Selected odds by:
Veteran who matched his French form when scoring over fences at Sedgefield in December. Better than ever when going in again there (17f, heavy) in first-time cheekpieces last month but wasn't in the same form at Newcastle last time and others preferred on this return to hurdling.
|
Dual course winner who returned to form from out of the blue when third in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 36 days ago. Big chance if building on that back down in trip.
|
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Jim Goldie (stays 2¼m), winning 3 times in 2023. Showed an aptitude for hurdling when runner-up first 2 starts but was a shade disappointing in a first-time tongue strap at Ayr last time, hanging left under pressure. Makes handicap debut over hurdles.
|
Promise in bumpers and left previous exploits over hurdles in his wake switched to handicaps/equipped with blinkers when second of 5 at Catterick (15.7f, soft) in February. Not in same groove back up in trip at Musselburgh and again ran below form at Newcastle last time. Change of headgear.
|
Dual course winning hurdler but failed to make much impact in 5 starts over fences last term. Returns to the smaller obstacles now but faces no easy task from 11 lb out of the weights after 11 months off.

Two Auld Pals (15/8), Paddy The Horse (5/2), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (16/5), Duo D'Enfer (9/2), Pavlik (6/1), Shoughall's Boy (28/1)
PADDY THE HORSE is a dual course winner who took a big step back in the right direction when third at Newcastle last month and is well enough handicapped to strike if building on that effort. Pavlik seems to be working his way back to full fitness and is feared most ahead of Two Auld Pals.
