Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: D King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 109

15/2

Fair hurdler. Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner novice hurdle (5/6) at Sligo (20f, good) 19 days ago, barely adequate test. Up in trip, which promises to suit but more is needed on these terms.

Form: 24/322-1

Toad Hall⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 127

30/100

Made second hurdles start a winning one at Downpatrick in March. 9/4, fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 46 days ago. Up in trip, which should be within range and he's the one to beat.

Form: 2/214-

Cooke's Lass⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott

4/1

Still looked green but didn't stop her winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, soft) on NH debut 58 days ago. Up in trip. Open to plenty of improvement.

Forecasts

Toad Hall (30/100), Cooke's Lass (4/1), Long Gone (11/2), Huntsgrove (15/2), Reiki Revolution (20/1)

This trip should be within range for TOAD HALL, who is fancied to double his tally, probably at the chief expense of potential improver Cooke's Lass.
