11st 10lb |
Won a soft-ground bumper on rules debut in 2022 and returned from absence to make winning stable/hurdle debut over C&D (heavy) on New Year's Day; encounters faster ground today but that form has worked out well (runner-up won last month's EBF Final); leading contender. |

Bought for £240,000 after winning an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) on his debut in March 2022; short-priced favourite for bumpers in autumn 2022 when second at Bangor and winning on soft at Newcastle, for Michael Scudamore; had wind surgery in September 2023; looks sure to stay and may well prove potent on this hurdling debut for new trainer. |

11st 10lb |
Won by 13l on last season's bumper debut and built upon promising hurdling debut when scoring at Warwick (2m3f, soft) in January; didn't really fire when last of four in subsequent Huntingdon Listed race but remains a good prospect. |

Dual bumper winner on good ground last year and began hurdling career with two promising runs, latterly when running-on third in strong race at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month; good chance. |

Dual bumper winner on good ground last year and made very encouraging hurdle debut when fourth of 11 at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in January; can win races in this sphere soon but has been set a tough task today. |

Bought for £250,000 after last year's impressive Irish point debut and came good over hurdles at third attempt, making all for clearcut success in Doncaster maiden (2m3f, soft) in February; needs to progress again but has considerable potential. |

11st 9lb |
£250,000 buy after winning on debut in an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) last February; lots of promise when second of five in novice hurdle at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November, but well below that form when front-running over that same C&D (good to soft) at Christmas, making mistakes at the last two flights; the initial Ascot form sets a clear standard in this field. |

Managed only fifth when warm favourite for Huntingdon bumper in February but improved to win comfortably by over 7l there (2m4f, soft) on last month's hurdling debut; no surprise if he features here. |

Bumper winner who was placed in two maiden hurdles (C&D second occasion) at the end of 2022 and made light of a long absence when edging out a subsequent winner at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) six weeks ago; could be more to come for a stable among the winners this month. |
