Pergamon
Solid hurdles strike-rate (4-7); seeks a hat-trick following wins at Huntingdon and Ludlow (both 2m, good; combined rise of 11lb); wouldn't want too much rain - good to soft would be fine - but otherwise holds a clear chance.

Pure Gold
C&D winner who remains 4lb above her last winning mark (Hexham); low key in two C&D starts this year, beaten 19l and 17.5l respectively; this race is easier but she still needs to raise her game.

Ravenscraig Castle
Won over C&D (Class 5, good; same mark) last July; has mixed hurdling with Flat racing this year and wasn't beaten far when third over C&D (good; 7-1, Just Dottie fifth) 25 days ago; highly likely to give his running, even though he isn't a frequent winner.

Just Dottie
Four C&D wins, the most recent when justifying favouritism from 2lb higher in May 2025; Flat winner since (last September); reportedly never travelling when only fifth of 12 (Ravenscraig Castle third) here on latest start.

Tigress Lilly
Seven-race maiden; no real improvement for wind surgery, beaten 13.5l over C&D latest; in good hands but still has plenty of work to do to reverse placings with Ravenscraig Castle (third) and Just Dottie (fifth); best to focus elsewhere.

Interchangeable
Naas winner (2m4f maiden hurdle) for Stuart Crawford in December 2024; 0-6 for this trainer, beaten 25l at Hexham (2m, good; 9-1) six weeks ago; mark continues to slide, now 11lb lower than three starts back; others are more obvious.
