This looks a good opportunity for ALL INN HAND, who travelled better in headgear last time and sets the standard in a very ordinary contest. Woodythewoodpecker ran better on his most recent outing at Ffos Las and could be open to improvement now stepping up in trip. He's a standout danger ahead of Blue In The West, who can claim minor honours on stable debut.

VerdictRunner up at Chepstow (23.6f) on penultimate start and travelled more kindly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third over the same C&D 23 days ago. This looks a good opportunity to get off the mark. - 3. WoodythewoodpeckerJ: Adam WedgeT: Evan WilliamsF: 45P94-

VerdictModest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 11 hurdle runs. Below form when 14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eamonn Francis Gallagher. Looks up against it.

VerdictSuccessful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Jan 2024) but has yet to beat a horse in 3 starts under Rules, reported to have made a respiratory noise on latest run following wind surgery. Plenty to prove with tongue tie now left off.
