Runners Spotlight

1
Bitsnbuckles
Favorite

Slightly disappointing when only fourth on his latest outing, but posted career-best form when winning readily by over 6l at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) two starts ago and has an obvious claims if back at that level.

Jockey: Tom Hutsby(10)Trainer: Olly Murphy
2
Mermaids Cave

7-23 over hurdles, including a good-ground C&D win; beaten favourite in plating company two starts and pulled up in a subsequent handicap, but has slipped to a very good mark and can't be ruled out.

Jockey: Mr Cian Murphy(7)Trainer: James Owen
3
Vicki Vale

Dual hurdle winner when trained by Dan Sketon, but absent since her fourth at Ludlow (2m5f, good) for this stable in October 2024 and entitled to benefit from this outing.

Jockey: Lewis Stones(3)Trainer: Deborah Cole
4
Shotgun Rider

Good-ground Irish point winner who was second behind useful rivals on first two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m2f); well beaten after racing too freely on last month's handicap debut but remains open to improvement if he settles better here.

Jockey: Toby McCain-Mitchell(5)Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies
5
Painted Wolf

0-5 over hurdles but left disappointing handicap debut behind when close second of four behind a progressive rival over C&D (good to soft) last month, and his Irish point form suggests he'll be fine on this faster ground.
