€42,000 3-y-o, £45,000 5-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Dam (h87), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m). Runner-up both starts in points a year apart, latest in March. Worth a market check on hurdle debut.

Looked set to win when falling 2 out in sole point. Has shown clear ability in a bumper/maiden hurdle 11 months apart but is likely to be brought along steadily.

Placed in Irish points and finished runner-up in a pair of Southwell bumpers in the spring. Supported and showed an aptitude for hurdling when third at Bangor (16.7f) last month. Should improve.

Useful Flat performer who has been in excellent form lately, so is very much one to note now going hurdling.

Useful on Flat and left hurdling debut form behind when second of 15 in 2m maiden at Gowran 3 weeks ago, keeping on after every chance last. Open to further improvement in first-time tongue tie.

€72,000 3-y-o, Jeremy gelding with a decent pedigree but placed just once in 4 Irish points. Wears a hood.

Scorpion gelding. Dam (c98), 2½m chase winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jonanaud. Yard not associated with first-time-out winners, so looks best watched on debut.

Showed fair form when reaching the frame first 3 bumper outings. Below par at Warwick on final outing and faces a stiff task on hurdle debut.

Fairly useful bumper winner who made an encouraging enough start over hurdles when third at Limerick (2m) 12 days ago, travelling smoothly. Should do better.

Fair on Flat, successful twice this year, and easily best effort over hurdles when beaten only narrowly at Clonmel (16.7f) in September. Ran poorly at Downpatrick 2 weeks ago but can bounce back.

Useful on Flat and, having been acquired for 75,000 gns, shaped with abundant promise when fourth in the Adonis at Kempton (2m). Bled in Grade 1 at Aintree next time but retains plenty of potential.

GO DANTE looked a smart prospect when winning his sole bumper start in a good time at Wincanton in March, so he's very much of interest now going hurdling. John Locke has undergone wind surgery since contesting hot races on both his hurdle starts last season, so he retains potential, while Wild Shot is expected to bounce back from a poor run at Downpatrick a fortnight ago.
