Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 100

11/1

Third in maiden/novice hurdles for Charlie Longsdon last spring. Left that yard since fading into a well-held sixth at Huntingdon in May. Makes handicap debut for a new stable.

Form: 6/0033-6

Strackan³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR: 99

6/4

Modest maiden. Best run in handicaps when second of 9 on 2½m Worcester reappearance, although he was beaten 24 lengths.

Form: 4/43P9-2

Diamond Geezer³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 94

85/40

Fair form when runner-up sole outing in bumpers. Well beaten in 3 maiden/novice hurdles over 2m last month but appeals as a likely improver now handicapping up in trip. Market confidence could prove significant.

Form: 2-056

Grasshopper Time²¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 92

15/2

Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler who ran best race for this yard when third of 6 at Plumpton in February. Below that level final 2 starts and might be best watched back from 7 months off.

5/1
