£105,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in his only Irish point and he made a successful start in this sphere in 2m novice at Perth (good to soft) 49 days ago, comfortably making all. That form has worked out really well so he's a big player.

£40,000 4-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Francky du Berlais. Got off mark in Irish points in May so he must enter calculations now going hurdling.

Son of Jack Hobbs who was much improved from his debut when fourth of 12 in bumper here 9 months ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut.

In the frame in a couple of points but he came in last of 14 in novice at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft, 150/1) on his hurdling bow 18 days ago. Lots more is required.

Modest form in bumpers but he has unseated his rider early on both his hurdling runs at Perth and over C&D this autumn. Has it to prove now.

Made an encouraging start hurdling when a clear third of 10 in novice at Chepstow (16f, heavy, 33/1) 10 months ago. Not ruled out if fully tuned up for his comeback run.

Landed Carlisle bumper in February but only eighth of 10 in similar company at Kelso following month. Needs to bounce back starting out in this sphere.

200/1, pulled up in novice hurdle over C&D (soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. A major step forward is required.

Needed the experience when fourth in a Hereford bumper in March 2023. Absent since and tongue tied now for his hurdles debut. The market can guide.

Got off the mark in Irish points in February but looked in need of the run when eighth of 14 in novice over C&D (soft) on his NH debut 11 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Hooded and hinted at promise when fourth of 8 in bumper (17/2) at Perth on his debut 18 months ago. This son of Soldier of Fortune is no forlorn hope now going hurdling with a tongue tie added.

Dartmouth mare. Dam modest 23f hurdle winner. The betting can prove an accurate indicator.

Modest form in bumpers and in this sphere. Well held on her last two starts though, beating only one on her handicap debut at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) in February. Has lots to prove on her return.

THE HATCHET was quick to make his mark in this sphere at Perth and with that form having been very well advertised since he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb penalty. Both Cavalier Du Luy (second choice) and Kent de Thaix have winning Irish point form to their name and command plenty of respect starting out over hurdles, while Unjeu Royal and Magna Victor can't be discounted either.
