|
15/8 |
Ace Of Spades
Progressive in bumpers, most recently winning by 4l at Warwick (good) in April; half-brother to 2023 Tolworth winner Tahmuras and looks a useful hurdles prospect; respected.

- Electric Mason
- Rex Dingle / C Gordon

|
|
5/2 |
Electric Mason
Steadily progressive RPRs in bumpers last season until coming up short in Aintree Grade 2 on final run; Kempton win came on soft going; may have more to offer back down in class.

Jim De Sarti
Bumper winner in France and placed in 2m maiden hurdle at Newbury on the second of two starts last winter for Nicky Henderson; sold for 10,000 since; heed the market signals.

Nowmelad
Point winner; solid second (form has substance) in both attempts over hurdles, latest at Worcester (2m, good) in June when beaten by a subsequent dual scorer; major contender.

Pooroldmackley
Failed to complete in two points and was well behind Nowmelad in Ffos Las maiden hurdle for Laura Horsfall; needs improvement on debut for Evan Williams.

- Sonification
- Harry Reed / Harry Derham
|
|
|
5/1 |
Sonification
Both starts at Chepstow in 2022, winning good-ground bumper in clearcut style then fifth in fairly useful 2m novice hurdle; has potential and looks interesting on return to action.

- The Grafter
- Jonathan England / S England
|
|
|
28/1 |
The Grafter
Showed some ability in two bumpers last season for Sam Allwood but the bare form is below the required standard in this field; addition of tongue-tie needs to help.
|
|
|
|
- Thieving Gap
- Benjamin Poste / H Dickin
|

|
100/1 |
Thieving Gap
Achieved little a couple of winters ago and is best watched on return from long absence.

- Chester Tonik

Chester Tonik
Holds very weak claims on his Flat/hurdles form for current stable; look elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
- First Cut
- Charlie Hammond / S Edmunds
|
|
|
40/1 |
First Cut
Regressive RPRs in four Flat starts last year for William Knight; change of code needs to have major effect.

50/1 |
Karaktere D'enfer
Went close on sole French outing but regressed sharply in three British runs last term (beaten favourite on two occasions); big turnaround is required on reappearance.
|

- Mon Petit Ami
- Sean Houlihan / Tim Vaughan
|
|
|
100/1 |
Mon Petit Ami
Beaten long way in Taunton bumper in February for Mitchell Hunt; still with same owner; needs a massive step forward.
|

- Woodstock City
- C J Todd / Ian Williams
|
|
|
14/1 |
Woodstock City
Record of 3-20 on the Flat, all wins at about 1m2f, the most recent on penultimate start; latest effort suggests he remains in form; could go well, provided his jumping holds up.
