Unleash The Beast (G) FAV
Race-by-race progress in trio of maiden hurdles in 2024/25. Limited impact both handicap starts 8 months apart but this step up in trip is expected to unlock more. Major player dropped slightly in cl…

C&D winner but essentially falling in the weights without really looking ready to take advantage this term.

Cold Henry (G)
Modest Flat winner who has displayed aptitude for hurdling this winter. Handicaps more suitable but mark looks a stiff one.

Justus (G)

Back-to-back Flat winner on April 2024. Lightly raced but out of form in both codes since so isn't one to be interested in. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Sparky Tom (G)
Minor promise only in 5 starts under Rules. Makes handicap debut but tendency to jump right so far a concern at this track.

C&D winner back in 2023. More miss than hit since but a tongue strap and a breathing operation enabled her to get career back on track when third returned to this venue 4 weeks ago.

Opened his account at Perth (2m4f) in July and has continued in good form since, better than ever in fact when making a winning start for new yard at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. 4 lb rise shouldn't pre…

Mooserwirt (G)
Successful on sole outing in points. Looked a work-in-progress under Rules to end 2025 and a potential improver now allotted a mark.

Still a maiden but brace of placed efforts in December confirm she's competitive at this level. Failed to stay 3m last time so that run can be overlooked.
