Alderbrook Handicap (For Professional Jump Jockeys) (GBBPlus Race)

Unraced since second twice over hurdles in the spring, in cheekpieces last time; needed his Flat run (33-1) at this juncture last term before winning over hurdles next time, so perhaps best watched again; yard runs four.

All four runs under Flat rules have been on AW, good second over 2m on handicap debut last time; that was in February and his only run since was a heavy defeat in valuable handicap hurdle in April; six jumps wins and probably more interesting when he's back in that sphere, but market may guide.

2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously.

Ran creditably over hurdles on this day last year after a layoff; not seen this time round since a fall in January and his only four Flat races (fair form first two occasions) were in 2023, but this is his first Flat run with headgear; his yard runs four, so the market should give some guidance.

Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four.
