Comment: Free-going front-runner who was a dual chase winner in France last spring and opened his British account with ready success under Sean Bowen at Sedgefield (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago; 7lb higher here but could plausibly have more to offer.

Comment: Has a tendency to race a bit too freely but started off for the Pogson stable with two C&D wins (both on good to soft) in March and has also performed well on good ground on all three subsequent appearances; likely to be right in the thick of things again.

Comment: Placed on five of his seven hurdling starts; does not appear to be making any progress but went down fighting when second at Hereford (2m3f, good; front pair well clear) last month and is a leading contender here.

Comment: Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here.
