6/4, running well (in third) when fell last in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) on hurdles bow 37 days ago. This fairly useful bumper performer merits serious consideration.

Built on debut hurdling promise when second of 8 in novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. Capable of further progress so he's firmly in the picture.

Ran out on his hurdling bow at Chepstow in January and only tenth back in bumpers at Fairyhouse in April. More is required reverted to this sphere.

Ex-Irish hurdler made a promising start for current yard when runner-up in 2m Bangor maiden but had the hood left off when beating only one in 2m Stratford novice 12 days ago. Could bounce back with headgear now refitted.

Made a winning debut in bumper at Market Rasen for Henry Daly in October. Only eighth of 11 in similar company at Catterick in January so more is required on his hurdles debut.

A fair 1m2f scorer for James Fanshawe who also came in a good second at Chelmsford City (10f) in October. One to consider now going hurdling for her new handler.

£2,500 4-y-o, Cloudings mare. Dam, maiden pointer, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 4m) Vintage Clouds (by Cloudings). A winning Irish pointer, also fourth in April. Highly respected on her hurdling debut.

Irish challenger PORTETTA possesses much the best form on show so is taken to build on her promising Tipperary debut second and open her account. Both Soul Limbo and The Great Escape have better days ahead of them too though so can both go well, while Olly Murphy's newcomer Wester Clouds can't be discounted, especially if the market vibes are positive.
