Won four on the trot in July-October 2024 at about 2m4f, culminating in a Grade 2 novice event; long absence before three runs this year, easily best of those last time and that display gave some encouragement for this longer trip, but jumping was sketchy and cheekpieces are now applied.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) last December and changed hands for £80,000 in January; needs more than when fourth of 15 in Hexham bumper (2m, soft) last month but he's open to improvement and trainer won this last year; a tongue-tie goes on; watch the betting.

J: Finn Lambert

Placed twice in December for Anthony Charlton; returns from an 11-week layoff and makes debut for new stable (remains with same owner); has proved largely consistent but slow ground would be a negative, having registered his wins on good/good to firm.

J: Bradley Harris

His hurdle win came in a match (2m3f, good to firm) and he carries a 6lb penalty against some interesting rivals; however, he was second behind an exciting winner at Hereford (2m3f, good) last time and can give another good account if the ground suits (ran well in a point on yielding to soft).

Won Stratford bumper in the spring and easily followed up in C&D match race on hurdling debut in October; beaten only about 11l when last of seven finishers in Cheltenham Grade 2 (2m, good) later that month and needs to be taken very seriously in these much calmer waters.

Form & Verdict
11-8 favourite, won on debut in five-runner bumper at Perth (2m, good) last June; absent since and this is much hotter, while Daryl Jacob now rides connections' Park Annonciade; however, he's a brother to a French Grade 1 hurdle winner and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie.

Form & Verdict
Won British maiden point (2m4f, good to soft) on debut in February and subsequently bought for £100,000; made rules debut at Ludlow last month (2m, good to soft; favourite), when badly hampered with a circuit to go then running out on the home turn having proved unsteerable; comes with risks attached but the first-time hood could help and he retains potential.

Won in the autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f, good/good to soft; including here) then failed to stay 4m here in the Borders National; bounced back with short-head defeat at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and there can be optimism he'll be fine at this shorter distance; major player.

Failed to settle and reportedly made a respiratory noise at Kelso (4m, soft) in December, when he ran well for a very long way before weakening (pulled up); 2-2 over fences previously (2m7f, good/good to soft) and there could still be mileage in his mark now back down in trip.

Form & Verdict
Placed late last year in his two Irish maiden points (3m, soft/yielding to soft); closely related to top-class hurdler Hurricane Fly and has joined a leading yard for rules career; could have a big say on bumper debut.

6yo whose form has been patchy in his light career but he won at 4-1 on his handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in August, which was his second run for Olly Murphy (July's stable debut came after a long absence); unexposed and an 8lb rise may not stop him today.

Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue.
