(7)  Ashjan |  | |  | | | 10 | Miss Heidi Palin | Sandy Forster | Lurks on a good mark and seemed to have turned a corner when third over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has been pulled up in two subsequent chases and now has it all to prove again. | ||
(8)  Maisie Too | | | | | | 6 | Mr John Dixon | Susan Corbett | Unexposed after only five hurdle runs and made some encouraging headway in the straight when sixth of 12 at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month; needs to improve here but has possibilities if the new trip suits. | ||
1st (10)  Classic Lady | | | | | | 8 | Mr Paddy Barlow | Mark Walford | Won a point in 2020 but, following a long absence, hasn't shown a great deal under rules this year; shaped with some promise on recent chasing debut, having been badly hampered by a faller, but is effectively 8lb higher for today's hurdling return and needs help from the first-time cheekpieces. | ||
(4)  Dillarchie | | | | | | 6 | Miss Fern O'Brien | Joanne Foster | Dug deep to open account at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in April, her eight start over hurdles; also suited by this C&D but needs to bounce back from a poor performance here last month. | ||
(5)  Sunshine Girl | | | | | | 6 | Mr S Connor | S R B Crawford | Showed only minor promise in her three qualifying runs (2m-2m4f) but moves up in trip today and should have some improvement to come in handicaps; market may guide. | ||
(3)  Reserve Judgement | | | | | | 7 | Mr Kit Alexander | John C McConnell | 0-7 over hurdles but ran well for long way when sixth of 16 in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (2m4f, yielding) in February and his stable has a very good strike-rate in Britain; due to move up to 2m7f at Down Royal last night; will need to be taken very seriously if he turns up here. | ||
(1)  No Rematch | | | | | | 9 | Miss Imogen Mathias | Henry Oliver | Regressed last season but still managed to win a claiming hurdle; kept on for respectable third on stable debut at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and today's longer trip will suit; could have a say. | ||
3rd (9)  Buto | | | | | | 6 | Miss Alice Stevens | Micky Hammond | Eventually came good over hurdles at 19th attempt, with clearcut C&D (good) success 11 days ago; evidently in good nick, and a recent 5lb rise does not look excessive. | ||
4th (6)  Pipers Cross | | | | | | 6 | Miss J Walton | Sandy Forster | Placed twice (once over C&D) on heavy ground in March and didn't run badly when midfield here (good to soft) last month; should be okay on today's ground; probably won't be far away. | ||
2nd (2)  Jimmy Rabbitte | | | | | | 10 | Mr Freddie Gordon | Stuart Coltherd | Yet to win for current stable and not yet proven over this far but went close over hurdles at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month and was placed in a chase here (2m4f, good) a fortnight later; respected. |
Reserve Judgement was seemingly aided by blinkers when running well at Punchestown in February and will be feared if he runs here instead of at Down Royal last night but the suggestion is BUTO, who took a long time to open his account but did so quite readily over C&D 11 days ago and could quite plausibly build on that success. Jimmy Rabbitte has posted a couple of good recent efforts and can also feature.[Chris Wilson]

2nd (3)  Matthew Man | | | | | | 12 | Conor O'Farrell | James Walton | Seen only once under rules since 2021, when pulled up in C&D hunter chase last month; seemed to run well when second in a restricted point here a week later but looks up against it from 27lb out of the handicap today. | ||
3rd (1)  Bodhisattva | | | | | | 6 | Patrick Wadge | John C McConnell | Bounced back quickly from disappointing chasing debut to win three-runner Perth handicap for Gordon Elliott last month (3m, good); subsequently changed hands for £26,000; makes stable debut in another thin race. | ||
1st (2)  Universal Folly | | | | | | 8 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Three-time hurdle winner who may not have needed to improve upon previous chasing form to win match race at Uttoxeter (3m, good) on Sunday; does not look well treated under a 7lb penalty here but still has a very obvious chance. |
John McConnell's new recruit BODHISATTVA opened his chasing account in an uncompetitive race at Perth last month but he probably still has untapped potential over fences, and his main rival Universal Folly has to shoulder a 7lb penalty for beating just one rival at Uttoxeter on Sunday.[Chris Wilson]

