Form & Verdict
Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact.

Record of 2-5 over hurdles and he was runner-up behind subsequent Supreme winner Old Park Star at Kempton (2m, good) in November; finished a well-held fourth of 15 at Newbury in February but that was a major handicap and not many got involved in the testing conditions; sets a clear standard back in much calmer waters and his last win was over C&D; strong contender.

Won here in a bumper and maiden hurdle; added to his tally when 2-5 favourite in novice at Ludlow last December, but no match for the winner back there in the spring; unexposed as a handicapper, but this looks a tough reintroduction to competition.

Unexposed novice hurdler who posted a good effort behind the Supreme favourite on penultimate start; comfortably justified favouritism at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) latest, taking overall record to 4-7; this handicap debutant could be well treated and his stable has landed this race three times; interesting.

Form & Verdict
The last four of his six runs have been at Ludlow and he won a bumper in October and a maiden hurdle (2m, good) the following month; fell three out on his return from a break three weeks ago but he was travelling well enough in a prominent position at the time; this looks a tougher assignment but he still has potential and is respected for in-form yard.

Yet to add to his 2m Ludlow maiden hurdle win but has run with credit since, most recently on handicap debut at Market Rasen when staying on over 2m4f after racing wide; likely to be involved off an unchanged mark if stamina holds up over this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie.

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.

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.

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.
