Very useful handicap hurdler a few years ago; lightly raced in the meantime but got his act together over fences three months ago, winning readily by 10l over C&D (good), and ought to be better suited by today's forecast slower ground; major player.

Very lightly raced since winning over hurdles at 2021 Aintree festival but seemed to be getting his act together over fences when third at Bangor (3m, good to soft) last month, and may yet make up for lost time. |

Irish point winner who quickly developed into a fairly useful novice hurdler last season; absent since her second at Ayr (3m, soft) in April but connections are evidently keen to switch her to fences; respected.

10st 12lb |
Pulled up when upped to 2m7f on handicap debut at Ascot (good to soft) in February; however, there seemed more amiss that day than just a possible lack of stamina and she's since made it 2-5 over hurdles with a novice win at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy); won a point over 3m and retains potential. |

Has not really delivered on the promise he showed when winning a Cheltenham maiden hurdle for Nigel Twiston-Davies in January 2023 and was 0-5 over fences last season; however, today's race represents an ease in grade and it will be interesting to see what Christian Williams can do with him.

He has to improve markedly upon his last three performances (3m/3m1f, soft/heavy) to make an impact today; however, before those he stayed on well for third of four on his chase debut in a hot novice at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) and today's expected return to better ground could help him tap back into that promise; on an attractive mark on the chase debut form. |

12th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Has course form over hurdles and was far from disgraced in the Albert Bartlett here (3m, soft) last March; chasing type who made a useful start over fences when third of four over 3m here (good to soft) in October and although he hasn't gone on from that in two runs since, and his handicap debut was disappointing in December, the early form puts him in the picture; fitting a tongue-tie could also help on return from a break. |

Five-time hurdle winner who made the frame in all three chases, most recently when third in Durham National at Sedgefield (3m5f, soft) last October; has fitness to prove here, though, and is not favoured by the weights.

Lost out only by a nose in quite valuable handicap hurdle at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy; also suited by good ground) in July but was no match for the easy winner when second on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (3m, good) and needs to build on that performance. |

Very useful handicap hurdler with good strike-rate (7-17) but, following a long absence, made rather disappointing chase debut when remote second in three-runner race at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; today's slower ground ought to suit him better but, even so, he needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing.

Added to his solid record when sixth of 23 to Good Time Jonny in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, soft), shaping a bit better than the bare result after getting messed about a bit approaching the last and also hitting the flight; fresh for this stage of the season and likely to give a good account. |
