Form & Verdict
1m3f Flat winner in blinkers who ran well when second of five on last Sunday's hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft); sets a good standard for the rest to aim at and he holds solid claims in first-time cheekpieces.

Clear second when back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May but a little beneath that form since and 2m4f shouldn't have been an issue last time; others are a bit more intriguing.

Clear second when back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May and didn't run badly when fifth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) two weeks ago; not out of this if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m3f.

Form & Verdict
Failed to progress on the Flat and was well beaten in midfield in the November Handicap (1m4f, heavy) on his stable debut three weeks ago; however, he achieved a useful RPR of 88 when mid-division at Goodwood in July on his final run for Richard Hughes and is entitled to respect on hurdle debut.

Form & Verdict
Three Flat wins since July (1m2f-1m4f, including on good to soft) and he posted an RPR of 77 when scoring at Wolverhampton latest; this progressive sort could play a leading role if taking to hurdles at the first attempt.

Returned to winning ways when dead-heating at Newbury (1m2f, good; acts on good to soft) and perhaps Epsom didn't suit next time, as 1m4f wasn't an issue; capable of bouncing back.

Runner-up in seller on the Flat at Redcar (1m, heavy) last month but he's a ten-race maiden and others here were superior in that code; there's also a doubt about his stamina for this game.

Beaten in a seller on his final Flat start but it's been a good start over hurdles and he held his own in a decent Listed event at Musselburgh (1m7f, good) 11 days ago; 1lb out of the weights for this but he'll be up another 9lb in future engagements; obvious claims.

Made it 0-10 on the Flat for the Johnston yard when down the field at Yarmouth last month; sold for 17,000gns six days later and gelded; however, he showed some fair form in middle-distance handicaps (peak RPR 75) and he may make a hurdler; not ruled out on stable debut.

4yo who remains a maiden after 18 starts and runs for the first time since June, having been bought out of Adrian Keatley's yard for 10,000gns; however, he's on a handy mark and the step back up in trip may well be a plus on stable debut; capable of being in the mix; watch the betting.
