Won a bumper here last April (2m, good); best run over hurdles when second to a hat-trick scorer at Catterick in January (2m3f, soft); pulled up last time (never travelled); could bounce back.

Irish point winner yet to get off the mark under rules; ran his best race when third over C&D in March; below that form when a warm favourite in a Ffos Las maiden last month but may warrant another chance.

Irish point winner who was far too good for Centurion's Sister when winning Musselburgh bumper (good to soft) on rules debut in March; rather disappointing when well-held third at Kelso (good) the following month but was given a wind op during the summer and remains a good hurdling prospect; tongue-tie added.

Not beaten that far when sixth of eight on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) but raced too freely (not for the first time) and was well beaten when upped to 3m at Perth three weeks later; drops back to 2m here; others look safer.
