Only 1-10 over hurdles, the win coming over 2m5f at Newton Abbot in October (good to soft; 7lb lower); two further good runs afterwards before finishing tailed off the last time; a record of 7-8 in points bodes well for this switch to fences.

T: Kayley Woollacott

Multiple point winner who scored at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) on rules return in October and was placed on both subsequent outings (2m5f/3m); this drop back in trip may not be ideal but he ought to go well again.

J: Brendan Powell

T: Kayley Woollacott

Won seven point-to-points in a row before returning to hurdles with a handicap win by short head at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October; good fourth of 18 at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) since, never nearer and giving encouragement for 3m; 4lb out of the handicap but considered each-way.

J: Tiernan Power Roche

T: Kayley Woollacott

Won seven point-to-points in a row (including on soft ground) before returning to hurdles with a handicap win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; had just a short head to spare last time and he's up 4lb in a hotter race today, but he might have more left in the tank.

Not seen under rules since pulled up in 3m Wexford handicap hurdle in May 2024 but won seven consecutive points from December to May and it will be interesting to see how he fares here.
