It could pay to side with handicap debutant I AIN'T YOUR MATE, who left the impression that he's starting to get the hang of things when fourth at Wincanton on his final run of last season and this stiffer test will be right up his street. Cases can be made for An Buachaill Rua, Following Chapter and The Last Drop, while it's hard to rule out Getaway With You, who arrives here on the crest of a wave.

    Verdict
    Has thrived since a tongue strap was combined with cheekpieces, landing a quickfire hat-trick over hurdles with an easy success at Lingfield (19.6f, good) 6 days ago. Still 4 lb well-in under a penalty and likely to be firmly in the mix once more.

    Verdict
    Bought for £120,000 after placing in a couple of Irish points and the latest of last season's 3 runs in this sphere was a step in the right direction, finishing fourth of 14 in a Wincanton maiden hurdle (15.2f, soft). Open to improvement now moving up in trip for this handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Failed to trouble the judge in 3 starts in maiden/novice company last term, but there was encouragement in the latest of those qualifying runs and again when fourth of 12 on return/handicap bow at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft). Likely to benefit from this stiffer test and he's one to consider.

    Verdict
    Point winner who failed to improve on what he showed during the spring on return/handicap debut at Chepstow last month, but subsequent effort at Hereford (19.7f, good) represented a step in the right direction. One to consider.

    Verdict
    Rounded off last season on a high, registering his fourth success here by landing a C&D handicap in May. Not at his best in a couple of starts this time round, but he has since undergone a wind op and is dangerous to discount back at this venue.

    Verdict
    Modest maiden on balance and while the assessor is showing mercy (now 8 lb lower than when making her handicap debut during the spring), she essentially looks vulnerable for win purposes.

    Verdict
    Sole success from 21 starts over hurdles was gained at Southwell in May 2024. Opened chase account off this mark in February, but below par since and he's entitled to need the run following a 9-month absence.

    Verdict
    Little show in bumpers and it's been much of the same in maiden/novice hurdles since returning to action in September. Likely to be better off now venturing down the handicap route, but others are preferred all the same.
