2-2 for this yard and over hurdles; promising and one to take very seriously
2	Imperial Bede Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo Oneill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo Oneill	159	—	120-31	120	122	115	29d	—	—	—	17.5	—	—
Clearcut win at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago; this race asks a lot more
3	Kayf Legend Bay J:Tom Cannon T:Chris Gordon	J:Tom Cannon T:Chris Gordon	159	—	4-1561	-	121	80	11d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Faces much stiffer task; stable is going very strongly and won this race in 2020 and 2022

Hooded today after well beaten in a top handicap; the clear form pick if back to his best

2nd in Cheltenham Grade 2; soft going may have been against him in Sandown Grade 1 (40-1)

Winning run has ended but she was not discredited; this test could suit; one to consider
7	Postmark Bay J:Mitchell Bastyan T:Milton Harris	J:Mitchell Bastyan T:Milton Harris	147	t	71	-	112	72	6d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Big step up in class after last Sunday's win but improvement in his jumping would help
