Had just two rivals to beat on recent rules debut at Ayr (2m4f, good) but this point winner (3m, soft to heavy) did it in fine style and he's a likeable prospect; major player under a penalty.

Three Irish point wins this winter and left last season's efforts under rules behind when 9l second in a C&D novice (heavy) 13 days ago; he'll likely need to step up on that form if he's to seriously threaten some of the previous hurdle winners in this line-up.

Point winner who was a fair fourth for Gordon Elliott in a maiden hunter chase at Clonmel in January; however, he was well beaten over C&D on his recent hurdle and stable debut and others make greater appeal.

Fourth in a hunter chase on his final run for Gordon Elliott; had two visits to Carlisle for this yard, running better the second time when beaten 12l into third in a five-runner novice (2m3f, heavy); still lightly raced and could improve for going into handicaps.

Unexposed 6yo who was placed on recent handicap debut at Perth (3m, good to soft); might well have gone close there had she not persistently hung left in the home straight; should cope with today's drop back in trip and may have a bigger run in her on this left-handed track.
