J: Kielan Woods

T: Ben Pauling

Point/bumper winner; left Oliver Sherwood's yard for £6,000 in May after a loss of form; favourite on debut for Ben Pauling in a 2m handicap chase at Lingfield (good to soft) but went off too hard and was pulled up; tongue-tie tried that day is joined by a hood, which could settle him down.

J: Kielan Woods

T: Ben Pauling

Point and bumper winner who showed promise on his hurdle debut in May 2021; a market check is advised on stable debut (for which he wears a first-time tongue-tie), having been bought out of Oliver Sherwood's yard for £6,000 in May, but it's a long time since he showed any worthwhile form.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Oliver Sherwood

Irish point/Doncaster bumper winner; initial promise over hurdles in 2021 but very lightly raced since and finished remote on handicap/chase debut at Lingfield in November (2m4f, good to soft); risky for now.
