Runners Spotlight

1
Saracen Beau
Favorite

Won an Ayr novice in November 2024 (2m, good to soft); subsequently finished runner-up in a 2m4f handicap chase; fair third back over hurdles at Newcastle last time (2m1f, good to soft) and could go well back up to 2m4f.

Jockey: Danny McMenaminTrainer: Nicky Richards
2
Meatloaf

Won twice in his novice season (2m/2m3f, good to soft/good); yet to win a handicap but fair third at Wincanton last time (2m4f, soft); suited by drier ground.

Jockey: Freddie Keighley(5)Trainer: Paul Nicholls
3
Joltin N Jiving

Irish point winner (3m, good to yielding) in May 2024; won a Carlisle novice in February last year (2m1f, good to soft) and should come on for his latest fifth in a Catterick handicap (2m3f, soft) when returning after a wind op; tongue-tie now tried.

Jockey: Brian HughesTrainer: Donald McCain
4
Bitsnbuckles

Won for the second time over hurdles at Southwell last month (2m4f, good to soft); has a 7lb higher mark; each-way contender.

Jockey: Lewis Stones(3)Trainer: Olly Murphy
5
Yealand

Three chase wins for Jennie Candlish last season (one a walkover); perhaps best watched back over hurdles on stable debut after a 335-day break.

Jockey: Benjamin Macey(5)Trainer: Gary Hanmer
