Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: I A Duncan| OR: 121

4/1

Fair bumper performer who was progressing nicely over hurdles prior to a poor run at Carlisle when last seen in March. May bounce back on this return to action.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR: 121

11/4

Fairly useful winner at 23f in chases and shown plenty switched to hurdles this season, not disgraced in a competitive handicap at Navan (22f) last time. Good claims.

Ugo Du Misselot²⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson

10/1

Made little impact in bumpers but offered something to work on sent hurdling when fourth in a 2m maiden at Wexford in March. Up in trip on first run for yard after leaving T. E. Hyde.
