J: Jonathan Burke

T: Toby Bulgin

Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all five hurdling starts, most recently when third of 13 (just behind Lady Kara) in Stratford maiden (2m, good) a fortnight ago; her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she's a contender if her stamina holds out over this new trip.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Toby Bulgin

Good-ground bumper winner who has made the frame on all four hurdling starts; managed only fourth of six on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December but the forecast faster ground here ought to suit better; shortlisted.

J: Robert Dunne

T: Toby Bulgin

Bumper winner who has been placed in all three starts over hurdles, probably running into a couple of nice types when third of five at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month; a player on handicap debut.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Toby Bulgin

Bumper winner who has produced a couple of promising placed efforts since switched to hurdles, keeping on well from off the pace last time at Worcester (2m, good); another who may improve for the step up in distance, though she does need to settle better; tongue-tie now added.

Struggled in bumpers after her successful debut but got back on track when second to an improving Skelton horse on hurdling debut at Warwick (2m, good); probably has more on her plate here.
