V Twelve (IRE)

0%

Versatile; soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase); needs to bounce back, but has a chance on his form on the Flat last year; soft going not a problem.

Scotland The Brave (GB)

0%

Won at Newcastle in February last year (2m); back after a wind op but probably best watched after 405-day break.

Junkyard Dog (IRE)

0%

Ex-Irish; fair hurdler; only Flat win was over 1m2f at Navan in April 2025 (good); handles soft ground; not out of it.

Dr Rio (FR)

0%

All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern.

Naturalia (GB)

0%

Not the best of strike-rates but two sound runs this season, latest when runner-up over C&D 11 days (good); could go well but not particularly consistent; softer ground no problem.

Jaminoz (IRE)

0%

Letmeseethecolts (GB)

0%

Won twice last year, second time over 1m4f at Pontefract in April (good); well beaten after 380-day break last time and has a bit to prove.

Dubai Venture (IRE)

0%
