Coniston George
Not particularly consistent but has a chance on his best form; successful at Carlisle in March (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing a visor for the first time, but well beaten off this 7lb higher mark with same headgear when favourite at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good).

Pinot Rouge
Won a Listed mares' hurdle at Doncaster in March 2024 (3m, soft) and fine effort when fourth in a Grade 1 at Aintree the following month (3m, soft); a bit disappointing since and has been pulled up in two of her last three starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces; stable going well; revival needed.

Cartmel winner off 8lb lower last May (2m6f, soft); in fair form recently, last time finishing 3l fourth of six at Kelso (2m5f, good) when cheekpieces were back on; same headgear here and he's a possible.

His only hurdles win was over 2m in heavy ground at Chepstow in October 2023 when with Milton Harris; showed he stays this sort of trip when a creditable third at Wetherby in March (2m3f, soft) but was disappointing with cheekpieces (retained today) at Ayr last time.

Broughshane
Went up 19lb for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last year; beaten at odds-on next time but subsequently fair third on chase debut; back over hurdles after pulling up last time; others look better handicapped.

Quick Sharpener
Won two 2m novice hurdles at Wetherby in 2023; mixed form chasing since, getting off the mark in a five-runner race at Bangor last time (2m4f, good); a possible back hurdling but this a stronger race.

Won a 2m4f novice hurdle at Carlisle (soft) in October 2023 when with Jonjo O'Neill; 3l behind Pinot Rouge in a Listed mares' novice the following month (3m, good) but now 9lb better off; pulled up at Ayr last time; had a wind op since; interesting.

Completed a hat-trick of hurdle wins last April/May (2m/2m4f, soft/good to soft); disappointing since, including pulled up in two chases; bit to prove.

Singapore Trip
Won a 2m4f handicap off 6lb higher at Perth last May (good to soft); hasn't run to the same level of form since but well handicapped now and cheekpieces (tried twice in France in 2023) are back on; not out of it.

Blakey Boy
Stable in fine form; off the mark over C&D when scoring at 33-1 in first-time cheekpieces last time (good); headgear retained and he's in the mix despite 5lb higher mark.

Two wins over 2m at Uttoxeter last season, the second off 6lb higher than this in July (good); rather disappointing since and beaten 18l when sixth over that same C&D last week, but he has won over 2m2f and is worth a second look back over 2m4f off very good mark.
