Form & Verdict
The step up to 2m did the trick when landing a modest Newcastle handicap ten days ago (RPR 72); no stamina worries for hurdling on that basis and one of the likelier candidates.

Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid.

Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again.

3 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
Similar level of form in four Flat attempts, at up to 1m3f+ (best RPR 71); has made the running in the latest pair but faded both times so possible that wind surgery might have a beneficial effect; dam won over hurdles and yard in fine form so more appeal than most.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Donald McCain

Showed some promise in maiden/novice events on the Flat and she's reached the frame in her four starts over hurdles, including when second over C&D (soft) on penultimate run; this is more realistic on handicap debut and she's an interesting contender for yard that won this last year.

0-3 over hurdles and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful, but she's run with credit in this hood the last twice (2m1f/1m7f, good/soft) and sets the standard on hurdle form; can give another good account.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in seven Irish Flat efforts, at up to 1m2f (peak RPR 63); not beaten far in a claimer last month, on final start for Andrew Oliver; not as good as some of these on the Flat but not dismissed.
