4/1
Well backed and took a big step forward with victory in extended 2m Hereford novice hurdle at the start of last month. Creditable third under penalty at Uttoxeter and fancied to be in the mix again.

9/2
Showed ability in bumpers and off the mark in good style on second hurdles start in a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) last month. Very much the type to progress further.

Presenting gelding who finished midfield sole start in bumpers. Some promise on return/hurdles bow at Chepstow but not in anything like the same form at Exeter since. May do better in handicaps.

4/6
£125,000 buy after finishing second in 2 Irish points last autumn. 5/1, looked potentially smart when seeing off 11 rivals on Kempton bumper debut in February. Likely a major player now hurdling.

Some promise first 2 starts in bumpers and off the mark in good style under Jamie Codd at Ballinrobe (16.8f) in summer 2019. Has since switched yards and market best guide now hurdling.

7/1
In need of experience in bumpers but more like it over hurdles, fourth in a C&D novice last month, his effort flattening out late on. Remains with potential for leading connections.

100/1
Smart performer on Flat in France for A. Fabre. Finished well held in Group 2 when last seen in 2019 and, having been gelded acquired for 15,000 gns by new yard. Market should guide.
|
Timeform
Good second in 4-runner Chepstow bumper on debut in October but he could only run to a poor level in a Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) since. Needs to step up to figure.

200/1
Fair, three-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat. Possible his hurdles debut effort was needed at Chepstow (2m) recently and he's probably one for handicaps later on.

200/1
Modest maiden on Flat (stays 7f) for Richard Hannon. Stamina has to be a concern now hurdling but he represents a yard who do well with their recruits, so worth a precautionary market check.

Out of a fairly useful hurdler and glimmers of promise in a bumper/maiden hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) 8 months apart. Open to improvement for good yard.

Fair form on second of 3 outings in bumpers last season but strictly below that level in a pair of hurdle tries in recent weeks. She's another who may do better when tackling handicaps.

Yeats filly out of a half-sister to yard's top-class staying chaser Long Run. Signs of ability in pair of bumpers, latterly when fifth of 11 at Ludlow (15.7f) in January (modest form). Hurdles debut.

Showed just modest form in bumpers and she was ultimately well held in a mares' novice hurdle at Newbury recently. One for later on.

BOOTHILL looked potentially smart when making a winning bumper debut at Kempton in February and he's fancied to go close now his sights are set on tackling timber for the first time. Getaway Luv scored in good style at Huntingdon last month and is feared under a penalty. Across The Line and Duc de Bourbon complete the shortlist.
