OR: —
Two bumper runs last season and was narrowly beaten on debut before her clearcut win at Southwell (good to soft) in April; held in some regard and has plenty of hurdle winners in her pedigree so she needs a close look on this switch to jumps.

Comfortably won Southwell bumper in April and also impressed ridden clear to score by 5l on recent hurdling debut at Ayr (2mf, good to soft); can play a leading role if handling the slower ground here. |

5yo who ran twice here in February; didn't show much in a bumper on his debut but his fifth in a novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft; 200-1) last time was an encouraging effort behind a useful stablemate; open to progress on his return and he could be in the mix

OR: —
Placed in both bumpers in Ireland but his standout effort was a 4l third of 22 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding) on the second of his three runs; sets a clear standard on that form and he has strong claims back over hurdles on his return; last two runs were for Joseph O'Brien but he's rejoined Stuart Crawford.

12th May 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Showed definite promise on debut when second in a Leopardstown bumper in March 2022 and again on debut for this yard in a strong Punchestown maiden hurdle in November; a repeat of the latter form back in a bumper would make him very difficult to beat. |

Won a soft-ground Irish point in April and he ran a promising race in a Hexham bumper (5l fourth of ten) in June; now goes hurdling after another break and he's one to keep an eye on.

Showed some ability in bumpers and he's a half-brother to two hurdle winners but this looks a tough starting point in this sphere; best watched unless market is persuasive.

11st 1lb |
Kept on steadily for respectable fifth on recent hurdling debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft), where the ride she was given attracted the stewards' attention; open to improvement but will need to take a fairly big step forward to trouble the principals here. |

Runner-up at Aintree on bumper debut (2m1f, soft) last November but wasn't as good at Ayr next time and she took another backward step when switched to hurdling at Hexham (2m, soft) in April; has had wind surgery since but she has questions to answer after another break.

Bought for £46,000 after dead-heating in an Irish point last May and he showed promise with his frame efforts in bumpers (good/soft) this spring; returns after another absence but he should have a future over hurdles and is respected on his stable debut.

Dead-heated in an Irish point in 2022 and made the frame in two bumpers in the spring; made just a mildly encouraging stable/hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last month but that run might have brought him on. |

Half-brother to a fair 2m1f hurdle winner; well-backed into 9-2 for a novice at Carlisle (2m1f) last month but he never got involved before finishing a remote fifth of nine; may not have handled the heavy ground that day but he needs a transformation on his second start.
