Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly.
Third in an Irish point; beaten 20l in a bumper and even further on hurdle debut at Downpatrick, though did run well for a long way latterly; every chance in this weak a race.
SR 37 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
SR 37 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Won a Class 6 handicap on the Flat last year over 1m3f (on good ground); ran better on his hurdle debut at Hexham (good to soft) than his margin of defeat may suggest; this surface will suit him better.
Seven-race maiden for the Gosdens but suffered a few near misses at up to 1m6f; made a quiet stable debut on the Flat (tongue tied after wind surgery) but that was in a strong handicap at York; could make a hurdler.
SR 53 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Has struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but his penultimate Flat run was encouraging and this is his first time in a seller.
Only 7l away when fourth at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in March and remains on a good mark; without a win since 2023 but has possbilities; Leah Noreci is his regular partner.
SR 78 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Second to progressive rival at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in November and running well before penultimate-flight fall next time; below that level when a remote second at Hexham but he's better than that and now goes in a tongue-tie.
His last two runs have been disappointing but he could bounce back around here where he was twice runner-up over C&D last summer.
Relegated into a seller and he has form claims, having finished runner-up on two occasions this year; however, he did run desperately only ten days ago.
Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen.
SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Longstanding maiden and no recent evidence to suggest she's about to put that right.
Yet to win in 37 runs Flat and jumps; beaten a long way in a non-handicap seller last time.
SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Lightly raced but looks limited and she's 13lb out of the weights on handicap debut; tries cheekpieces.
Has plenty of form around here over hurdles and fences, and very nearly won this race 12 months ago off 1lb higher (under Charlotte Jones); ran surprisingly well when 125-1 for a Class 2 at Haydock last time; in the mix.
Second here on Saturday and third on Monday in first-time blinkers, though she was some 22l off the winner; opposable should she run yet again.
SR 81 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
The winner of two 2m1f novice events here (good to soft/good) last summer; however, she dropped out very tamely in a 3m1f handicap here on Saturday.
SR 92 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Consistent mare who made all in a 2m4f maiden at Perth (good) and therefore brings momentum into her handicap return; this mark could be okay.
SR 85 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
SR 90 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
SR 93 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb.
SR 73 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Three course wins over 2m6f; below par in two races before finishing fifth behind Evenwood Sonofagun here on Monday; has to step up.
Nearly two years since he won a race but arrives here after solid seconds in handicaps at about 3m2f; surprising to see the hood missing but he's still much respected.
After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred.
Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty.
After three successive pull-ups over fences he got back on track when close up in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here on Monday when in a first-time visor; if turned out again he'd command a level of respect.
SR 67 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
A fading third over fences here on Saturday (2m5f, good) when all headgear was left off; back hurdling off 1lb higher (out of the weights) and stamina could be stretched over this far.
Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk.
SR 107 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Both wins over hurdles were here; runner-up in two of his four chase starts, the latest here on Saturday when no match for the winner over 3m1f; fine over this far and has clear claims.
Four-time hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences (despite a lower mark) and was beaten a good way at Hexham (3m) on his return to this discipline after a break; the other two appeal more.
Caughtinyourtrance owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (74) and market confidence (93). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
Flat/hurdle winner who left Dan Skelton for 4,400gns; finished a clear second at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft; effective on good) on stable/chase debut and the revitalised winner has struck again since; gets in here off the same mark.
SR 80 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Close second over fences at Catterick in January (1m7f, good) but mainly poor efforts since, the latest in a selling hurdle.
Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well.
SR 88 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Hasn't won for ages but nearly put that right when going down by a neck here on Saturday (2m5f, good); Leah Noreci rode then so he's without the 10lb claim this time; still respected with cheekpieces added.
Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days.
Zumbi owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (59) and market confidence (91). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
