J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner who made the frame in his first two runs over hurdles before a disappointing effort at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October, after which he underwent wind surgery; returned from a break to finish a solid third over C&D last month and, still unexposed, may have more to offer now switching to handicaps.

T: Donald McCain

Bumper winner; placed form over hurdles and he's had wind surgery since a poor run at Fakenham in October; has to be considered in this modest a race.

Placed on both hurdling starts, more recently when second of five at Warwick (2m, good) this month; ought to give another good account here but his form isn't anything to get too excited about.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Easy winner of a Market Rasen bumper (2m, good) in April but that was a three-runner race; made an encouraging start over hurdles when third at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month but that form is not strong and he needs a major step forward here.

Easily beat short-odds favourite in three-runner bumper for Don Cantillon in April; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth and he was safely held at Galway festival for new stable last month; nevertheless, he has possibilities in this run-of-the-mill maiden on his hurdling debut.
