Verdict

GOLD FOR ALEC showed improved form making an early switch to handicaps when runner-up at Wincanton last month and, with that form proving strong, he's fancied to go one better, especially with promising 7-lb claimer Callum Pritchard retaining the ride. Pyrotechnic and Magic Seven head the dangers.

Verdict
Showed improved form making a quick switch to handicaps when second in 9-runner event at Wincanton (15.2f, good, 11/1) 27 days ago. May do better still and has to be of interest with promising 7-lb claimer retaining the ride.

Verdict
Winner on the Flat in France. Definite promise to glean from first 2 starts over hurdles and he was too geed-up making handicap debut after 10 months off at Wincanton 27 days ago. That should have taken the freshness out of him and he's potentially well treated.

Verdict
Won juvenile event at Ballinrobe on hurdling debut (final start for Joseph O'Brien) last season and also successful at Cheltenham on second outing for Jack Jones. Failed to kick on thereafter but ran about as well as could be expected in minor event back at Cheltenham on return last month.

Verdict
Capitalised on a falling mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, good, 10/1) 15 days ago, settling better over a shorter trip. That form has the potential to work out so a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up.

Fairly useful dual winning chaser for this yard last season but finished a well-held sixth back over hurdles on Fontwell reappearance. Stumbled and unseated rider second at Newton Abbot since.

Verdict
Fair winner on the Flat in Germany who bolted up on his Wetherby hurdle debut last November. No real progress thereafter, pulled on in handicap at Kempton (2m) when last seen in April and met the same fate at Chepstow on his reappearance last month. Something to prove.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 and offered little on his reappearance at Market Rasen last month. Others more persuasive despite falling mark.

Verdict
Showed fair form when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice in March 2023 but failed to justify support in a Kempton handicap last November and produced a laboured effort on the Flat for this yard at Kempton recently. Plenty to prove.
