Pitwood Road
Trained in Ireland when winning an Ayr bumper and Market Rasen maiden in early 2024 (blinkered both times); failed to complete in two chases (no headgear) for Chris Grant but interesting to see what Nicky Richards can do with him.

Interchangeable
Irish maiden hurdle winner; rushed up to lead before two out in a 2m1f handicap here a fortnight ago and he faded when it mattered; could last longer this time if ridden differently.

Sao Carlos
Chance off this mark on his best form for Olly Murphy but signed off for that yard on a downer and he was pulled up on debut for this one; has questions to answer.

Shadow Chaser
Irish point winner; 0-7 over hurdles but made a positive start for this yard when runner-up at Ayr (2m3f, soft) and carried strength in the betting that day; raised 3lb but has better prospects than most of these; Brian Hughes has a good record for the yard.

Lord De Vinci
Lightly raced but didn't look that well treated for his handicap debut at Ayr in March (3m, soft) and duly struggled; probably his best run came when fourth in the 2m1f novice hurdle on this card 12 months ago, so coming back in trip might help.

Half Track
Quiet start to this season but he's got himself well handicapped and was only 9-2 when departing mid-race here two weeks ago in the race in which Drop Kick ran second; not ruled out.

Always A Reason
Returning from a break when fourth to Drop Kick here last month and was better at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) where he prevailed by a length; just 3lb higher and open to further progress after only six races.

Drop Kick
All out to make a successful handicap debut over 2m4f here last month and the 6lb rise found him out over slightly shorter on his return visit (again on soft); a further 1lb nudge was mean for that 4.5l defeat but this gelding is still only a 4yo.
