• Overround: 108%

Stable confidence is the key factor; bumper winner with a trainer bulletin talking him up as a prospect. SecEff-J is unproven over hurdles but bumper form on soft ground signals suitability for the conditions. Jumping debut requires caution, but overall profile makes him the clear value call.

• J: Gavin Sheehan
• T: Jamie Snowden
• Trip: 2m 3f 110y
• Trainer RTF%: 68%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 108%

Showed promise on soft ground in Irish points and should appreciate this longer trip around a testing hurdles track. Has valuable experience in a small-field maiden and is likely to be prominent in a race without a strong pace. Makes fewer mistakes than some rivals and rates a solid place player.

• J: Tom Bellamy
• T: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
• Trip: 2m 3f 110y
• Trainer RTF%: 46%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 108%

Form ties in with Cinquenta and he is proven at the trip with soft-ground experience. A consistent type who often finds one or two too strong, but should be pressing the leaders throughout. Reliable jumper and a fair value runner for exotics.

• J: Harry Skelton
• T: Dan Skelton
• Trip: 2m 4f
• Trainer RTF%: 62%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 107%

Pedigree points to significant improvement for fences and current handicap mark looks lenient. SecEff-J over hurdles was only moderate, but the switch to fences and better ground could unlock major progress. First-time over fences is a risk, yet trainer intent and NP>IP edge make him a strong value anchor.

• J: Tom Broughton
• T: Fergal O’Brien
• Trip: 2m 4f
• Trainer RTF%: 47%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 107%

Lightly raced chaser who gets weight and already has chase experience. Has shown ability on good ground and should be suited by a tactical, small-field setup. The favourite on profile but offers little in the way of value at current prices.

• J: Freddie Gingell
• T: Joe Tizzard
• Trip: 2m 4f
• Trainer RTF%: 71%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 107%

Consistent in defeat over hurdles and a mark of 91 looks fair starting out over fences. Has run well on good ground and should be suited by the track. Unproven in this discipline, but the yard’s record with novice chasers makes him a credible danger.

• J: Harry Skelton
• T: Dan Skelton
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: 62%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 109%

Bumper form is strong and she is bred to handle softish ground, making her the one to beat on profile. SecEff-J from bumpers is solid and she should be suited by a likely strong pace in this larger field. Hurdles debut is a positive angle for the yard but the model flags negative value at current odds.

• J: Gavin Sheehan
• T: Jamie Snowden
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: 68%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 109%

Winning Irish point-to-pointer who has already scored over hurdles and is proven in stamina tests. Holds a notable experience edge over several key rivals and will relish underfoot conditions. Reliable jumper and a solid each-way option, though priced about right on current markets.

• J: Sean Bowen
• T: Olly Murphy
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: 52%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 109%

Showed promise in a decent bumper and now joins a yard in strong form. Soft-ground suitability is an unknown but pedigree suggests it should be within range. Another with a hurdles debut here, backed up by a top-20 jockey booking, and he looks a fair alternative to the front pair.

• J: Harry Cobden
• T: Emma Lavelle
• Trip: 2m 6f 10y
• Trainer RTF%: 42%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 113%

Winning Irish pointer making both chase and handicap debut from what looks a workable mark of 108. Unproven on this track but has form on soft ground and the move up in trip looks a major plus. First-time over fences is a clear unknown yet the upside is significant in a race lacking depth.

• J: Ben Jones
• T: Ben Pauling
• Trip: 2m 6f 10y
• Trainer RTF%: 54%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 113%

Consistent handicapper who stays well and acts on good ground, dropping slightly in class here. Often runs his race and should be suited by a properly run stamina test around this galloping track. A recent fall is a minor concern but he is generally sound and offers a modest NP>IP edge.

• J: Richie McLernon
• T: Charlie Longsdon
• Trip: 2m 6f 10y
• Trainer RTF%: 45%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 113%

Course-and-distance winner who now finds himself 2lb below his last winning mark. Proven in these conditions and likely to be finishing off strongly from off the pace. Reliable jumper and a live each-way player in a competitive heat — each-way advised where four places are on offer at 1/5 odds.

• J: Tom Bellamy
• T: Alan King
• Trip: 2m 3f 110y
• Trainer RTF%: 58%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 108%

Lightly raced and open to further progress, with form on soft ground a key plus. Strong SecEff-J figures from last season and proven effectiveness fresh suggest he can step forward again. Track configuration looks ideal, though the current odds leave him rated only fair on value.

• J: Sean Bowen
• T: Olly Murphy
• Trip: 2m 3f 110y
• Trainer RTF%: 52%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 108%

Unbeaten in two earlier hurdle starts and now makes a fascinating handicap debut. The softer ground is an unknown and the model expects this to be a stiffer test than he has faced so far. Jockey and yard are big positives but the price looks on the short side given those uncertainties.

• J: Elliott England
• T: Ben Pauling
• Trip: 2m 3f 110y
• Trainer RTF%: 54%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 108%

Arrives in excellent heart after two recent wins and clearly thriving, albeit with a penalty to shoulder. Will relish a stamina test at this trip and is likely to be on the sharp end of the pace. Recent jumping has been foot-perfect and he may be slightly underestimated if the market focuses solely on classier rivals.

• J: Gavin Sheehan
• T: Billy Aprahamian
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: N/A
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 111%

Consistent handicap chaser who now drops to a winnable mark and clearly acts on good ground. Should be suited by a sharp 2m test and the likelihood of a solid pace that he can sit just behind. Rarely makes serious errors and is the type to be involved late if the race falls apart.

• J: Freddie Gordon
• T: Chris Gordon
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: 31%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 111%

Arrives from a much stronger race last time and drops in class here. Form on good ground is solid and the return to 2m is a positive move given his cruising speed. Market position is justified; model has him as a key contender but not a standout on value.

• J: Tom Bellamy
• T: Alan King
• Trip: 2m
• Trainer RTF%: 58%
• Odds: (not provided)
• Overround: 111%

Temptingly handicapped and better suited returning to a right-handed track where his record reads well. Needs to sharpen up his jumping but has form figures of 113 at this course, underlining his track affinity. Conditions are in his favour and he is a fair-priced player to hit the frame.

Strong chasing pedigree and a potentially lenient handicap mark combine with a positive NP>IP edge. The Skelton team are traditionally potent with this type of switcher and his hurdling platform suggests a better chaser in the making. On good ground over 2m4f in a small field, the race scenario plays perfectly to his strengths — this is the “run-that-wins” profile on the card.
