A MERE BAGATELLE has run 2 sound races on the Flat since joining James Owen and is taken to make a successful return to hurdling. Oslo ought to find this easier than the Summer Handicap at Market Rasen and is second choice ahead of Alright Dai, who could resume his progression after a break.

    Verdict
    Fair hurdle winner in Ireland for Shark Hanlon. Twice third on the Flat since joining the prolific James Owen stable and likely to have a big say back hurdling in a new visor (blinkered last 11 starts over jumps).

    Verdict
    Three-time hurdle scorer. Creditable effort in the ultra-competitive Summer Handicap at Market Rasen on latest hurdle start. Has performed no more than respectably on the Flat since but still respected in a lower grade back jumping.

    Winner over this trip at Uttoxeter last summer and back to best at that same venue when third of 14 last month. This former course scorer has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie.

    Verdict
    Dual hurdle winner in the spring but the handicapper has looked in charge more recently, albeit he was better than the result when a remote fifth over 20.5f at Market Rasen in June, tying up having only been 4 lengths down at the last. Given a bit of time since.

    Verdict
    Has taken well to hurdling, finding some improvement to resume winning ways on handicap debut at Bangor (17f, good) last month. Possibly unsuited by soft ground when a well-held fourth at Market Rasen 15 days later. Up in trip.

    Verdict
    Fair handicap hurdler/chaser who recorded a first success over fences at Hereford (19f, soft) in February. Below par at Fontwell the following month. Reverts to hurdles back from 5 months off.

    Verdict
    Very useful 3-time bumper winner in 2022/23 season. Struck at the second time of asking over hurdles back from a long absence when shading a close finish over 2m here last month. Bumper ability provides hope for better now quickly switching to handicaps.

    Won back to back around 2½m at Southwell and Bangor in June. Another good run when second back at Bangor in July and stamina possibly stretched when fifth over 23f at Uttoxeter since (almost certainly still in form).

    Left the O'Neill stable after finishing a well-held fourth at Fontwell in March. Recent record is a bit patchy but he sets out for his new yard off the mark he defied at Fontwell at the beginning of 2024.

    Won a pair of handicaps over 20.5f at the turn of the year. Disappointing on his hat-trick bid at Fontwell in April but could well get back on the up following a break.
