11st 3lb

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; unable to hit the same heights over fences last season, following a near-two-year absence, but he had wind surgery (his third) in August and reappeared with a win at Exeter (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago when he travelled much the best before hanging on by half a length; up 6lb but could have more to offer.

11st 9lb

J: Fergus Gillard

T: David Pipe

Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; missed all of last season but made encouraging chase/handicap debut in December (2m3f) and didn't run badly before looking a non-stayer over 3m last month; drops back in trip here and is 5lb lower now; dangerous to ignore.

J: Fergus Gillard

T: David Pipe

Lightly raced 8yo; ran well in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) in early 2021; missed last season and seemed to need his sole run this term (chase debut); remains open to more improvement.

J: Fergus Gillard

T: David Pipe

Unexposed 7yo who was very close third in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) in January 2021; today's chase/handicap debut comes after a 685-day absence; had wind surgery during the summer; market support will bring him into the equation.
