Verdict

LITTLETOWN LAD wasn't as headstrong as he can be at Uttoxeter last time and a reproduction of that effort should be enough to score in a thin race. Yanka Blue is respected after back-to-back second-placed finishes, with Character Testing completing the 1-2-3.

    Verdict
    Fourth in a bumper for Daragh Bourke in April 2025. Settled better than usual and brought out an improved performance when a clear second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) 35 days ago. Has to be taken seriously after that.

    Verdict
    Yet to register a victory but she arrives on the back of a pair of second-placed finishes, most recently in an 8-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¼m, good) 40 days ago. Yard in patchy form but she's probably one of the likelier types in a very thin race.

    Remains a maiden after 18 hurdling runs, albeit in the frame on his last 3 outings in this sphere. Runner-up in a Beverley seller on the Flat on his penultimate outing but found nothing at Doncaster 2 weeks ago. Sports a visor for the first time over jumps here.

    Fair on Flat and was beaten a long way when making the frame in 2 juvenile hurdles last spring. No promise on either Flat outing this summer and he's opposable making handicap debut in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Fair form on the Flat in 2024 but didn't offer much in 3 maiden hurdles last autumn or switched to handicap company in May. Worth a betting check having been bought out of Dermot Kilmartin's yard for 6,000 gns.

    Verdict
    Fair sort at his best on Flat (won at Wolverhampton in December) and wasn't too far off reaching that level over hurdles back in 2023/24. Not seen over obstacles since and his last Flat outing was disappointing. Others make more appeal.

    Verdict
    Long-standing maiden over jumps but looked back in some sort of form from 4 lb out of the weights when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (19f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Back in a more realistic grade here.

    Verdict
    Modest Flat winner matched that form over hurdles when placed in a Southwell maiden last spring but hasn't yet replicated that form in this sphere (lightly raced). Plugged on into third in a Carlisle Flat handicap last month but below form when last seen at Ripon.
