Hereford 17:00 Odds Comparison

Bred to make a chaser and improved on hurdles form at the first attempt when second in 21f handicap at this course in December. Let down by his jumping at Warwick next time, but worth another chance back here with longer trip promising to suit and good-value claimer on board.

Still looking for a first success, but in first-time cheekpieces ran one of this season's better races when third in novice handicap at Bangor (17f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Has form at this longer distance and he's one to consider having eased further in the weights.

Modest form over hurdles and didn't go with much promise on his chasing debut, beaten 21 lengths when second of only 3 finishers in novice handicap over C&D (soft) 5 weeks ago. Has something to find but it remains early days for him in this sphere.

Lost his way over fences in 2024/25 and has fared little better this season, including back over hurdles the last twice. However, he lurks on a dangerous mark returned to chasing with yard amongst the winners of late.

Hurdles/chase winner for Rebecca Menzies in 2024/25 but has shaped discouragingly mainly campaigned over fences for current yard. Lacklustre effort back hurdling at Catterick last month, so first-time cheekpieces need to help spark a return to form.

Modest hurdles winner who matched that form sent chasing when third in handicap here (21f) in November. However, he continues to be held back by his jumping, making a bad mistake at the ninth when well beaten at Chepstow (3m, soft) in January.

Didn't offer much in varied events over hurdles and tended to jump left when pulled up in handicap over C&D (soft) on chasing debut in January, Had a breathing operation since with tongue strap now on first time.

All 3 career victories over 3m at Southwell. After 5 months off, looked rusty when fifth of 7 in handicap at the same C&D 28 days ago, so he could fare better this time around having dropped below last winning mark.

Notched a first success under Rules in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle a year ago but has struggled for form since, making little impact in 4 starts over fences including on his last 2 outings. Tongue strap back on.
