Settings
Selected odds by:
11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Up 4 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.
|
Arrives out of sorts, sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
|
Got off the mark at Kempton in April but only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Not proving easy to catch right.
|
A fair 1m2f Flat winner who opened his account in this sphere at Stratford last month. Backed it up with a very good third of 7 there 12 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up.
|
Remains a maiden after 22 runs but shaped well on yard debut (formerly with Tom Dreaper) when second of 10 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Can go well again despite a 5 lb weights rise.
|
Modest 1m Flat winner but yet to fire in three runs in this sphere, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.
|
A 4-time C&D winner who posted a solid third of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. One to consider.
|
It's now 11 runs since her last win in 2023 but not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to firm) 37 days ago. No forlorn hope.
|
Quirky sort who came in last of 5 in handicap chase (12/1) at Worcester (16.5f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches to hurdles with more required.
|
Tongue tied and advanced his form on yard debut (formerly with Jeremy Scott) when a clear second of 14 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 9 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.
|
Only one win from 28 runs and he came in a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 33 days ago. Others appeal more.
|
Winless since early 2023 and he has been off for 7 months since a below-form sixth here (19.9f, heavy). Others are much preferred.
|
C&D winner in 2022. Only twice raced since following year and shaped as if still in need of the run when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 23 days ago. Can build on it now.
|
Twelve runs since his last win in 2024 and tried visored when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f) 23 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Diesel Line (11/10), Papa Barns (5/1), Ambassador (7/1), Ez Tiger (9/1), Al Mootamarid (10/1), Normandy Legend (16/1), Trafalgar Square (16/1), Stopherandgo (20/1), Lady Gwen (20/1), Huit Reflets (25/1), Leopolds Rock (33/1), Fine Point (33/1), Cawthorne Banker (40/1), Gerard Mentor (40/1), Gower Prince (40/1), Dynamite Defense (66/1)
DIESEL LINE took his form up a level for his new stable when runner-up over C&D last time and is hard to side against off the same mark here. Papa Barns also took a step forward on his yard debut when second at Worcester last month and rates the main danger, while Ez Tiger, Al Mootamarid and Ambassador also need factoring in.
