Kamsinas³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 130

5/2

Made an impressive start over hurdles when landing Worcester novice in October and added to that in Haydock Grade 2 the following month. Positives to take from his handicap debut display in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last time and he's a big player up in trip and back in novice company.

Form: 3-12160

Be Aware³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 123| BF

2/1

Brother to connections' useful hurdler/chaser Lac de Constance and looked good when making a successful start in a 16-runner novice at Newbury in January. Pulled well clear of the rest with the winner when just touched off at Lingfield (2m, soft) since and improvement likely now upped in trip.

Form: 12

Il Pino¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| D

16/5

Successful sole start between the flags in December 2022 and readily saw off dual subsequent winner Lord of Thunder on Rules debut in a 21.4f Wincanton novice in November. More on his plate here but he's clearly very promising.

Form: 1-1

Menaggio⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 119

12/1

Showed ability when sixth in big-field Newbury bumper on debut last spring and made it third time lucky over hurdles in a 21.7f Hereford novice (good to soft) in January. Should have more races in him but he's up against some useful types here.

Form: 6-521

Parade Away^t⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 123

5/1

Useful bumper winner who landed a match at Hereford on hurdling debut for Milton Harris. Fairly useful efforts in defeat the last twice but will need to raise his game for new yard if he's to regain the winning thread here.

Form: 211723

Silver Bobbin⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West

300/1

Well held in varied events on Flat and pulled up on hurdles debut at Exeter.

Form: P

There should be better to come from BE AWARE, who was attempting to concede 19 lb to the winner when just touched off in a Lingfield novice and he promises to be suited by this step up in trip. That remark also applies to Kamsinas, who didn't shape at all badly in the face of an uphill task on his handicap debut at Newbury and he is feared most ahead of the unbeaten and promising Il Pino.
