Won an Irish bumper by 19l and fetched £100,000 at the sales; made a promising start over hurdles when a close second of 12 at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago, losing his footing on the turn before three out but sticking to his task; has plenty of potential and could go one better.

3-5 as a novice hurdler last season; absent since encouraging third of seven on reappearance outing at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November but could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip.

Runner-up in an Irish point and has shaped nicely on his two goes in bumpers, readily going clear at Hexham on latest five weeks ago (all three of those runs on soft/heavy ground); interesting hurdling debutant.

Hexham bumper winner for Stuart Coltherd; sets the benchmark, runner-up at Wetherby and Kelso (both 2m) in late 2024; marginally out of depth in The French Furze here (Class 2; 2m6f) in November; returns to a more appropriate level and is tongue-tied on first start for Sam England.

Bumper form reads well and so too his seconds over hurdles, with both his conquerors progressing to bigger things (including a Grade 2 success); this longer trip won't be an issue and the only real concern is that he's been absent since December; effective on soft and good ground.

Five-time Flat winner who went close in the Chester Cup in May; pleasing start over hurdles when second of seven at Aintree (2m4f, good) three weeks ago, the first three pulling clear; not certain to be suited by today's drop in distance but he's well up to winning a race or two in this sphere.

Useful Flat stayer who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts; left behind by wide-margin winner when second here (2m6f, soft) last month but that was still a good effort and he's a contender over this shorter trip.

Useful Flat performer and was running okay (beaten 5l in the Chester Cup) until below par last time with a visor back on (now discarded); two respectable efforts over hurdles last year, notably when second in an Aintree maiden; every chance; has no clear ground preferences.

Often ridden by Zak Wheatley; slow starts have been interfering with what used to be a front-running role; best known for exploits at Chester, admittedly last winning any race in July 2023; ran creditably off this mark in good handicaps both starts this term, sixth in the Chester Cup last time, but he was third in this race last year and may come up a bit short once again.

Form & Verdict
Quite impressive when winning bumper at Market Rasen (good) in July and he had an excuse (stumbled over 3f out) when only fourth of seven at Ludlow next time; this is quite a warm race in which to be making his debut over hurdles, but he's bred for jumping and must be considered.

Fairly useful on the Flat in France (winner over 1m3f on very soft ground); strong in the market and made much of the running when second of nine at Exeter (2m, good; 4-1) on hurdling debut, pulling clear with the winner; should improve and commands major respect.

All three hurdle wins have been on good ground so drying conditions are a positive, and she has had to deal with soft surfaces the last twice; however, this is by some way the strongest hurdle race she's contested to date.

Made short work of opposition at Warwick (2m novice, good; 4-11) in September but has turned in two stinkers - ran freely at Kempton, always behind at Ludlow - since after an absence; handicap mark is easing; drying ground is a positive.
