Form & Verdict
Half-brother to very useful hurdler Filey Bay; bought for £55,000 after winning a pointers' bumper on rules debut at Aintree (good) last May, form that was recently well advertised over hurdles by the runner-up; makes stable/hurdle debut after a layoff but looks a good prospect.

In good form recently, winning a five-runner Stratford handicap in August (2m6f, good to firm) and in the frame on both starts since (second over 2m7f at Hexham last time); could go well but this might be on the short side for him now.

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Bumper winner who has progressed well over hurdles, winning two of his five starts and finishing runner-up in the other three; made a winning start to handicaps in good style at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last time despite still looking in need of the experience; a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up with more to come.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Jamie Snowden

Did not need to improve to justify skinny odds in Warwick maiden (2m3f, good) in May, his third start over hurdles, and was not discredited when second to useful rival at Cartmel (2m6f, good) last month; should have some progress to come in handicaps; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time.

Useful winner of four 1m2f handicaps on the Flat on soft/good to firm; not as good over hurdles so far, best run when third to two subsequent winners at Sedgefield last time in March (good); cheekpieces tried again (finished lame the previous occasion he wore them); player.

J: Richie McLernon

T: John & Sean Quinn

Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on hurdling debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in December; well beaten when back at Carlisle for a good race last month but positives can still be drawn from that performance, and he has each-way claims at least here.

Point and bumper winner who was beaten just a neck at 50-1 when wearing a first-time hood (retained) on his handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April; in the mix if reappearing in similarly good form.

Won Hexham bumper (good to soft) on rules debut last June and was the only one to give a highly promising rival any sort of race before last-flight fall on 2m1f course hurdle debut (soft) in December; nowhere near that level twice since (23l fifth to Las Canals at Sedgefield latterly) but could come into his own in handicaps; hooded for the first time now stepping up in trip; worth a look in the betting.

Belied 200-1 odds when respectable fifth on hurdle debut here (2m4f, good to soft) last month but did not achieve a great deal when well-held third of four over that trip a fortnight later; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added today; improvement required.
