Greenhead Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Div I)

0-8 over hurdles but he went very close in a Catterick handicap (2m3f) in December; disappointing at Newcastle (2m4f) last time but he looks worth another try at this trip and has claims if he can get back in the groove after a break; visor worn in last two runs is removed.

His last win was in December 2022 but he's turned things around after wind surgery with two placed efforts here (2m4f, good to soft/good) this spring; this step back up in trip is no problem and he should go well again.

Four-time point winner but he's 0-6 over hurdles and has been beaten 31l or more in his last two runs (3m/2m4f); now returns to a handicap but he needs a major revival back up in trip; hood reapplied.

Dual C&D winner who has finished runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) and Wetherby (3m, good) in his last two runs; up another 3lb but he was only narrowly denied last time and remains well treated on his old form; key player.

Point winner, who is 0-7 over hurdles but she finished a clear second in a Newcastle handicap (3m, good) in March; nudged up 3lb but that latest form has been boosted by the winner since and she's still unexposed at staying trips; respected.
