10st 9lb |
Listed runner-up on the Flat in France (very soft) and pretty useful switched to hurdles by new connections this year; made all for 18l novice win on penultimate start, followed by third of nine off this mark on handicap hurdle debut at Ascot (again about 2m on good; both under Luke Scott) so he is heading the right way. |

Listed runner-up on the Flat in France (very soft) and he's two out of five in novice hurdles following this month's easy, all-the-way win at Hereford (2m, good); goes handicapping in a warm race but he has potential off his opening mark and is not ruled out. |

Took record to 3-5 (including a soft-ground win) when landing big-field Cheltenham handicap (2m, good) in November and good second there (2m1f, good to soft) last month, when the winner slipped the field; this unexposed 5yo could continue to improve and he's on the shortlist. |

2-3 over hurdles for Ben Pauling last season; looked poised to challenge before penultimate-flight fall on reappearance and made amends in a 15-runner handicap here (2m, good; Cavern Club second) in November; up 8lb but that strong late bid from off the pace leaves the possibility of further improvement. |

Final start in a highly progressive juvenile campaign saw him short-headed in Grade 1 at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft); that was in April 2023 and he's since left Gary Moore (same owner) but he needs a close look, for same connections as Willmount so their market strength should be informative. |

Runner-up on first four hurdle starts before winning a maiden at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in March and two 2m1f handicaps at Carlisle (good to soft/soft) recently; impressive 12 days ago and while this is a much stiffer task, including under a 7lb penalty, this progressive sort needs respect. |

Quite useful form on the Flat; has run just four times over hurdles, winning on first attempt and best form when second of 15 to Wreckless Eric in handicap here (2m, good) on latest; usually wore cheekpieces on Flat and they were refitted on that latest outing; up 5lb but still has potential. |

Both her hurdling wins were in spring 2023; heavy ground was probably against her when 100-1 in the County Hurdle here this March and career-best efforts followed on the much better ground last May/June; back to some form 12 days ago but needs peak form to take this. |

Talented in bumpers and won his first three starts over hurdles, culminating in a most impressive display from the front in Grade 2 novice here (2m, good) in October; hammered in another Grade 2 here four weeks ago but that was at the hands of a most exciting prospect and the 2m5f seemed to stretch him; those were small-field races, whereas this is a competitive race for handicap debut but he's back in trip and a useful novice. |

Has run well a few times since winning twice at the start of 2022, albeit his latest performance at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) last month wasn't one of them; still 3lb higher than when last successful and others are preferred. |

Going well when taking a fall three out at Cheltenham (2m1f) two weeks ago on first start since folding tamely and pulled up in last season's Challow (unbeaten previously); impressive in his only completed start over hurdles and may yet confirm that promise; not written off. |

Absent since the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (second favourite) last December, when he pulled hard and was eventually pulled up (lost a shoe); 4-4 prior to that, notably with an easy hurdle debut win at Newbury (2m, good to soft; made most) last November and his trainer still harbours high hopes for him; same owners also run Bo Zenith, so the market should give big clues. |
