Irish point winner yet to get off the mark under rules; ran his best race when third over C&D in March; below that form when a warm favourite in a Ffos Las maiden last month but may warrant another chance.

SR 99 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Bumper winner who landed his second race over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; shapes as though he'll be suited by this step up in distance; respected.

SR 111 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Has had three wins over hurdles but yet to convince on his suitability for this distance, latest when seventh of eight finishers at Haydock (2m5f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained).

SR 109 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Won three races in 2024; inconsistent since but ran well when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) on Boxing Day; two poor runs since but has undergone wind surgery and a first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces; interesting if the market speaks favourably.

SR 106 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Showed his first worthwhile form when scoring over C&D at 20-1 in a three-runner contest in March; showed that to be no fluke when third of five at Perth (2m4f, good) on his handicap debut last month and not out of this.

SR 111 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
