Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland. Placed all 5 starts over fences for his current yard, a good third of 7 in handicap chase at Newbury 25 days ago. Can go well back in this sphere with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.
|
Course winner who comes here on the back of a good third of 6 in handicap hurdle over C&D 120 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on and in the mix after a break.
|
C&D winner took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good) 25 days ago. Firmly in the picture off a falling mark.
|
Continues out of sorts, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, good) 15 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time with work to do.
|
Dual hurdles/chase winner who was largely disappointing during a light 2023/24 campaign for Toby Lawes and hasn't really got back on track for present stable this term.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who failed to build on his reappearance third when last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 88 days ago. Needs to bounce back with cheekpieces left off now.
|
Got off the mark at Hexham in March and backed it up with a solid seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good) 25 days ago, undone by a bad error 3 out. Remains a likely player.
|
Course winner but cheekpieces on for 1st time when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f) 131 days ago on his final run for Simon Earle. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence.
|
Got back on track when third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f, good) 14 days ago. Possibilities off an unchanged mark.
|
Still a maiden but he posted a very good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good) 12 days ago. Can give another good account off 2 lb higher mark.

Forecasts
Art Of Diplomacy (5/2), Stratton Oakmont (4/1), Uokhun (11/2), My Gift To You (7/1), Caher Roes Den (8/1), For Gina (9/1), Ballela Blaze (11/1), Rare Clouds (22/1), Jackpot D'athou (25/1), Zacony Rebel (66/1)
A few with chances but Tim Easterby's UOKHUN has taken his form up a notch since tackling staying trips and is fancied to resume winning ways having been scuppered by a late mistake when seventh at Musselburgh last time out. Ballela Blaze heads the list of dangers on the back of an improved Plumpton second, with the handily-weighted Stratton Oakmont and in-form pair My Gift To You and Art of Diplomacy also in the mix.
- Uokhun11/2
- Ballela Blaze11/1
