BU HAN TAG (Trap 6) has been in superb form at Hove, winning four out of his last five starts, including a swift 17.49. Despite carrying another penalty, his early pace and the vacant box inside make him a formidable contender. A November '22 whelp, he's shown remarkable progression from A7 to A3 in just a month.
Bonfire Bullet (Trap 1) has steadily climbed the grades since March, now finding herself in A3 after starting in A7. With two consecutive wins under her belt, she lacks early flash but possesses a strong burst of middle pace, making her a solid choice.
DE MAN SMASHER (Trap 2) makes his debut at Perry Barr tonight (20.07) after impressive two-bend trials. He's shown blistering speed in trials and should handle the step up to D3 well. With his sire, Grangeview Ten's speed, he's expected to handle the race hustle despite his lack of race experience.
Oakfront Gem (Trap 5) returned after a four-month break with a convincing win in his grade. If he avoids any bounce effect, he could challenge the puppy in Trap 2.
VANCOUVER PORT (Trap 1) drops down to A2 at Romford (21.11) after encountering trouble in recent races. With several A2 and A1 wins to his name, a quick start is crucial for him to contend.
Pure Provence (Trap 6), the sole wide runner, has shown decent form with a time of 24.16. If he reproduces that form, he could challenge the inside runners.
