J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

3m point winner who has twice easily made all in novice hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft), with a 20l fourth of six in the Grade 1 Formby Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) in between; he's a leading form contender today for a trainer who won this in 2024.

T: Ben Pauling

Point winner who made all by 5l on hurdle debut over C&D (soft) last month; found the Grade 1 Formby Novices' Hurdle too much at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) last time but he's a leading candidate now back down in grade.

J: Kielan Woods

T: Ben Pauling

Point winner who made a winning start under rules in a novice hurdle at Wetherby (2m, soft) three weeks ago, making all by 5l having been backed into odds-on; takes a steep rise in grade but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie and his trainer continues to enjoy an excellent season.

Half-brother to Stage Star; bought for £82,000 after winning a soft-ground Irish point by 2l last December; the runner-up has made a bright start under rules; likely contender.
