Point-to-point bumper winner (2m, good to soft) who was second on rules bumper debut at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) in March and made all at Bangor (2m, soft) last month; makes hurdle debut in warm race and others have more substance to their form, but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie.

Made all to win a point bumper in February and similar tactics nearly paid off when second at Carlisle the following month; probably sets the standard and could prove hard to catch. |

Made all in a point-to-point bumper on debut at Alnwick (2m, good to soft) last month; the strength of that form is open to question but he did it easily and brings potential to this first rules start. |

Following a spell with Tony Martin she's back with a trainer who has enjoyed plenty of success here; might not be far away if reproducing her best form but she's 0-8 over hurdles and it will be no surprise if her limitations are exposed once more.

Dual bumper winner in France was runner-up in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at this meeting last year; hasn't reached that level since and was a beaten favourite twice; step up in trip might help. |

Changed hands for £110,000 after finishing second on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, yielding) in May 2022; has run just once since, and may have needed that outing in a Fontwell bumper (2m1f, good) last month when a well-beaten third; however, it's hard to be confident on the back of that.

Flat-bred 5yo who split two subsequent rules winners when second of ten on Irish point debut in May 2022 (yielding ground) and was bought for £110,000 soon afterwards; makes rules debut after a long absence but looks a very interesting recruit. |

Very useful form on the Flat (including on soft/good to soft) up to March 2022; has travelled from Ireland and is one to watch in the betting in a first-time tongue-tie, but following an absence he was soundly beaten in February on his two runs in this code and improvement is required.
