Verdict

GILBERTINA has finished first and second in the last 2 renewals of this race and will likely be involved again this year. Inishnabro is interesting up in trip now quickly switched to handicaps, with Diamond Dice another player if none for the worse after a recent fall.

Verdict
Successful off this mark over fences in 2022 and solid reappearance display following 17 months off when a close second in a Leicester handicap hurdle (15.5f, good to soft). Reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.

Verdict
Runs well here and has finished first and second in the past two renewals of this race. Runner up to the in-form Bread And Butter here last month suggests she is primed to go close again today.

Verdict
Largely creditable efforts since joining this yard, deservedly opened his account for the stable when seeing off 4 rivals back from a break here (16.6f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Nudged up just 3 lb and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the finish.

Verdict
Half-brother to a couple of winning hurdlers and won by a wide margin on the second of his 2 runs between the flags. Has shaped fairly well both starts over hurdles, namely maidens here and at Southwell (both at around 2m), and he could do better now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Verdict
Ludlow maiden winner in February and was still in contention when falling 2 out in a Huntingdon handicap (20.7f, heavy) won by Bread And Butter earlier this month. He should make his presence felt granted a clear round.

Verdict
Scored at Hexham in June and posted his best effort since when third in an 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (2m, heavy) where he finished strongly. This step back up in trip will be in his favour and he's one to consider off the same mark.

Verdict
Yet to add to Musselburgh maiden hurdle success back in March 2023 but he has posted some decent efforts in defeat since, not least when runner-up here during the summer. Below par the last twice (latterly over fences) but his mark is on the slide. Cheekpieces back on.

Verdict
Fairly useful bumper performer who doubled his tally over hurdles at Fontwell (17.7f, good) in May. Well beaten on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts switched to fences and suffered another heavy defeat back hurdling at Lingfield recently. Opposable.
