11/8
Course winner who landed the second Grade 2 success of his career in Kingwell at Wincanton in February. Found Grade 1s at Cheltenham and Aintree too much in the spring but encouraging return after 8 months off when second (behind dominant winner) at Sandown two weeks ago. Major player here.

11/8
Still raw when 2-2 in novice hurdles (one at this track). Shaped better than beaten distance (14.5l) when fourth of 7 at Uttoxeter (23.3f) on handicap debut 27 days ago. Appeared to need the run that day, but connections quick to go back down in trip. Much better expected on this occasion.

4/1
Fairly useful form over hurdles/fences in France in 2023. Off over a year prior to laboured effort at Bangor on British debut, but back on track on second start when fourth at Doncaster (16.5f) a week ago. Back up in trip today and trainer usually does well with this type, particularly over fences.

33/1
Fairly useful on Flat and readily got off the mark over hurdles at Catterick (2m, soft) in February. Has ran well at this track (second under a penalty last April) but refused at Sandown on latest hurdle start, missed break and awkward head carriage on Flat last time. Talented but temperamental.

Forecasts

Nemean Lion (11/8), Below The Radar (11/8), Lemoncello (4/1), Jilaijone (4/1), Stoner's Choice (4/1), Maasai Mara (33/1)

Verdict

This is a good opportunity for NEMEAN LION to regain the winning thread on his way to bigger targets later in the season. Below The Radar showed plenty of ability in novice hurdles and shaped with more promise than the bare result on comeback, so he is considered the main danger in receipt of two stone from Nemean Lion.
