Verdict
JOREBEL arrives on the up and may be able to land the 4-timer under a positive ride back down in trip. Handicap debutante Mistress Emma is feared, especially if the market indicates she's ready to roll on her return, while Fourtowns has been in excellent heart for new connections and should be in the mix again.

VerdictArrives on the up, winning back-to-back handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and improved to land the hat-trick upped in trip at Worcester (20f) last month, looking value for a bit extra. He's likely to be ridden positively back down in trip and should make a bold bid for the 4-timer. - 4. Mistress EmmaJ: P. HanlonT: Nicky HendersonF: 23-

VerdictWon a Worcester bumper on debut in June 2022 but off for 30 months before finishing second on hurdles debut at Newbury. Showed improvement despite doing plenty wrong (took strong hold) when third at Warwick (19f) and remains open to progress on handicap debut for top yard. - 2.

VerdictBack to his best with a smooth-travelling success at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) on second start for new yard and shaped as if still in good form when runner-up behind a handicap debutant at Stratford (18.7f). Going with plenty of zest in his races and should give a good account back over 2m.

VerdictWinner over C&D as a novice but yet to threaten in handicap hurdles. Arrives in good heart following a victory on the Flat at Goodwood (2m) last month but isn't one for maximum faith dropping back down in distance on hurdles return.

VerdictFair winner at 10f on Flat but remains a maiden over jumps, best effort when third in a 2m handicap at Hereford in January. Didn't show much spark on the Flat last month and could be vulnerable to improvers back over hurdles.

Verdict4-time winner over hurdles for James Owen this year but below form on Flat for the yard more recently. Back over hurdles on first start for new stable but may need a bit more respite from the handicapper.

VerdictWon a C&D handicap in March 2024 but arrives badly out of sorts, well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Fontwell in April. Plenty to prove from out of the handicap.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictBest effort over hurdles came when third over C&D on hurdle debut but yet to build on that, for all he shaped better than the result on handicap hurdle debut in May. Broke his maiden on the Flat last month but remains to be seen if he can translate recent Flat form to hurdles.
