Catterick

Produced a much improved effort back hurdling with a hood retained when scoring at Hereford (2m) in May and having been notably strong in the betting, followed up back on the level over C&D later that month. Stopped quickly on chasing debut at Stratford last month but fancied to get back on track.

Has found his mojo over hurdles in recent weeks, winning back-to-back races at Market Rasen. Unable to land the hat-trick there just under 3 weeks ago (ridden too aggressively) but would be a danger to all if translating his recent hurdles improvement to the Flat.

Regressive handicapper who has offered little for current connections, a recent hollow third at Beverley (1½m, good to firm) his only placing in 18 attempts. Failed to stay on his previous attempt at 2m (on all-weather) so easy to look elsewhere.

Course winner but hasn't shown much in both starts this season. Headgear left off and hopes pinned on a significant step back up in trip working the oracle.

Completed an all-weather hat-trick at Southwell in February. Disappointing efforts on turf the last 3 starts and he's clearly just a better proposition on synthetics.

Bumper winner in 2024 but well beaten in 4 Flat starts, including on handicap debut here (1½m, good) a couple of months ago. Hopes pinned on a first-time tongue tie having a positive effect.
