1 tip

Comment: 0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible.

Zacony Rebel

Comment: Returned from break with low-key hurdle run last month but his chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) a few days later was arguably more promising than eventual 22l defeat suggests; may still have potential over fences.

Henry Box Brown

Comment: Dual 2m4f chase winner last year, over C&D (good) in the summer and at Leicester (soft) in December; looked held when unseating rider at penultimate fence last month, after a break, but that run might have brought him on and his current mark is workable.

Verdict: Michael Keady's CURRUMBIN made a bright start to his hurdling career over C&D a week ago and is given the vote.

Squire Danagher

Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: B Pauling Age/Wt: 5/11-1 F: 82

Comment: Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland; disappointed on stable/hurdle debut in May but last month's C&D second (good) was much better and he's open to further improvement over jumps; engaged 6.48 Stratford last night.

Comment: Lightly raced since winning small-field course bumper in spring 2023 but left inauspicious hurdling debut a long way behind when causing 20-1 surprise at Warwick (2m, good) last month and could easily have more improvement to come.

Comment: Fair Flat stayer who made a winning stable/hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and was not discredited when clear second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but still respected.

Comment: Remains a maiden after 12 attempts over hurdles but has found only one too good on the last three occasions and only just lost out when upped to around this trip at Uttoxeter (good) in May; 3lb higher now but still unexposed at the trip, so firmly in the picture.

Sixty Plus

Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: James Owen Age/Wt: 5/10-6 F: 8P-640 OR: 75

Comment: Showed no significant promise in four maiden/novice hurdles for Clare Hobson (2m-2m4f); attracted support for new yard but was always struggling when tenth of 11 finishers at Stratford (2mf, good; 13-8) last month behind Al Mootamarid when sporting first-time cheekpieces which are now replaced by a first-time visor; fascinating if the money comes once more but difficult to recommend.

Sweet Serene

Jockey: Tabitha Worsley Trainer: Georgie Howell Age/Wt: 5/10-2 F: 4456-8 OR: 66

Comment: Yet to be placed from seven starts under rules and difficult to fancy from 5lb wrong in the handicap.

Verdict: A bare 2m4f is likely to be a minimum for NOBLE RECALL but he's been getting it together of late and should have more to offer.

Comment: Made an eyecatching bumper debut over a year ago but after a fair start over hurdles it's not really happened, including in handicaps the last twice; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added.

Comment: Went very close on his stable debut at Warwick (2m) before disappointing at odds-on when only third at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in May; back on track upped further in trip when beaten under 2l at Uttoxter (2m4f, also good) 18 days ago; contender.

Comment: Probably unlucky when third at Bangor in May and built on that to run out a wide-margin winner at Fakenham (also 2m4f, good) one month ago; 7lb rise looks perfectly fair; player.

Gms Prince

Jockey: Jay Tidball Trainer: Sarah Hollinshead Age/Wt: 10/11-5 F: F5-37 OR: 84

Comment: Longstanding maiden but was disputing the lead when tipping up at the last at Market Rasen (2m2f) in March; could never get competitive at that track (about 2m, also good) last time, however, and others have less to prove.

Jo's Rainbow

Jockey: Tristan Durrell Trainer: D Skelton Age/Wt: 5/11-5 F: 4775-7 OR: 84

Comment: 0-9 over hurdles; back from a break when beaten nearly 20l at Taunton (good to firm) in April then attracted support before flopping at Stratford (also about 2m, good) at the end of May; worrying that her previous best had come at that track and stamina needs to be proved back at 2m4f.

Lunar Ocean

Jockey: Mr Jack Andrews Trainer: Billy Aprahamian Age/Wt: 6/11-0 F: 225-2 OR: 79

Comment: Respectable third over hurdles on his last start for Paul Webber; all five runs for this yard have been over fences, finishing runner-up four times including at Fontwell (about 2m3f, good) in this headgear combination last time; switching disciplines but he's respected again.

Circle Of Hope

Jockey: Fern O'Brien Trainer: B Brookhouse Age/Wt: 5/10-12 F: 33/0P OR: 77

Comment: Remote third in two juvenile hurdles and was tailed off on her handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in May; that came after a long absence but she fared no better when pulled up at Southwell one month later.

Golden Moonshake

Jockey: Freddie Gordon Trainer: N J Hawke Age/Wt: 5/10-11 F: 39P2-8 OR: 76

Comment: Offered something to work on when runner-up at Hereford in April (his second handicap) but he was tailed off at Perth (also 2m4f, good) in May; still early days but he's risky after that.

Comment: Career started with a succession of heavy defeats but he's been getting the hang of things in handicaps and made the breakthrough at Southwell (about 2m4f, good) 43 days ago; it's likely there's more to come.
