Quick Sharpener
Absent since his very easy success in Wetherby novice event (2m, good) in March 2023 when taking hurdles record to 2-5; interesting off current mark, assuming he returns in similar form; should take to chasing, judged on his pedigree and point win.

Llandinabo Lad
Ended last season with a poor effort and losing spell goes back to his Listed win over hurdles in 2020; not one to support with total confidence but has a fighting chance off this reduced mark dropped back in class, for all that he's 0-8 over fences.

Home Free
Heavy-ground hurdles winner; ran well switched to fences at Hexham (1m7f, good; clear second off 3lb lower) five months ago when last seen; had wind surgery since and now wears tongue-tie; open to progress in this sphere and commands respect.

Beat Box
Disappointing favourite at Hexham (1m7f) on Friday when bidding to take his record for current yard to 5-5; rebound is far from impossible but Harry Skelton prefers interesting stablemate Home Free, who looks likely to show progress.

Cabhfuilfungi
2m4f hurdles winner who drops back in distance for chase debut and lacks recent match practice having been absent since a below-par effort in May (second run for new yard); not sure what to expect but market support should be heeded.

Jeudidee
Unraced on soft/heavy; bumper/hurdles winner who switched to fences the last twice, going easily when falling at Stratford then almost falling (slipped on landing; again three out) at Worcester; had wind surgery since; possibilities if taking well to added hood.
