J: Liam Harrison

T: Robbie Llewellyn

Second in a point before readily made all in good-ground Perth bumper for an Irish stable last spring; made underwhelming start to hurdling career for new stable last season, with best of three runs his well-held second at Catterick (1m7f, good) in January, but switches to fences for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement.

J: Liam Harrison

T: Robbie Llewellyn

Easy winner of a five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) last spring and later recruited for 60,000euros; fell when prominent in the market on hurdle/stable debut at Huntingdon in November and was well held in second when odds-on at Catterick last time; still early days in this sphere but he needs major improvement with equipment added after a break.

J: Charlie Price

Built upon promising point debut when readily winning five-runner Perth bumper (good ground) for Irish stable in May, after which he changed hands for 60,000euros; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but, nevertheless, he enters calculations on this hurdling debut.

Daughter of Fascinating Rock who built on a promising debut second for Fergal O'Brien last May when cosily landing four-runner bumper over C&D 22 days ago; she looks to have more to offer and holds leading claims.

13l third of five in sole bumper and soundly beaten on all three hurdle starts (2m/2m5f); however, this half-sister to classy stayer Yala Enki could relish this step up in trip on handicap debut, for which she wears a first-time tongue-tie; interesting, especially if strong in the betting.