4th (2)  Applaus | | | | | | 11 | Joshua Thompson | Micky Hammond | Five-time hurdle winner; holds no secrets from the handicapper but was ahead of Captain Zebo when keeping-on second here (2m4f, good) 11 days ago and today's drop back in trip won't be a problem. | ||
1st (1)  Captain Zebo | | | | | | 11 | Mr John Dixon | John Dixon | Without a win since 2020 and patently not the force of old but was seemingly aided by cheekpieces when posted two pretty good efforts here last month (2m/2m4f); can make his presence felt again. | ||
(5)  We Still Believe | | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Daragh Bourke | Not seen over hurdles since making the frame in three juvenile races for Ben Haslam in autumn 2021 but has been running well on the Flat (albeit off lowly marks) for new stable in recent months; interesting. | ||
2nd (3)  Les's Legacy | | | | | | 6 | Dillan Hurst | Susan Corbett | Dual C&D winner last season (good to soft/soft) and took form to new level when landing valuable series final at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in March; just ahead of Applaus when close second here (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago but went up another 2lb for that and may not be seen to quite the same effect back at 2m on good ground. | ||
3rd (4)  Miss Lamb | | | | | | 7 | Conor O'Farrell | Jedd O'Keeffe | Won C&D maiden on heavy ground in March and runner-up over C&D on both subsequent appearances (heavy/good to soft); today's faster ground may not be ideal but her handicap mark is workable and, if her useful bumper form is a guide, she may yet do better over hurdles. |
C&D winner MISS LAMB found one too good when odds on for a C&D novice last month but she certainly didn't run badly, and her close second here two starts ago proved she can be very competitive off this mark. Confidence in her would be slightly higher on slower ground but she is still the most appealing option. The top three on the racecard all ran well over 2m4f here when last in action and, of that group, Applaus may be the one best suited by today's drop back in trip. We Still Believe is tricky to weigh up on his handicap hurdle debut but has been running well on the Flat lately.[Chris Wilson]

2nd (5)  Max Of Stars | | | | | | 3 | Sean Quinlan | Ollie Pears | Unplaced all four Flat starts; not beaten far when fourth of six on handicap debut in April (1m4f, AW; RPR 57) but others have stronger claims. | ||
(3)  Indication Rocket | | | | | | 3 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when making all to open account on the Flat last month (1m, AW; RPR 64); should be okay stamina-wise over hurdles; contender if he takes to this game. | ||
4th (4)  Uncle Matthew | | | | | | 3 | Conor Ring | Evan Williams | Didn't live up to his very good Flat pedigree when with Godolphin but managed to win AW handicap in March (1m3f; RPR 69); changed hands for £16,000 soon afterwards and has travelled from South Wales to make hurdling debut for stable with 6-20 strike-rate here. | ||
1st (2)  Hourless | | | | | | 3 | Tom Cannon | Alan King | Improved to make winning Flat handicap debut off lowly mark in April (9.4f, AW); safely held on turf since but trainer Alan King is a dab hand with juvenile hurdlers and has a good strike-rate (5-13) with his occasional runners here. | ||
3rd (1)  City Of Ruins | | | | | | 3 | Danny McMenamin | Donald McCain | Third foal; brother to fair hurdler Tuddenham Green; dam 2m AW winner (RPR 58), half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Horseplay and Flat/useful hurdle winner Devilment; in good hands but his five rivals all have experience from the Flat; market may guide. | ||
(6)  Waitara | | | | | | 3 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | 2-6 on the Flat in France, the latter win gained in 1m2f claimer in March; new stable has won the last two editions of this race; likely contender. |
David Pipe is bidding for a hat-trick of wins in this cheekily named juvenile hurdle and his dual French Flat winner WAITARA looks a very likely candidate. Uncle Matthew and Hourless (preferred in that order) also represent stables with good strike-rates at this track, and have also both won on the Flat.[Chris Wilson]

4th (2)  Grange Ranger | | | | | | 11 | Conor O'Farrell | Micky Hammond | Began last season with win off 4lb higher at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but hasn't been in the same form again since, and was about 19l behind Lights Are Green and No Regrets when fifth over C&D last month. | ||
