Has been running well and for one who likes to lead this drop back in trip could work
2	Lheur De Gloire Bay J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	166	—	58566-	96	100	91	67d	—	—	-2	17.2	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Had a wind op since disappointing on handicap debut; wouldn't yet be exposed
5	Pottersjetamay Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Matt Crawley	J:Jack Quinlan T:Matt Crawley	154	tp	PP326-	84	100	92	18d	—	—	+2	17.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Back hurdling for his last three starts and has to raise his game; cheekpieces may help
8	Chico Magnifica Chestnut J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	J:Sean Bowen T:Olly Murphy	152	—	6899-	88	99	72	23d	—	—	+1	12.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Disappointing hurdler given Flat ability but he now makes his handicap debut
13	Littletown Lad Bay J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	J:Jonathan England T:Sam England	149	t	/8006-	79	92	70	41d	—	—	-1	10.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Had a wind op since performing below market expectations on handicap debut in March
11	Glenridding Chestnut J:Callum Bewley T:Ewan Whillans	J:Callum Bewley T:Ewan Whillans	150	t	75585-	86	98	102	21d	—	—	+4	10.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
1m winner in 2024; well held in both handicaps over hurdles and tries a tongue-tie; risky
4	Paragon Bay J:Paul O'Brien T:Pam Sly	J:Paul O'Brien T:Pam Sly	155	—	474-	91	94	61	40d	—	—	+7	11.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Modest maiden on Flat and a similar story over hurdles, all maidens; handicap debut
6	Louie The Legend Bay J:Tabitha Worsley T:Dylan Cunha	J:Tabitha Worsley T:Dylan Cunha	154	—	655-	90	98	90	—	—	—	+6	11.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Dual Flat winner but poor in that scene the last twice; stamina looks an issue for jumping
12	Liberty Looming Chestnut J:Ryan Mania T:Adam Nicol	J:Ryan Mania T:Adam Nicol	149	ht	55/4P-	79	90	65	341d	—	—	+4	8.5	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Unplaced in 17 starts across both codes; new yard and new headgear, but much to prove
3	Saachi Bay J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	J:Charlie Todd T:Ian Williams	158	—	9076-	88	97	58	—	—	—	+7	10.6	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Uncompetitive in four races over hurdles but recent AW runs bode well
9	Blazing Saint Bay J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	J:Jack Tudor T:Christian Williams	151	—	96P-	81	91	51	82d	—	—	+5	8.7	6.25/1	25/1 4%
No worthwhile form at huge odds in three maiden hurdles at about 2m4f; handicap debut
7	McGrath From Clune Bay J:Aidan Weaver(7) T:Tom Gretton	J:Aidan Weaver(7) T:Tom Gretton	154	htp	12U2P-	84	-	-	47d	—	—	+12	13.8	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Capable chaser but 0-12 over hurdles and over a year since last ran in this discipline
10	Sunset In Paris Bay J:Brendan Powell T:J R Jenkins	J:Brendan Powell T:J R Jenkins	151	—	/9400/	81	-	-	—	—	—	+6	8.2	20.00/1	80/1 1%
This is a belated return to hurdling and he's now a bottom-grade Flat performer
