In an open race FAT HARRY is taken to get off the mark over hurdles now back up in trip. Proper Twelve, a good third when back over hurdles last time, and Luminaries, who is bidding for a four-timer, are two others likely to run well.[Colin Russell]

Unexposed; has run a couple of fair races over hurdles, notably when third in a Uttoxeter maiden in December (2m, soft); however, beaten 47l on handicap debut over C&D last time (good; 33-1) and needs to improve markedly on that to take a hand.
Third in two Ludlow novice hurdles in February (2m, good to soft) before finishing a creditable third at Hereford on handicap debut on first run at this trip (good; form not worked out); tongue-tie now tried; each-way chance.
Won twice in France in December 2022: yet to add to that tally for present yard, although two creditable C&D runs in blinkers on last two starts (heavy, good; Yhprum's Law well behind him last time); each-way chance.
Improved form with cheekpieces, completing a hat-trick in 2m4f handicaps at Newcastle when beating Regal And Royal (runs in the first division) by 1.5l last time; up another 9lb (has gone up 21lb in total); could go well again.
Ex-Chris Gordon; two fair runs over fences on first two starts for this yard and sound third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces when reverting to hurdles last time; a possible.
Disappointing at Doncaster last time (2m3f, good to soft) but two fair runs in Carlisle handicaps over 2m1f and 2m3f prior to that; no surprise if he were to run well again.
Showed plenty of promise over hurdles in 2022 both in France and for this yard; ran a fine race on her first run since when runner-up in a handicap at Carlisle this month but pulled up when 33-1 in a maiden hurdle at Perth (also about 2m4f) on Wednesday.
Came back in good form after a three-month break with two sound runs last month, better effort when third at Catterick in a race that has worked out well (2m3f, good); didn't fare as well dropped back to 2m last time (didn't jump as well); definite contender back up in trip.
Won a novice handicap chase at Catterick in December 2023 (2m, soft); hasn't won since, although several good placed efforts; first run over hurdles since March 2023 and first run at this trip under rules (won a 3m Irish point); bit to prove.