2nd (3)  Spark Of Madness | | | | | | 7 | Stephen Mulqueen | Lucinda Russell | Collected two small-field chase wins last season, the latter off today's mark at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in November; comes here after respectable fourth at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; a possible if suited by today's step up in trip. | ||
(5)  The Electrician | | | | | | 7 | Ryan Mania | R Mike Smith | Won over 2m4f here just over a year ago and just held on to add to his tally at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft) in April; placed off today's mark here (2m4f) last month and should be fine over today's trip; probably won't be far away. | ||
(6)  Ballynagran | | | | | | 8 | Henry Brooke | Joanne Foster | Returned to form with front-running win over C&D (good to soft) last month and is now 2-7 over fences; his overall profile remains somewhat unconvincing, though, and today's faster ground may not be ideal. | ||
1st (1)  No Regrets | | | | | | 9 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Capitalised upon some significant help from the handicapper when winning narrowly in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (3m, soft) in March and probably bettered that performance when close second to Lights Are Green over C&D (good to soft) last month; fine on good ground too and still very well treated on older form. | ||
3rd (4)  Lights Are Green | | | | | | 6 | Jonathon Bewley | George Bewley | Gamely fended off sustained challenged from No Regrets to win over C&D (good to soft) last month and followed up with comfortable success at Cartmel (3m1f, good) a week ago; another 8lb higher here but still has low mileage and ought to make a bold bid from the front. |
Lightly raced 6yo Lights Are Green has thrived in recent weeks and is not opposed lightly as he bids to complete a hat-trick, but he had to fight hard to fend off NO REGRETS over C&D last month and Nicky Richards' runner is now 9lb better off.[Chris Wilson]

1st (3)  Mac Suibhne | | | | | | 8 | Conor O'Farrell | Micky Hammond | Won a match race on chasing debut in October but two underwhelming runs followed in November and he was pulled up in April, after a break; comes here with a point to prove but the return to good ground is a big plus. | ||
4th (1)  Thatsy | | | | | | 9 | Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | Useful in his prime but has regressed and become very inconsistent; dropped out of contention very tamely in straight at Perth last month and needs a boost from today's headgear switch. | ||
(8)  Dr Shirocco | | | | | | 8 | Henry Brooke | Sandy Forster | Stayed on well for third over hurdles at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month and has some comparable form over fences but his strike-rate under rules is 0-25 and others appeal more for win purposes. | ||
2nd (6)  Budarri | | | | | | 10 | Danny McMenamin | Stuart Coltherd | Four-time chase winner; gave pretty good account when fourth over C&D (good to soft) last month and his subsequent Newcastle fifth was perfectly respectable; suited by good ground; each-way claims at least. | ||
| (2) Our Marty | | | | | | 5 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Pulled up on chasing debut in March but fared better when staying on from the rear for fourth at Perth (2m, good) last month, having been outpaced, and today's longer trip might enable further progress. | ||
3rd (4)  Azof Des Mottes | | | | | | 6 | Jonathon Bewley | George Bewley | 0-8 over hurdles but has taken well to chasing in recent months; given good tactical ride by Jonathon Bewley to beat 13 rivals at Kelso (2m5f, good) in April and will be dangerous if all goes to plan here. | ||
(5)  Derracrin | | | | | | 6 | Jack Tudor | Barry Murtagh | 0-12 over hurdles but came from quite a long way off the pace to win readily over C&D (good) on recent chasing debut; doesn't look harshly treated by a 4lb rise and could easily have more to offer over fences. |
Last-time-out winners Derracrin and Azof Des Mottes (preferred in that order) have scope for further progress and are afforded respect but Lucinda Russell's 5yo OUR MARTY (nap) shaped very much as though in need of a stiffer stamina test when fourth over 2m at Perth last month and he gets that here.[Chris Wilson]

(15)  Miss Blennerhasset | | | | | | 4 | Aaron Anderson | Mike Sowersby | Fair stayer on the Flat for Ralph Beckett last year (albeit a maiden) but safely held when 80-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) and clearly needs to do better here. | ||
