Castle Ivers (IRE)

0%

Bumper winner who made it two out of three over hurdles at Perth (2m, good to soft) when making all; looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip and holds good claims.

Continuance (GB)

0%

Has three wins over hurdles at around 2m; may have needed the run on his first start since January when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) last month and this step up in trip should suit.

Trust House (IRE)

0%

Progressive in the spring when winning at Market Rasen and Ffos Las over around 2m; no disgrace in finishing runner-up to stablemate Castle Ivers at Perth (2m, good to soft) last time; Sean Bowen prefers Castle Ivers on this occasion but still a contender up in trip.

Speed Davis (FR)

0%

Completed a double, five months apart, when successful at Bangor (2m7f, good) in April; this is tougher off 7lb higher but may have more to offer in search of a three-timer.

Oakley (GER)

0%

Both wins over hurdles have came at Hereford over 2m3f on good; ran up to his best when runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; he needs to be held up to get the best out of him; this is a step up in class and he needs to improve further.

Bertie B (GB)

0%

Has two wins over hurdles but was below his best in his last three starts, in 2025, and is still higher than his last winning mark; returns from a 411-day absence and may need to come down in the weights.

Theatre Tom (IRE)

0%

Beaten in three points and in four novice/maiden hurdles; returns from a lengthy absence and makes handicap debut; likely to need the run; trainer also runs Castle Ivers and Trust House.
