| 💬 Two wins in his juvenile season and got his head back in front when stepped up to 19f at Taunton in December. showing a potent turn of foot. Has come up short both starts since at Kempton but sights now lowered and he could have a big part to play if jumping fluently. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 On a handy mark based on juvenile efforts and took a step back in the right direction when third in a handicap at Lingfield in December. Below part on debut for this yard at Exeter since but has subsequently undergone another wind op and, down another 2 lb, he's dangerous to discount. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 Winning chaser in France who scored over hurdles in Britain last term. However, lost his way at the end of that campaign and didn't show enough back hurdling on second run of this season at Hereford to make him of real interest here. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 Won a pair of handicap hurdles at Hereford in 2022/23 and went down narrowly over this C&D on his penultimate start. Not so good next time but he remains on a workable mark and won't be without a chance if on-song back here. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 Much improved (after a breathing op) when taking a 14-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) in January. That represents pretty useful form and she was in the process of running well when exiting 3 out at Chepstow recently, so there is certainly cause for optimism. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 Point winner who atoned for his last-flight hurdles debut tumble at Chepstow last February when scoring in good style at Ascot next time. However, he needs to get back on track following a couple of very low-key performances during the winter. | ||||||||||||||||

| 💬 Bumper winner on debut in December 2022 and built on his hurdles opener when landing a 14-runner Wetherby maiden in January. Failed to fire upped to 20.6f at Market Rasen since but will have a chance if able to get back on track now handicapping in a first-time tongue strap. | ||||||||||||||||
