Helnwein
HELNWEIN has run well in hotly-contested handicaps on his last 3 starts, including behind subsequent County Hurdle winner Wilful at Ascot on his most recent outing, and is expected to find the drop in grade liberating. Across Earth beat all bar one who had the run of things on his latest start at Huntingdon and is an obvious threat back from a break, with veteran Faivoir also shortlisted now eased in class.

Strong-travelling sort held his form well last term, finishing runner-up in the Swinton at Haydock and returned better than ever when runner-up in the Greatwood on reappearance. Far from disgraced behind subsequent County Hurdle winner Wilful at Ascot latest and big player down in grade.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAscot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/13Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle2/18Haydock Park1m 7f 144yGoodHurdle2/16Chepstow2m 11yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/5Aintree2m 4fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle7/20- 7Across EarthJ: Caoilin QuinnE: Gary & Josh Moore34-1312Âge 54/14/19/2

Returned an improved model this season, resuming winning ways in cosy fashion in 2m handicap at Sandown in December, ridden more patiently than usual. Beat all bar the one who'd had an easy lead at Huntingdon on latest start and remains of firm interest.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHuntingdon1m 7f 171yGood to SoftHurdle2/7Sandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/9Kempton Park2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/10Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Hereford2m 53yGoodHurdle4/6- 5NowmeladJ: Lee EdwardsE: Henry Oliver9-46222Âge 713/213/26/1

Produced a career best when finding only one too good for a third successive start in 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Hereford (2m, soft) in January.

Improved again to make it 2 from 2 since cheekpieces were applied 8-runner handicap at Warwick (2m, soft) 41 days ago, albeit benefiting from a good ride. Needs to pull out more from a 6 lb higher mark but dangerous to dismiss in current mood.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWarwick2mHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Taunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle1/8Wincanton1m 7f 50ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/13Kempton Park2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Exeter2m 161yGoodHurdle12/17- 6SpirouJ: Paul O'BrienE: Harry Derham21/Âge 611/111/110/1

Fair form when third in 14.5f maiden on second of 2 starts on Flat and confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut with victory in 9-runner juvenile at Bordeaux in 2023/24.

Failed to take to chasing as well as might have been expected but wasn't discredited back in this sphere when seventh of 13 in 2½m Lingfield handicap in January. Ran poorly at Ffos Las on most recent outing but was possibly unsuited by testing conditions.

Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Henry de Bromhead but was below form on first outing for current yard on the level at Newcastle last month.

Won the County Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival in 2023. On an ever growing losing run but retains more ability aged 11 than a cursory glance at this season's exploits might suggest, doing best of those in rear in the William Hill Hurdle over C&D on most recent outing. Interesting down in grade.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewbury2m 69yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle3/15Ascot2m 3f 63ySoftHurdle7/10Ascot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle8/13Cheltenham2m 87ySoftHurdle3/18Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/11
