Won a bumper for Henry Daly and doubled his tally over C&D in July when strong late on in first-time cheekpieces; went up 7lb but only a 5yo with low mileage on the clock; respected.

Fair Flat racer who made quite promising stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, good) in November; dropped out of contention tamely at Southwell (2m, good to soft) later that month but was given a wind op afterwards and is back on better ground here; could have a say.

2-11 on the Flat for Ed Walker, the latter win gained in April (1m6f, good to firm; RPR 77); ground slower than good would be new to him but he can be competitive here if he takes well to hurdling at the first attempt.

A fairly useful ex-French bumper winner; got off the mark for current yard in maiden over C&D in June and not discredited when fifth on her handicap debut in steadily-run contest over C&D last time; she could still do better granted a likely stiffer test of stamina here.

Lightly raced since winning slow-ground French bumper on debut in November 2024 but was second on hurdle debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) in March and might not have been suited by the idiosyncratic track when below that form at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; drops back in trip with tongue-tie added here; has a fighting chance.

Formerly trained in Ireland, he made an instant impact when landing a maiden hurdle here (2m, good to firm) last July; ran three times on the Flat in the autumn without success; first run since when sixth of seven at Worcester (2m, good; 25-1) last month and looks to need to come down the weights.
