11st 4lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Consistent for previous yard but seems quirky and hung left en route to second-place finishes over 2m3f/2m5f the last twice; that said, could get his act together on debut for Dan Skelton and it's interesting that Harry Skelton prefers him over the higher-rated Loriko.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Fergal O’Brien

Point and bumper runner-up who has posted a run of solid efforts in a novice and two maidens, latterly jumping better but hanging badly when second at Catterick (about 2m3f, good) in late December; tongue-tie goes on and he's still a leading contender.

Runner-up in an Irish point in March (3m, soft); subsequently second in a bumper at Stratford (2m, good) and third on both starts over hurdles (2m1f/2m4f, good to soft); a possible.

J: Jack Hogan

T: Fergal O’Brien

Runner-up in a point (3m, soft) and a bumper (2m, good) before recent third of six on hurdle debut at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft); he may benefit from the drop back in trip for the time being and might not be far away.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Fergal O’Brien

Point runner-up (3m, soft) who changed hands for £50,000 prior to finishing second on last month's bumper debut at Stratford (2m, good); capable of winning races but this could be a tough task on hurdle debut.
