Comment: Made the frame four times over hurdles for Willie Mullins in Ireland and ran best race for current stable when fifth in C&D (good) handicap last month; effective on slow ground too and has a big role to play on this return to novice company.

Comment: Belatedly off the mark over hurdles at Hexham (2m, good) last month and will also be suited by the much stiffer test of stamina here, but raced rather lazily when well-held second behind Dickens at Hexham last Sunday.

Comment: Won over fences at Stratford (2m1f, good) for Jamie Snowden last spring, but his form nosedived last summer and he was tailed off when reappearing for new stable here last month; reverts to hurdling with cheekpieces refitted; needs to turn over a new leaf.

Comment: Looked a shade unlucky at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month, after a layoff, but gained quick compensation at Fakenham (2m4f, good), coming from off the pace to score by 14l; this track should also suit but his experience on ground slower than good is very limited.

Comment: Absent since well beaten in major Sandown handicap at end of 2023-24 season but has very good 7-15 strike-rate over fences and resumes on a tempting mark; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground but has won on soft; market may guide.
