Crazierthandaisy
Low-mileage 7-y-o CRAZIERTHANDAISY would have finished closer to Top Guy at Newbury barring a late error and on 3 lb better terms, she's narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's unexposed stayer. Heart Over Head steps into a very competitive handicap for his hat-trick bid but merits plenty of respect given his recent improvement, while Sea Invasion could be interesting back over hurdles providing the ground isn't too testing.

Landed second hurdles success at Warwick (21f) in November and confirmed herself a stayer when encouraging fourth at Newbury last month, likely to have finished just behind Top Guy but for a late mistake. Well-backed that day and this low-mileage 7-y-o may yet be capable of better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 57yGood to SoftHurdle4/17Sandown Park2m 3f 178ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdlepu/7Warwick2m 5f 5yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Punchestown2m 3f 93yYieldingHurdle10/25Wetherby2m 5f 56yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/13- 6Heart Over HeadJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Fergal O'Brien-747311Age 75/16/111/2

Improving son of Solider Of Fortune (closely related to the same connections' useful Alaphilippe) who readily got off the mark in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter and followed up in good style at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) latest.

Irish point winner has benefited from going up in trip, justifying support when opening his Rules account in 3m novice handicap at Aintree and was unlucky to bump into a progressive one when runner-up in solid handicap at Newbury last time.

Landed third success in 2m5f handicap at Haydock last January and backed that up when fifth in a better race at Newbury next time. Shaped as if better for his reappearance at Haydock last month and well worth another go at this trip with Harry Cobden aboard first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park3m 58yGood to SoftHurdle5/10Bangor-on-dee2m 7f 32yGoodHurdle4/5Newbury2m 4f 118ySoftHurdle5/11Haydock Park2m 5f 50ySoftHurdle1/11Ludlow2m 5f 55yGood to SoftHurdle1/8- 12DiamatisteJ: Mr Joshua NewmanT: Kayley Woollacott251-432Age 78/18/115/2

Irish bumper winner who struck 3 times over hurdles last season, latterly with much improved success at Newbury. Reappearance third at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) was respectable and likely to strip fitter, he could do better now tackling staying distances.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 3f 88ySoftHurdle3/7Newbury2m 2f 183yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle5/8Fontwell Park2m 1f 162ySoftHurdle1/9Wetherby2mGoodHurdle1/5- 9Sea InvasionJ: Rex DingleT: Anthony Honeyball321-163Age 810/112/111/1

Went the right way over hurdles for Chris Gordon and campaigned as chaser for current yard, winning back-to-back handicaps at Plumpton (25.7f) in the spring and back to form when third at Kempton last month.

Much improved to win at Market Rasen (20.6f) in April and further progress after 8 months off when making all 9-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f). Seemed to find race coming too soon in hat-trick bid 10 days on (went in snatches under different tactics).

Twice raced in maiden hurdles but was much improved when winning a 4m hunter at Cheltenham on his first try over fences under Rules. Doubled his tally winning a 16-runner amateurs handicap there in November and good second in London National next time.

On the up last season with novice/handicap wins on soft ground at Plumpton, finding plenty. Took strong hold but stepped up on reappearance when midfield in 13-runner handicap at Lingfield (19.5f) last month and unexposed over this markedly longer trip.

Fairly useful at his best over hurdles in 2023/24 but let down by his jumping over fences since. Jumped better on hurdle return in visor (retained) when fifth behind Top Guy/Crazierthandaisy at Newbury latest and not ruled out if he can build on that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 57yGood to SoftHurdle5/17Lingfield Park2m 6f 10yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/10Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGoodChase6/11Perth2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chaseur/8Leicester2m 4f 25ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/8- 2Operation MannaJ: Cameron IlesT: Tom Lacey04/P-2PAge 1018/114/116/1

Three-time hurdles winner in 2023 but very lightly raced since. Showed plenty of ability remains when second on chase bow/reappearance but couldn't back that up, pulling up at Wincanton (26.7f, heavy).

Ran no sort of race on hurdle return in November but totally different proposition when a comfortable 4-length winner at Warwick (21f, soft).

Fairly useful two-time hurdle winner who was in the process of running well (in third) when fell 2 out in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap chase.
