Tomorrow, July 19, 2025HurdleClass 22m

A strong field but SIR GALAHAD still rather stands out. Olly Murphy's charge was well on top at the finish on his Worcester handicap debut and can make light of a 5 lb rise and stretch his unbeaten hurdle record to 5. Last year's runner-up Kihavah should give it another good shot, while Brave Knight and Moon Chime boast progressive profiles. Nibras Gold arrives on the back of 2 Flat wins and may prove best of the James Owen contingent.

    Verdict
    Went 4-4 over hurdles for this yard when accounting for 7 rivals on 2m Worcester handicap debut 31 days ago. Well on top at the finish and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him with further progress likely.

    Fairly useful 2m winner on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and scored 3 times over hurdles for Paul Nicholls last summer. Arrives fit from the Flat and interesting contender in his first handicap hurdle. Also wears cheekpieces for the first time in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Very likeable dual-purpose performer who was second in this last year before filling the same position in the Ebor on the Flat a month later. A bad mistake at halfway excuses a rare below-par run in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in April and he's been in good form on the Flat since. Should go well.

    Verdict
    Progressive on Flat for this yard and also on the up in this sphere, resuming from 6 months off with a 2m handicap win at Hereford in April. Fine third of 16 in the Swinton at Haydock since. Likely to give another good account.

    Verdict
    Won this race 12 months ago and added another C&D success last month. While his course record makes him a dangerous one to discount, a 6 lb rise for last time leaves him 5 lb above the mark he defied last year.

    Goes well fresh and maintained unbeaten Huntingdon record with 2m handicap chase success on reappearance in May. Looked set to go close when departing 2 out at Uttoxeter since. Lowr mark for what is only his second handicap hurdle.

    Failed to win on the Flat but has thrived over hurdles, winning 3 handicap hurdles this spring. Coasted in at Cartmel last time so even a further 9 lb rise may not prevent another bold bid.

    Verdict
    Six-time hurdle winner who made a respectable return to hurdles when third at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in May. In good form on Flat since (won on AW last month) and he's now below his last winning mark over hurdles. Yet another to consider.

    Better than ever when landing hurdle win 4 since joining James Owen at Uttoxeter (2m, good) at the end of June. A well-held fourth on the Flat at Beverley last month but every chance he'll bounce back returned to obstacles.
