There might still be a bit more improvement to come from Highway One O Five who has already won twice this spring, but KING'S CONSORT beat a next-time-out handicap winner when causing a surprise in a Hereford maiden in March. She could be on a good mark for her handicap debut.[Chris Wilson]

0-10 over hurdles for Ben Pauling; second off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in November, but was sold for a £9,500 after disappointing effort the following month and has fitness to prove on stable debut.
Won maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and is well handicapped if judged on that performance, but didn't take to chasing at end of 2024 and this return to hurdling comes after a 163-day break.
Well beaten on first two hurdling starts (2m/2m3f) but improved to cause 50-1 shock in Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) in March; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this mare could quite plausibly have more improvement to come in handicaps.
Now 4lb lower than for last summer's 40-1 win at Worcester (2m4f, good), but hasn't come close to matching that performance in his subsequent hurdling starts.
Came good with two good-ground hurdle wins this spring (2m3f/2m); slightly disappointing when only third of six at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last week but may yet have a bit more to offer.
Won twice on good ground (2m2f/2m4f) for Keiran Burke in 2023 but looked out of sorts for this stable this year (seven runs); returns from 192-day absence and needs to turn a corner.
0-7 over hurdles but returned from break with fairly encouraging run in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m, good) this month and has possibilities off her lowly mark if that outing has brought her on.
