125 Expert View: Below form up in class, finishing down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts with cut; must bounce back.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good - yielding and yielding - soft ground. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Kalix Delabarriere when 15th of 18 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse over 2m (yielding - soft) in April. Having his first run for a new stable today.
132 Expert View: Won this in 2023, 2024 and 2025; didn't stay 2m6f when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; usually held up; effective 2m, loves Cartmel; good chance of a four-timer in the race off 2lb lower than 12 months ago.
Form Snapshot: Winner of five hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on ground varying from good to good - yielding. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Billy Lee Swagger when eighth of 16 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Ballinrobe over 2m 6f (good) last month.
128 Expert View: Ran to form up in trip beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Listowel last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m4f; surely more to come in handicaps judged on bumper form.
Form Snapshot: He has won a hurdle race, a NH flat race and a point-to-point from 2m 2f to 3m on soft and yielding ground. Finished 9l behind Rockonliam when sixth of 13 at 3-1fav on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Listowel over 2m 4f (yielding) last month.
126 Expert View: Bit below best back on Flat sixth beaten 16l at Kempton last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface; has won last two hurdles runs, very much considered.
Form Snapshot: He has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race when 11-8fav at Hexham over 2m (good) last month, beating Double Digits by 2 3/4l.
131 Expert View: Made too much use of when fourth beaten 29l off 124 last time, 2lb lower here; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; bounce back needed but player at best.
Form Snapshot: Winner of six hurdle races from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Perseus Way when fourth of 8 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Hexham over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.
135 Expert View: Ran to best, good attitude landing a handicap by a short-head off a 44lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; enjoys making it; effective around 2m on soft and good; fair chance back hurdling.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good and soft ground (latest flat win was earlier this month). Well beaten at 8-1 behind Lanesborough when fifth of 9 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Doncaster over 2m 1f (good to soft) in December last year.
130 Expert View: Lacked pace back on Flat when fifth beaten 3l off 73 last time, 44lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; one to consider.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 4f on good ground. A winner at 11-1 in a hurdle race at Hexham over 2m 4f (good) on his latest NH outing last month, beating Well Educated by 4 1/2l.
133 Expert View: Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 32lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; effective around 10f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on any; generally consistent under both codes.
Form Snapshot: A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on good ground. Beaten 2l by Wondering Why when second of 8 at 4-1 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Warwick over 2m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with A King.
130 Expert View: Returned to form down in class proving stamina beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on good to soft and good; can have a say.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Third of 9 behind Dickens beaten 2 1/2l at 14-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 6f (good) last month.
131 Expert View: Went clear, made bit too much use of beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Hexham last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface; remains above last win mark but has hinted at better recently.
Form Snapshot: She has won three hurdle races from 2m to 2m 1f on good and good to soft ground. Third of 5 behind High Dancer beaten 3 1/2l at 15-2 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Hexham over 2m (good) earlier this month.
137 Expert View: Improved again, scored with plenty in hand landing a handicap by 7l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; suited by around 2m, acts on good to soft and good; progressing, fair chance of hat-trick.
Form Snapshot: Successful in two hurdle races at 2m and 2m 1f on good ground. A winner at 3-1 in a hurdle race over this course and distance (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Zamond by 7l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success. Has also won at Plumpton this season.
AMANCIO was too keen to do himself justice when fifth on his handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster back in December. However, the five-year-old clearly benefited from a break, with a third on the level at Newbury followed by a win at Carlisle earlier in the month, and he definitely has more to offer back in this discipline. Filibustering arrives seeking a hat-trick over timber and commands respect, along with Nap Hand.
Goodwin Face is on for a hat-trick and this improvig sort should again go well under a penalty but FIVEONEFIVE has won this race for each of the past three seasons and finds himself down to a mark 2lb lower than 12 months ago. He's clearly been trained for the race once more and earns the vote. Filibustering, bidding for a third-straight hurdles success, Amancio, a Flat winner last time, and Nap Hand, off a good run and for the same connections at Goodwin Face, are others to consider.