(8)  Ebendi | | | | | | 6 | Conor O'Farrell | Andrew Wilson | Showed some useful form on the Flat in Ireland but is 0-5 over hurdles for new stable this year; well beaten in 2m1f Newcastle handicap on latest outing in March; others have considerably less to prove. | ||
(11)  Mactavish | | | | | | 6 | Tom Midgley | David Thompson | Stayed on for second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in the autumn and is unexposed over this sort of trip but suffered heavy defeat last month, after a layoff, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. | ||
4th (13)  Sight Nor Seen | | | | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | Mike Sowersby | Very well handicapped on some of last year's Irish form but has been very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here. | ||
(6)  Shantou's Temple | | | | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Pauline Robson | Beaten about 25l when sixth of 12 on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller there and remains unexposed. | ||
(9)  Sea Prince | | | | | | 6 | Ryan Mania | R Mike Smith | Just a respectable fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f, good) last month and now 0-5 over hurdles; recent 1lb drop not enough to tempt. | ||
(12)  Comeonrita | | | | | | 5 | Thomas Dowson | Jonathan Haynes | Belied 200-1 odds when keeping on for modest third in 2m novice here last month and wasn't beaten far when eighth over that trip on subsequent handicap debut but others appeal more all the same; tries a new trip today. | ||
| 5th (4) Royal Mer | | | | | | 5 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Left disappointing British debut a long way behind when second at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in March but two lesser efforts have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. | ||
(5)  Turkey And Ham | | | | | | 5 | Jack Hogan | Noel C Kelly | Unable to land a telling blow in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m4f) this year but makes her handicap debut in a low-grade event and might get more competitive this time. | ||
(16)  Blame Rose | | | | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Susan Corbett | Displayed first glimmer of promise when fifth here (2m, good to soft) last month and has a lowly mark for today's handicap debut but almost certainly needs to improve again; tongue-tie fitted. | ||
2nd (7)  Chancer Dancer | | | | | | 6 | Mr O McGill | Noel C Kelly | Well beaten in first two handicaps but kept on well on well for fourth of 18 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding; first-time tongue-tie) last month and has plenty of scope for further progress now back up in trip. | ||
(2)  Methusalar | | | | | | 7 | Tom Cannon | Alan King | In good form last spring, most notably when winning off mark 1lb higher than today's at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft); made low-key reappearance last month but has possibilities here if that run has brought him on. | ||
| (3) Female Approach | | | | | | 5 | William Maggs | Daragh Bourke | 0-12 over hurdles in Ireland but signed off there with two very respectable runs in big-field handicaps this spring (3m/3m1f); cheekpieces removed for today's stable debut; should cope with the drop back in trip. | ||
3rd (14)  Bushmill Boy | | | | | | 9 | Charlie Todd | David Thompson | 0-11 over hurdles but ran quite well when fifth from out of the weights in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last month and is effectively 9lb lower here; can't be ruled out. | ||
(10)  Just Call Me Al | | | | | | 10 | Sean Quinlan | Gillian Boanas | Not beaten far when sixth off much-reduced mark at Southwell (3m, good) in April but fell when last in action and some of his younger rivals have more appealing profiles. | ||
1st (1)  Lord Caprio | | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Dual course winner over 2m and shaped as though well worth a crack at today's trip when keeping-on fourth here 11 days ago; no surprise if he features. |
Noel Kelly's unexposed mare CHANCER DANCER took a big step in the right direction when fourth in a big-field Down Royal handicap last month and gets the vote in the hope she has more to offer over today's longer trip. Methusalar probably needed last month's Market Rasen run and will be dangerous if able to recapture last spring's form, while Bushmill Boy wasn't beaten far from out of the weights last time and competes off his correct mark today.[Chris Wilson]
