Looked useful when winning a Wetherby bumper by 7l in March 2024; hurdles career off to a perfect start at Warwick (2m, good to soft) the following season, but absent for 18-plus months thereafter until reappearing at Ayr (4-1 favourite; tailed off) recently; now sits 2lb lower.

Point and dual bumper winner who was a shade of odds-on when leading late on in a big-field maiden at Warwick in November 2024 (good to soft; won on soft); has a long absence to overcome and a hefty weight for his handicap debut, but trainer has spoken well of him.

Point and dual bumper winner; disappointed when among the market principals for Grade 2 Aintree bumper in April but created very good impression when scoring by 7l at Wetherby (soft) two starts ago and looks a very good prospect for novice hurdles this season.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

Irish point winner whose only defeat in bumpers came behind Tripoli Flyer on the AW at Lingfield in January; it could be that that unique test didn't play to his strengths and he then looked useful on soft ground at Wetherby, beating one who had run well in a good Ascot bumper (finished just behind Electric Mason); has a bright future no matter what happens here.
