The market will reveal plenty here with the trio returning from lengthy absences for new yards all making lots of appeal. CRYSTAL MER looks just about the pick of them with Sean Bowen booked, though Junior des Bordes and Broken Bond are interesting. Scintillante is probably the solid option.

    Signed off for Paul Webber with a good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f) a year ago. Interesting runner starting out for new yard (did very well with Eyed last season from same source).

    Verdict
    Confirmed the promise of his Worcester run (2m) when gaining first hurdles success over the same C&D a fortnight ago. 4 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

    Verdict
    Promise amidst inexperience when third at Ffos Las on debut in October 2022. Didn't back that up when well held at Kempton (soft) on final run for Twiston-Davies team the following month. Has long absence to overcome but could do better now handicapping for yard in red-hot form.

    Verdict
    Off 5 months before an encouraging third of 7 to Royal Max in handicap chase at Sedgefield (16.4f, good) on his debut over fences in April. Failed to back that up at Stratford and he's now back in distance with cheekpieces on first time.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and off mark over hurdles at second attempt at Sedgefield (19.9f, good). Limitations exposed under a penalty over the winter and heavy defeat back on the level in re-fitted cheekpieces 4 weeks ago.

    Not won since 2022 but placed 4 times last season, the latest when third of 9 at Ffos Las in January. Left Kieran Burke for £1,000 and offered little on return here a fortnight ago. Blinkers back on.
