Fairlight Studios Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Go North Sea Pigeon Series Qualifier)

Won Bangor maiden (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) on latest hurdling start last May and could plausibly have some improvement to come in handicap hurdles but this winter's AW form was very disappointing and she needs to prove her wellbeing.

Unseated rider recently but the form of his fourth in a higher-grade race at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January reads well in this context, and he's only 2lb higher than when making all over C&D (good to firm) in October; not fully exposed, and can make bold bid in refitted cheekpieces.

Ex-Irish 6yo who started off for Iain Jardine with three good runs in the autumn, the most notable a win at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft; also suited by good); flopped badly on latest outing but has possibilities if back on song after subsequent wind op.

Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered.

Won C&D juvenile hurdle in 2023 and is well handicapped on some of last season's placed efforts but his Flat form in second half of last year was mixed and he fell when back over hurdles in January; others have less to prove.
