Off the mark over hurdles in first-time blinkers in handicap at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, soft), scoring by 7l having dictated the gallop; 8lb higher; headgear retained; worth considering.

Runner-up in an Irish point; makes handicap debut after three runs over hurdles, best run last time when 13l fourth of nine in a novice at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; 150-1); should improve for step up to 2m4f; bit to find.

Tommy Johnson
Off for more than a year after finishing fifth of nine in a C&D handicap in January 2024 (soft); has been disappointing on both starts since; tongue-tie tried; plenty to prove.

Unexposed 6yo who has had two wind operations, latest in August 2024; fair form in three runs over hurdles since, including over 2m4f (beaten 30l in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh); not highly tried on handicap debut; a possible.

Luminaries
Stable in fine form and this one was off the mark in first-time cheekpieces when winning C&D novice handicap last time (good); up 3lb; headgear retained; should give another good account.
