Was 2-3 on the AW until disappointing at Kempton two months ago but he had been running well in the blinkers (reapplied) and he's a three-time turf winner on a competitive mark.
AI verdict

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 11/1.

Four-time hurdle winner who has won her last two Flat races, comfortably defying a penalty at the expense of Zimmerman at Catterick (2m, good); 6lb rise isn't the end of the world, especially in view of her hurdling ability.
AI verdict

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival.
AI verdict

SR 52 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Won 1m6f/2m handicaps on yielding when trained in Ireland; added two more on the AW for this yard before an underwhelming run at Carlisle where perhaps the ground was too soft; he's another with each-way claims.
AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; hasn't run at all badly in his two races this campaign and couldn't rule out.

SR 72 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature.
AI verdict

SR 65 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

A fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott but signed off for that yard out form and was beaten a long way on yard debut on the AW (1m4f).

SR 36 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Kept on well to finish ahead of Lady Phoebe at Newcastle (2m) but he's inconsistent and has yet to prove himself on turf.

Won over hurdles in March but hasn't offered a great deal since, in that discipline and back on the Flat; has become hard to predict.

Lightly raced and first run at 2m when beaten a shade under 6l at Lingfield (good), though could have been flattered from the front; others have more concrete claims.

Started off for Mike Sowersby with three good runs last autumn (all 2m, Tapeta) but his form then dipped and he's returning from a lengthy break; remains a maiden.
AI verdict

SR 40 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.
