T: Sam Thomas

Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good) in November; found to have bled when well held next time and played up at the start (deemed a non-runner) at Exeter eight days ago; wore tongue-tie on those last three appearances and cheekpieces at Exeter, but has neither today; unexposed handicap debutant.

T: Sam Thomas

Bumper winner who went close in Cheltenham Grade 2 on hurdle debut before getting off the mark at Ascot (1m7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in November; found to have bled when well held at Doncaster since, which is a concern, but would have obvious claims if back to best with cheekpieces added.

T: Sam Thomas

Favourite for two of his three bumpers (good to soft or good), winning the first and on the latest occasion finishing third under a penalty at Chepstow where they didn't go much of a gallop; others in here have superior form but he's a likely improver over hurdles.

Rewarded strong favouritism in a Taunton bumper on his debut in November; only fifth in an Ascot bumper the following month but that was a Listed race and it was still a useful effort; strong claims back at this level.

Eighth foal; half-brother to five French winners including The Stomp (5.5f-1m Flat and useful 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase); 5-4 favourite for debut at Taunton (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago and got up by a length in the closing stages in that eight-runner race, looking capable of better.
