Won at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in February on second bumper start and followed up in a competitive mares' bumper at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April; faces no easy task against males on this hurdle debut but she's a highly likeable prospect who could play a leading role.

Represents in-form yard and showed promise in all three bumpers earlier this year (soft-good), going close at Ludlow when last seen; however, others have stronger bumper form so improvement is needed on hurdle debut.

Front-runner who bids to complete a Fakenham hat-trick after two wide-margin wins in two-finisher contests this year (3m5f, soft/3m, good to soft); the value of his form is tricky to evaluate and today's faster ground may not be ideal but, nevertheless, another bold bid seems likely.

Form & Verdict
Won in good style on debut in Wincanton bumper (1m7f, good to soft) last December and Listed runner-up at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; leading claims if transferring that promise to hurdles at the first attempt, and his up-and-coming trainer is among the winners.

Listed bumper runner-up who failed to win over hurdles (0-4) but went in at the first try over fences at Wincanton in December (2m4f, soft), when well on top late on to collect by 6l (5lb lower); since then he'll pulled up and finished 13l behind the winner when only three completed at Doncaster (2m3f, good); he's not crying out to be backed after those efforts but there's no depth to this.

Listed bumper runner-up who showed improved form to win by 6l on his chase and handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in December; flopped at Hereford (2m5f, soft) subsequently but perhaps paid the price for chasing a strong pace and he could bounce back with a bold show.
