Stiff task last time, retains potential and could start handicap career on lenient mark
NR	Hugos New Horse b NON-RUNNER · Paul Nicholls	NON-RUNNER · Paul Nicholls	170	—	111131	136	129	118	1d	—	—	+5	63.6	15/8 35%
Followed 4 wins with fine third in big field at Sandown; another novice win here yesterday

Best form at about 2m but certainly on a workable mark if seeing out the longer distance
6	Uhtred b Bridget Andrews · Dan Skelton	Bridget Andrews · Dan Skelton	153	—	337P96	119	142	114	22d	—	—	+7	21.3	11/2 15%
Well held for this yard but has tumbled in weights; 2m was probably inadequate last time
2	Hunters Call b Lewis Stones(5) · Olly Murphy	Lewis Stones(5) · Olly Murphy	164	p	3-2356	130	139	121	49d	—	—	+15	25	15/2 12%
13yo; third of four in this race last year but seems to have deteriorated of late
1	Jai Froid b Lewis Dobb(7) · L J Morgan	Lewis Dobb(7) · L J Morgan	168	v	3548-0	134	134	100	20d	—	—	+15	23.2	10 10%
Well beaten at Ascot after a year off; falling in the weights but there are obvious risks
4	Glinger Flame gr Brian Hughes · Nicky Richards	Brian Hughes · Nicky Richards	159	p	453S2-	125	134	-	568d	—	—	+21	26.9	16 6%
Off since neck second in October 2021; now 3lb lower and has a good record at Ayr
8	Curious Times b Danny Mullins · S R B Crawford	Danny Mullins · S R B Crawford	148	tp	1003F0	114	138	119	54d	—	—	+13	17.8	16 6%
Mostly disappointing since winning at Perth but can now run off a 3lb lower mark
