7/2
Fairly useful hurdler for Thomas Mullins in Ireland, successful 3 times in 2021. Offered little in 5 runs for new yard last term but this is a big drop in class. Visored and tongue tied for first time. Could revive.

Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland. Off since early fall in a handicap at Kilbeggan last July (final start for Henry de Bromhead). One to note in the betting dropped into a seller on yard debut.

Best effort for a while when fourth over C&D last summer but below that level in 3 outings since. Been off 5 months.

Much improved when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in January but in nothing like the same form since. Drops down into a seller now.

Modest in bumpers and over hurdles. First-time blinkers need to make a difference.

Useful at his best in Ireland. Pulled up in 2 outings (including a selling hurdle) for Jake Coulson but did offer a bit more (albeit held) when falling at last over fences at Fakenham for new yard 26 days ago. Visor and tongue tie on first time. Might be worth taking a chance on.

It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2019 and he's pulled up in 2 comeback runs this spring. Has lots to prove.

Have to go back to 2018 for his 2 wins and off since well held in a Cartmel handicap last summer. Another in this line-up who needs to show he still retains ability.

In a seller where nothing arrives with compelling claims it's worth taking a chance that the one-time useful FANCY FOUNDATIONS, who hasn't been with the Laura Morgan stable for long, retains enough ability to win at this level. It's possible a drop in class and a new headgear combination might spark Excelcius back to life so he's second choice ahead of R Mike Smith's Irish recruit Trebizond.
