Hold Your Fort
Made very rapid progress over fences in early part of last season, winning four in a row at Newton Abbot (all 3m2f, good); absent since ending 2024 with two heavy defeats on slow ground but conditions will be more suitable for him here and he competes off a lower mark over hurdles.

Champetre
0-8 over hurdles but was very consistent at around 3m on good/good to soft ground in early part of last season; can play a significant role here if fully tuned up after 224-day break.

Tropical Speed
Ex-Irish 6yo; well beaten on first two starts for Olly Murphy but was driven clear to score by 7l when back on good ground at Stratford (2m6f; well backed) in March, and might improve again for his new stable.

Jack's Jury
Made good late headway to snatch fourth on rules debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in February but two heavy defeats over that trip have followed; upped to 3m for this handicap debut; needs to turn things around.

Pooley's Promise
Soundly beaten on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and was pulled up after early jumping error over same C&D last month; moves back up in trip today; improvement required.

Victor Haze
Lightly raced 8yo who was placed in two good-ground Chepstow handicaps (2m/2m3f) towards end of last season and can probably be excused his subsequent lesser effort on soft ground; 3lb out of the weights today but pedigree offers hope she might improve over the new trip.
