Today, April 24, 2025HurdleClass 42m

Down in a 0-120 for the first time over hurdles, ROCK HOUSE can record his first handicap success for title chasing Dan Skelton. Bashful has been thriving over hurdles this season and merits plenty of respect, while Highlands Legacy could be dangerous back down in distance having not quite seen out the longer trip last time. Vocal Duke, Simple Star and Cuban Cigar all deserve an honourable mention in a very competitive handicap.

    Verdict
    Confirmed himself still in good form when third in a 12-runner Warwick handicap (21f) last month, not quite seeing out the longer trip. Drops markedly in distance but not discounted if getting a good pace to aim at.

    Verdict
    Comfortable C&D winner when last seen over hurdles and returned to form on the Flat 11 days ago, beaten just over 2 lengths in a 12.5f Musselburgh handicap, met trouble in running. That bodes well for his return to this sphere.

    Verdict
    Tricky to catch right but was second in this race from 11 lb higher last year. Hasn't been in anything like that form this season and now retried in different headgear combination. Well-treated if on a going day.

    Verdict
    Successful on debut in points and repeated the feat in bumpers/over hurdles during 2023. Below best in Morebattle Hurdle at the beginning of March but bounced straight back to form when third on chase debut later that month. Respected down in a 0-120 for the first time over hurdles.

    Verdict
    Landed Musselburgh handicap hurdle prior to following up from an 11 lb higher mark at Kelso (16.2f, soft). Ran at least as well in bid for hat-trick when only finding a well handicapped one too good at Ayr in March before disappointing on Flat later that month. Solid claims back over hurdles.

    Verdict
    In and out performer in 4 runs for current yard though on a going day latest, delivering more off the bridle to score in a handicap for the first time (Sedgefield, 16.8f), always holding on. Remains to be seen if he can build on that.

    Verdict
    Useful Irish Flat performer opened hurdles account over C&D and doubled his tally when seeing off 7 rivals in 2m Huntingdon novice handicap in February. Tame effort when pulled-up at Exeter 48 days ago. Freshened up and no surprise to see him bounce back to form.

    Verdict
    Has had a productive season, scoring twice here over hurdles prior to win at Wetherby and Ascot over fences. Shaped better than the bare result having raced close to a strong pace in the Morebattle last time. Has been given time to get over that run and could be a live outsider back down in class.

    Verdict
    Shirocco gelding who built on debut promise to readily land 7-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Ran too badly to be true when off the bridle a long way out at Fontwell subsequently. Has been given a break but needs to bounce back on his return.

    Verdict
    Veteran C&D winner was third in this race last year and took a step back in the right direction at Ayr on penultimate outing. Failed to back that up when disappointing at Ayr 34 days ago. Now only 1 lb above his last winning mark and not dismissed if blinkers can spark a revival.

    Verdict
    Advanced his form when second at Catterick in January. Failed to repeat that at Kelso next time but bounced straight back when creditable third of 6 in a juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (17.4f) last month. Should give a good account in receipt of useful 4-y-o weight allowance.

    Hasn't won since debut for this stable back in July 2022 but handicap mark has fallen significantly, and he has gone well fresh in the past. One to note in the betting on return.

    Enjoyed a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory at Aintree in April. Now races from below that winning mark having endured a poor season, faring no better when well-held at Ayr last month. Leap of faith required.

    Verdict
    Progressed from his hurdling debut when landing a Catterick maiden hurdle in February 2024. However, he's checked out tamely on two runs since (latest after 5 months off) back in October. Something to prove now returning from another absence.
