Verdict

Having got off the mark in maiden company at Newcastle on his penultimate start, HE'S BRESILIAN produced his best effort yet when beaten only by one at Ayr who had eased in the weights. He looks to hold sound claims of getting back to winning ways. El Curamach was progressive when last seen and rates an intriguing runner on the back of a lengthy absence, whilst Super Freddie has better days ahead of him as he gains more experience.

1	Easily off the mark when landing a Newcastle maiden (16.9f) in December and produced his best effort yet when second in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (2m) 24 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb on the back of that and bold showing looks on the cards again. 1st Pick 1 He's Bresilian Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Jedd O'keeffe J: Sean Quinlan T: Jedd O'keeffe	100	-	-	-	37%

6	Low-mileage 8-y-o who was progressive in 3 starts during 2023/24, off the mark from the front without looking the finished article in 9-runner Warwick maiden (2m) on final outing in May 2024. Absent since but booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye on handicap bow and he's very much one to note. 2nd Pick 6 El Curamach (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Ryan Potter J: Sean Bowen T: Ryan Potter	91	-	-	-	20%

2	Well-made gelding who showed fair form when placed on each of his 2 starts in novice/maiden company but still looked a work-in-progress when seventh of 9 on handicap debut at Haydock (18.9f) 7 weeks ago (hung right most bends). Can do better moving forward, not least when chasing. 3rd Pick 2 Super Freddie Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	98	-	-	-	20%
