Form & Verdict
Won good-ground Irish point last spring and ran to fair level when placed on hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) in December; yet to build on that performance but may not have handled soft ground on last two appearances and has since been given a wind op; big player if back on song.

Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; had a major blip over C&D next time but he bounced back with a respectable effort on good ground at Hereford (lost his left-hind shoe) last month; still has potential as a chaser and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added.

Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better over C&D (good to soft) in December; that form has taken a few knocks, including when this one pulled up at Wincanton in January, although Warren Greatrex did report that the 6yo was unsuited by the soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Irish raider who has made the frame on both hurdling starts, more recently when clear third behind Willie Mullins-trained compatriot at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in February; that form looks pretty solid and she has strong claims here.

A sibling to two useful jumpers but was towards rear throughout when 22-1 for bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in December; considered only if attacting good market support before this hurdling debut.

Eight-race maiden whose hurdles form has dipped since a consistent spell; however, this combination of a switch to fences and first-time headgear may have a positive effect; bred to make a chaser.
