11st 2lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Faye Bramley

Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender.

11st 7lb

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Faye Bramley

Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented.

11st 0lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Faye Bramley

Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand.

J: James Bowen

T: Faye Bramley

0-8 on the Flat for Jessica Harrington but he has some useful form in that sphere including when runner-up in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) in August; could have a good future at this new discipline and he needs a close look on stable debut.

Winston Junior

8st 11lb

J: Keithen Kennedy

T: Mrs John Harrington

Has run well to finish second in handicaps on his last three starts (1m5f/1m4f, good-good to soft), most recently at Chepstow behind one who was completing a hat-trick; now 0-7 and others are more strikingly progressive, but this admirable sort can give another good account; each-way chance.
