Comment: 0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible.

Comment: Won twice over hurdles in 2022; never showed when last of eight finishers on first outing in 606 days at Perth (2m, good) last month; usual cheekpieces left off here; hard to fancy.

Comment: Went very close on his stable debut at Warwick (2m) before disappointing at odds-on when only third at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in May; back on track upped further in trip when beaten under 2l at Uttoxter (2m4f, also good) 18 days ago; contender.

Comment: Respectable third over hurdles on his last start for Paul Webber; all five runs for this yard have been over fences, finishing runner-up four times including at Fontwell (about 2m3f, good) in this headgear combination last time; switching disciplines but he's respected again.

15/2

Comment: 0-9 over hurdles; back from a break when beaten nearly 20l at Taunton (good to firm) in April then attracted support before flopping at Stratford (also about 2m, good) at the end of May; worrying that her previous best had come at that track and stamina needs to be proved back at 2m4f.
