Inconsistent this season but was placed 16 days ago and remains on a good mark
4	Powerofjet Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Martin Todhunter	J:Sean Quinlan T:Martin Todhunter	157	—	094738	87	98	88	62d	—	—	0	15.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Dropped out rather tamely last time but his Sedgefield run on Boxing Day was a good effort

Arrested decline when third in a recent claimer but that form may not be reliable

0-6 over hurdles; not yet fully exposed but needs to learn to settle better

Has suffered some heavy defeats since win last spring; can't be supported with confidence
8	Balranald Grey J:Jamie Hamilton T:Alison Hamilton	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Alison Hamilton	148	p	071134	78	96	79	99d	—	—	+11	19.5	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Fully exposed after 36 hurdle runs but ended 2024 in good form; could have a say

Runs this track well and is well handicapped, but far too inconsistent to rely upon

Comfortable winner on handicap debut but safely held since; tricky to predict
