Present Fair
Free-goer who won twice at Bangor last year (2m3f/2m7f); absent since consecutive heavy defeats last July/September, though, and returns with quite a bit to prove.

Westerton
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip.

Secret Secret
Three-time C&D winner, including last two editions of this race; would appeal sightly more on ground slower than good but his fourth here (3m1f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and his well-held fifth over C&D last month came in a much stronger race than this; high on the list.

Dusky Days
Won over 2m1f (good) here last summer and was second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); not at same level this year (four runs) and was tailed off last time (2m1f) but can't be ruled out off current mark.

Poetry Man
1-19 under rules, the win gained in a three-runner chase in 2024; bounced back from three poor chase runs when placed over C&D (good) in first-time visor in May but was back in the doldrums over C&D three weeks ago; now has cheekpieces refitted; too unreliable.

Born Like Me
Unplaced all six hurdle starts; not disgraced when fourth of seven over about 2m6f (if additional yardage is included) at Market Rasen (good) last month, though, and may yet have a bigger run in him.

Came good at ninth attempt, drawing 13l clear to score over C&D (good) last month; hiked up 10lb for that and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but still an obvious one to consider.

Drumlee Myth
Placed in all three bumpers last year in 2024; did not show a great deal over hurdles last year but had soft ground as a plausible excuse when tailed off here (2m1f) on handicap debut a year ago; tries a new trip on this first start since; worth a glance in the betting.

Consistent in defeat last autumn and winter (2m3f-2m4f) but well below best since returning from three-month break this spring (three runs), and was pulled up over C&D on only previous visit here.

Cross Of Redmoor
0-9 in points and 0-7 under rules; tailed off on last month's chasing debut (1m7f), after a break, and now reverts to hurdling in new headgear; 9lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over.
