- Runaway Train
- S Bowen / James Owen
|
|
93
|
7/2 |
Runaway Train
0-7 over hurdles and absent since a poor performance in January but his second of 13 here (2m, good) in November was a good effort and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip.

- The Last Drop
- Finn Lambert / R T Phillips
|

|
7/1 |
The Last Drop
Not beaten far in any of her three qualifying races in spring 2024 or when fifth of eight (just behind Dante's Inferno) on recent handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good); no surprise if today's longer trip unlocks the necessary improvement.

- Mac's Xpress
- Benjamin Poste / C Ellam
|
|

|
28/1 |
Mac's Xpress
Did not show a great deal on his four appearances for Clare Ellam last season and is now 0-27 over hurdles; difficult to enthuse over.

- Grasshopper Time
- Harry Bannister / A M Hales
|
|
104
|
7/1 |
Grasshopper Time
Pulled up after sketchy round of jumping on chasing debut in February and now reverts to hurdling; given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere but his record is not compelling and he has raced mainly on ground slower than good.

|
- Dante's Inferno
- Luke Scott / Mrs Stella Barclay
|
|

|
16/1 |
Dante's Inferno
Looks worth another crack at today's trip but was just a respectable fourth on recent handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and needs improvement.

- Dartmouth Rose
- James Bowen / M Crawley

9/1 |
Dartmouth Rose
Looked suited by the step up in trip when keeping-on second of five on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago and features prominently in calculations.
|
|
|
|
- Far Away West
- Aaron Anderson / H Burns
|
|
94
|
20/1 |
Far Away West
0-18 over hurdles but seemingly back in decent form on last two appearances; in contention for second before last-flight fall at Kelso (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago and has possibilities if that experience has not dented her confidence.
|
|
|
|
- Matchadam
- Cameron Iles / T Lacey
|
|
91
|
15/8 |
Matchadam
Lightly raced 7yo who posted a pretty good effort when third here (3m, good) on handicap debut in October; not seen again since but should be okay back at 2m4f and is open to further improvement if fully tuned up.

- Jackie Diamond
- Ben Ffrench-Davis / D J S Ffrench Davis

|
40/1 |
Jackie Diamond
Lowly rated Flat maiden; still unexposed over hurdles but was beaten about 22l when fifth of nine on recent handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) and needs to take a good step forward here.
|

|
|
- Mystic Man
- Conor Ring / R Potter
|
|
91
|
9/1 |
Mystic Man
Won four chases for others stables in 2023, three of them over 2m4f on good ground here; out of form over hurdles and fences for Ryan Potter since the autumn but has dropped to a low mark and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
|
|
|
|
- Noble Recall
- Harriet Tucker / A Day
|
|
87
|
8/1 |
Noble Recall
Not beaten far in his first two handicaps (both over 2m4f on good ground this spring) and not as far out of the weights today but still makes only limited appeal.
