7/1
€50,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Slate House and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Touch Kick. Made frame both starts in points, runner-up last time (Feb 26). One to note for top Irish yard.

40/1
Point winner at second attempt who looked potentially useful when making perfect start in bumpers at Southwell in November. Matched rather than bettered that form twice since but should have a future over hurdles.

Horse silk

Offered something to work on starting out in a Newcastle bumper but went backwards at Exeter next time. Goes hurdling now after 7 months off/wind op.

12/1
Showed improved form to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers at Hereford (16.2f) in March and looks the type to make an above-average hurdler.

Showed some ability when fifth in a Huntingdon bumper on debut in January, fading straight. This is a tough starting point over hurdles, though.

Horse silk
4/1
Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat (stays 13f) who made an encouraging debut in this sphere when third of 19 in a Galway maiden (16.6f) in September, keeping on well. Likely to improve.

40/1
Fairly useful on the Flat for Mick Channon and definite encouragement to glean from his respective yard/hurdles debut third in a Newcastle novice (16.2f). Ran to a similar level at Warwick before shaping as if amiss at Huntingdon last time. Has had a breathing op since.

7/1
Fairly useful bumper winner who showed plenty to work on when runner-up both starts over hurdles last season. Has left Paul Nicholls but joined another leading yard and remains capable of better, especially now fitted with a hood.

10/11
Fortunate winner of sole outing in points but no fluke about taking success in Hereford bumper on Rules debut. Produced a smart performance when following up under a penalty at Haydock and has to rate an exciting recruit to hurdling.

Fair on Flat and of a similar merit over hurdles, confirming his return to form when second in 15-runner maiden at Down Royal (20f, good) 21 days ago. Has since left Richard John O'Brien.

Showed an aptitude for hurdling when runner-up in a pair of juveniles last winter but was well held in maidens final 2 starts and showed nothing back on the Flat at Ffos Las in September. Blinkers on for 1st time.

TWINJETS was hugely impressive when landing 2 bumpers back in the spring and is selected to carry on the good work now switching to obstacles. Hullnback also achieved a high level of form in bumpers and looks sure to make the grade over hurdles, while others to take seriously are Irish-raiders An Mhi and Fennor Cross in an interesting race.
