first hurdle start for over two years.

22/1

Comment: Multiple hurdle winner on a sound surface but wasn't in much form when last seen at the end of 2024; return to a sound surface should suit and on same mark as last win but only of interest if the market speaks.

Comment: Fair Flat maiden who has yet to win over hurdles; switch to handicap and return to a sound surface should suit and has had a wind op; opening mark on the harsh side but he's likely capable of better.

Foshan

25/1

Comment: Achived little on the Flat or over hurdles and, although he's had wind surgery since his last start, makes no appeal from 6lb out of the handicap.

Comment: Sole hurdle win came at this venue over further (on quick ground) in 2022; hasn't had too much racing since and has been pointing; plenty to prove after absence on first run for trainer.
