Form & Verdict
Point and dual bumper winner; found one too good when warm favourite for last month's hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) but the front pair pulled well clear of the others and he ought to be suited by today's longer trip; major player.

Just nabbed on his chase debut (good) in October but stayed on strongly to pick up Newbury Grade 2 (also 2m4f, good to soft; Regent's Stroll third, Crest Of Fortune fourth) the following month; outpaced throughout but never stopped trying when third in Kempton Grade 1 (3m, good; Salver fourth, Crest Of Fortune behind) over Christmas and that was also the case until he fell at the last when 6l down in the Brown Advisory (3m1f, good to soft; Salver third) last month; solid claims.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Fifth in last year's Albert Bartlett here and very smart form over fences, winning Grade 2 at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in November; easy winner of novice at Ayr (3m, soft) 41 days ago and looks the best of the British hopes, although he may find one or two too good unless he improves again.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two soft-ground bumpers last season (one here) and made quite promising hurdle debut when keeping-on fourth behind a recent Grade 2 winner at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in May; open to improvement over new trip here; could have a say.

Lightly raced 7yo whose form has substance and it was a good handicap at Hereford in which he was third in December; went off favourite in a big field at Ascot in February but never gave his running; could be interesting back from a break.

Lightly raced 7yo whose form has substance; solid third, behind subsequent scorers, at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in sole run this term; particularly unexposed at this trip and looks interesting off a low weight.

Point winner who built upon his promising rules debut when winning good-ground bumper at Southwell last month; quickly moves up in trip for this hurdling debut and could have a lot more to offer; respected.

Relatively unexposed, but mainly modest efforts, including on stable debut at Ayr last time (2m7f, good to soft); may do better.

A whiff of ability before he flopped badly in his two handicaps (2m4f); has since changed hands and left the Twiston-Davies yard; tongue tied first time for this chase debut after four months off.

Well beaten in two bumpers for this stable in March 2024 and also struggled on both hurdling starts for Steph Cameron last autumn; now back in the Twiston-Davies yard; huge improvement needed.
