Beaten 26l on hurdles debut at Warwick (2m, good; 25-1) four weeks ago; should do better once he gets a handicap mark.

Staying chasers in the family and he was outpaced before sticking on for third in good-ground bumper at Uttoxeter last May; didn't build on that when well held in course bumper (good to soft) in December; hurdles debut.

J: Paddy Hanlon

Irish raider who launched hurdling career with two promising runs in cheekpieces last month, latterly when close fourth of ten at Cartmel (2m6f, good); that form already puts him on the premises here, and he can improve if he cuts out the jumping errors.

Won a Ludlow bumper; 0-3 over hurdles but ran better with a tongue-tie added when a 15l third at Bangor (2m3f, good); probably needs to step up again and by some way to beat the best of these.

Useful Flat racer who was placed in Class 3 AW handicap (2m; RPR 89) on latest outing last summer; changed hands for 13,000gns in the autumn; has form on good and soft ground; will be dangerous at this level if he takes adequately to hurdling at the first attempt.

Displayed promise when making the frame in two maiden hurdles (2m, good/good to firm) this spring but he refused to race on the Flat in between and needs to improve to overcome top weight on this handicap hurdle debut.

Has regressed on the Flat since winning small-field Bath handicap for another stable a year ago; made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when keeping on for modest third at Plumpton (2m, good) last month but needs to build on that performance here and has since refused to race on the Flat.
