8/1
Long-standing maiden over hurdles who seemed to find his stamina stretched when midfield in 17-runner Uttoxeter handicap (23.3f) on yard debut 15 days ago. This slightly lesser test should suit but he's vulnerable back in maiden company.

14/1
Dual point winner who is stoutly-bred and duly shaped in kind when finishing distant fifth in 8-runner Kempton maiden (21f) 3 weeks ago. This again likely to prove too sharp for him and he's one for later on.

6/4
Fair bumper performer in Ireland and he's reached a similar level over hurdles, producing best effort yet (on back of a wind op) when second at Fontwell (21.7f) 11 days ago. A repeat should see him thereabouts in this field.

28/1
Runner-up sole start in bumpers last summer but didn't shape with much short-term encouragement when sixth in 7-runner Uttoxeter maiden hurdle (15.7f) on return to action 15 days ago. This should reveal more at least.

Related to winners but hasn't showed much in pair of bumpers 9 months apart, latterly on debut for his present yard 23 days ago. Hood on for hurdles debut.

1/1
Fair hurdler who again ran well to hit the frame for third consecutive time this spring when third at Warwick (25f) 3 weeks ago, keeping on. Merit seemingly established now but she's a definite player on balance.

33/1
Related to 4 winners and hinted at ability on debut in a Kempton bumper (2m) in February. Not matched that level either start since though, never better than midfield when ninth in 13-runner Exeter bumper 4 weeks ago. Best watched making hurdles debut.

66/1
Modest maiden on Flat (stays 16.5f) and turned in a creditable display on back of 9 months off when midfield in 11-runner Wolverhampton handicap (16.5f) for new yard 26 days ago. Still, probably best watched now hurdling.

GLOBAL FAMENGLORY has run with credit in hitting the frame all 3 starts since the turn of the year and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears, she gets the nod to open her account. Shandancer rates the chief threat on the back of his latest Fontwell second 11 days ago.
