No better than modest form when placed on the second of 2 outings in bumpers last month. Others preferred now hurdling.

Fair form in bumpers. Joined a decent yard ahead of this hurdle debut after 6 months off. One to note in the market.

10/11
Clear-cut winner of a Taunton bumper on debut in March. Third of 15 in a decent Chepstow maiden on his completed start over hurdles but didn't look entirely straightforward (hung left under pressure). Prominent showing likely.

14/1, shaped like a stayer when fifth of 10 in Ayr bumper on debut last month. Should have a future over jumps but probably won't see the best of him until he tackles longer trips.

Only midfield in bumpers but showed plenty when second of 24 in a Naas maiden on his hurdle debut in Februrary (final start for Stuart Crawford). Thereabouts if in the same form on this reappearance for a new yard. Has had wind surgery.

Point recruit who made a successful start in bumpers here last December. Ran to a fair level when fourth of 11 on 2m Wetherby hurdle debut/reappearance 29 days ago, finishing well. Can be expected to improve.

More one for the longer term based on his efforts in a bumper and novice hurdle nearly 9 months apart.

Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to poor chaser Gentleman James. Dam bumper winner (stayed 3m). Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

WAR SOLDIER gets the nod to build on a promising hurdle debut effort at Wetherby and add to last winter's course bumper success. Sergeant Wilson did tend to hang under pressure at Chepstow but that form has been boosted and he looks the main danger ahead of James Ewart's Irish-recruit Thistle Ask.
