Give Me A Boom
Had wind surgery before this season; pulled up on handicap/chase debut before returning to hurdles in a maiden at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) where he fended off a well-backed Skelton handicap debutant with a subsequent winner in third; raised 8lb but that breakthrough success should have given him a boost and he stays further, which is no bad thing around here.

Don't Wind Me Up
Stoutly bred; beaten about 16l behind the smart Regent's Stroll in a Newbury maiden (soft) before going down by under 3l in another maiden at Exeter that was won by an odds-on favourite; brings plenty of potential into handicaps off this mark and the stable won this 12 months ago with Major Charlie O'Shea doing the steering.

Kourosh
Failed to go on for the Skeltons after winning a soft-ground maiden in late 2023 and, having disputed the lead, he was ultimately pulled up on stable debut in a handicap at Doncaster; needs a revival but the hood goes on and slow ground won't faze him.

Casa Loupi
Looked useful as a novice but some lengthy breaks have stalled his progress; now returns from another and, other than when going okay when falling on his penultimate start, he wasn't in great form when last seen.

Moab
0-6 on the Flat; signs of progress as a hurdler when beaten under 5l on his handicap debut at Wincanton (good to soft) but the likelihood of slower ground could be an issue (withdrawn the once on soft).

Hidor De Bersy
Bumper/maiden winner for Tom Symonds and was also placed over fences; first and third in three subsequent points and he's on a potentially good mark now starting out for Mel Rowley; copes with testing ground (rain forecast) and he's not entirely dismissed in the new tongue-tie.

Kentford Mallard
Exposed veteran who is 6lb out of the weights and she stays a lot further than this; others preferred.
