Jethros Of Haltwhistle Cafe And Restaurant Handicap Hurdle

Likeable sort with an excellent strike rate under Rules, producing another improved showing to score at Cartmel last month. Progressed again when narrowly denied over C&D since. Nudged up another 5 lb but still much respected.

Useful Flat winner who was placed twice in 2m handicap hurdles in March but she does need to shrug off a couple of lesser efforts since.

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in Ireland. Creditable fourth on Down Royal handicap debut last September but off since unseating at Downpatrick later that month. Remains unexposed and betting interesting back from 9 months off.

Useful hurdler/chaser at his best. Not so good nowadays but landed a C&D handicap last autumn. Pulled up over fences at Ayr in March and freshened up since.

A three-time 2m winner last June, including here. Stepped up on his reappearance when third at Southwell (20.5f0 under Brian Hughes 19 days ago. On a winning mark and needs considering.

Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who produced an improved performance to get off the mark on third start for this yard at Sedgefield in February. Back from a lesser run at Musselburgh when a creditable fourth at Cartmel 4 weeks ago.

On a hat-trick after maiden/novice wins around 2m last month. His opening handicap mark in this sphere looks fair so he ought to go well if his stamina holds.
