Country Land And Business Association Handicap Hurdle

Dual winner at this sort of trip early last year. Hasn't added to those victories since but ended last term with creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) and returns to action off a handy mark.

Lightly-raced maiden who posted solid second of 6 in novice hurdle over C&D (good, 14/1) on debut for new yard 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that and must enter calculations.

Back from 6 months off when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Remains low mileage and is not taken lightly.

Winner on Flat in France and best effort in maiden/novice company came when fourth at Chepstow in January. Flying too high in subsequent starts, for all she showed up well for a long way before finishing last at Cheltenham in April. Back in calmer waters on return but will need to improve.

Disappointed on last start over timber at Chepstow in March and arrives on back of poor effort here on level. Others more appealing.

Still looking for first success and no signs of improvement on yard debut in Worcester handicap hurdle 43 days ago.

Has really found his feet of late, right back to his best when notching a third win from his last 4 starts in this sphere over C&D (good, 7/2) 12 days ago. 4 lb higher now but must be taken seriously.

Posted best effort in this sphere when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (20/1) over C&D (soft) in April. 1 lb lower on return and could be a player.

Dual chase winner in France but rarely threatened on these shores, including on debut for this yard at Newton Abbot last month. Returns to hurdling with plenty to prove.

Nine-race maiden over hurdles who made the frame in several handicaps back in 2023. Not seen since but has the assistance of Sean Bowen and needs monitoring in the market.

No real impact in maiden/novice hurdles this year. Likely to do better now sent handicapping but his opening mark could have been kinder.

Made the frame 3 times in this sphere before opening his account over fences at Leicester (15.9f) in February. Not seen since disappointing over larger obstacles at Bangor in February, though, and others look better treated.

Placed in points and left previous Rules form behind when narrowly prevailing on handicap debut at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) in February. Below that level in both starts this term but return to likely slower ground may see her in a better light here.
