J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Dual Irish point winner who was in good form in the spring before changing hands for £20,000; not seen under rules since disappointing chase debut over 2m last summer but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles last year) are refitted.

Best run over hurdles when second in a maiden over 2m here last October; hasn't matched that form since and was poor in cheekpieces at Kilbeggan last time; needs best on chasing debut.

J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Out of a half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah; made quite promising debut when third of five in good-ground Market Rasen bumper in June but suffered a heavy defeat last month (stopped quickly) and is probably best watched on this hurdling debut; hooded for first time.

First foal; dam unplaced on the Flat but half-sister to high-class Irish jumper Sharjah and smart French Flat-racer Sahawar; kept on for very respectable third behind two previous winners at Market Rasen (good) last month; might be the answer.

2-8 on Flat for the Gosdens, gelded before showing useful form twice (once on Tapeta) staying on over 1m6f last September/October; sold for 200,000gns in October into the premier jumps yard and made his hurdle debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, showing his jumping inexperience however and pulled up at 150-1; this should be much more his cup of tea.

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance.

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find.
