Verdict

A well-backed winner last time, NAKASSAMA may still be ahead of his mark based on his fairly useful Flat form and is fancied to follow up on a track that should suit. Sea The Clouds and Evenwood Sonofagun bring solid course form to the table, while the other Irish raiders, Miss Manzor and Butty O Brien, both need a close look in the betting.

Verdict
Fairly useful Flat performer who's landed a gamble/finished close second on his most recent hurdle starts in Britain. Again well backed when successful at Downpatrick (2¾m) last time and, while 14 lb higher off his British mark, he's still well treated compared to his Flat form.

Verdict
Notched a third C&D win here last month and, having nearly made it a quick-fire double for the second consecutive season over a longer trip (25f) last time, another big run is expected at a track where he clearly excels.

Verdict
Has 2 wins/close second to his name around this track. Shaped as if still in need of the outing when fifth over C&D last time and strikes as the type who may benefit from the more severe headgear (visor replaces cheekpieces). Expected to go well.

Verdict
Needed every yard of the trip to capitalise on a drop in grade at Kelso (21f) last time. Record around this track isn't too shabby (hit the frame both starts) but yet to win off a mark this high.

Verdict
Saw out the longer trip (23f) well to record a second career/Hexham success last time, though the pair at the head of the market both underperformed that day, and he's now on a career-high mark.

Verdict
Dual C&D winner who looked on his way back with a couple of creditable efforts here last month. All his wins have come under softer conditions but he did finish a close fourth on good ground here last summer and has Brian Hughes aboard for the first time.

Verdict
One-time fairly useful hurdler for Willie Mullins. Hinted that ability remains in 3 starts for Gordon Elliott and she's one to note if supported with Sean Bowen taking over.

Verdict
Three-time winner for Jamie Snowden who stepped up on his stable debut when runner-up over fences here on Friday. Not discounted if turned out quickly for yard that has done well with similar recruits (Sea The Clouds/Secret Secret).

Verdict
Headstrong sort who hasn't shaped as though a revival is imminent, though he's 2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and interesting that Harry Reed rides him rather than last-time-out winner Divilabother.

Landed a cross-code 4 timer in 2024/25, though he failed to meet market expectations on latest hurdle start at Newton Abbot in September and is now fitted with a first-time tongue strap following a lacklustre display on the level at Chester last time.

Verdict
Travelled strongly to notch a fourth success for the yard at Musselburgh. Probably found the race coming plenty soon enough when fourth at Kelso in early-April, and not out of the question she'll resume her progress after a break.

Below the best of her winning hurdle form but still in good heart when fourth in a Killarney chase last month. Since sold cheaply (€6000) out of the Patrick Magee stable but has joined a capable Irish yard that won this race as part of a notable double on the card 12 months ago.
