Runners Spotlight

1
Stay Away Fay
Favorite

Won a Grade 1 novice hurdle and Grade 2 novice chase in 2023; his mark continues to tumble but for good reason and a major revival is required with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Kyntara

Highly progressive staying hurdler in 2023-24 campaign and chasing didn't work out for him last season; this 10yo has run pretty well in defeat over hurdles on both runs this term (3m, good to soft) and might not be far away.

Jockey: Charlie DeutschTrainer: Mel Rowley
4
Both Barrels

His form can be in and out but he's been progressive among the blips and was back on song when winning at Kelso (extended 2m6f, good to soft) 19 days ago; this trip may be within range and has a chance for in-form yard.

Jockey: Craig NicholTrainer: Donald Whillans
5
Pinot Rouge

Made mistakes when pulled up over fences at Newcastle last time and she could be suited by the return to hurdling; won in this sphere at Hexham (2m7f, good to soft) last June but her profile is patchy and her claims aren't overly compelling.
