Disappointed when third at Worcester (16f, good) in July but had been going the right way previously and this winning pointer will surely benefit from the step up in trip here. Shortlisted.

Fairly-useful Flat winner who built on promising hurdles debut when runner-up at Tramore (21.4f) in August. May have been undone by slow ground when fifth of 13 in novice at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) last month and must enter calculations.

Irish point winner who left his hurdles debut effort well behind when second of 9 in Cartmel novice (22.1f, good to firm) in July. May have more to offer yet.

Modest form in bumpers and no real impact in a couple of starts in this sphere. Likely to be seen in better light when sent handicapping over a longer trip.

£11,000 6-y-o, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Getaway Lucy. Placed in last 3 of 4 starts in Irish points, last of 3 finishers last time (Mar 2023). Worth monitoring in market on Rules debut.

Fairly-useful bumper winner who was unsuited by emphasis on speed when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Step up in trip is a plus but others hold more appeal here.

Showed more than on hurdling debut when fifth of 10 in novice at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) 45 days ago. May have more to offer yet and holds each-way claims.

Just modest form in 3 bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies and ran to a similar level when third of 9 in novice at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Improvement required to figure here.

Offered little in a couple of starts over hurdles for Craig Lidster last year and can only be watched on debut for new connections here.

Beaten quickly when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 41 days ago. This longer trip will suit but she is likely to need more time.

Showed a bit when third in a Newton Abbot bumper on debut but disappointed on both starts for current yard last month. Tongue strap on first time.
