An Bradan Feasa
Useful juvenile hurdler last season and made perfectly respectable reappearance against own age-group at Cheltenham (2m, good) last month; on a workable mark for this handicap return and can make his presence felt.

Gardener
Won twice over fences last season but ended that campaign with two poor runs and was tailed off when reappearing over hurdles in September; suffered an early mishap on his latest outing; others have much less to prove.

Latin Verse
Shaped quite well when sixth in 4yo handicap on hurdling return at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and was not disgraced when faced with tough assignment at Cheltenham a fortnight later; could have a say in this.

Magic Seven
Generally disappointing since his two 2m3f Hereford wins last November but returned to form with win off much reduced mark at Exeter (2m, good) a fortnight ago and ought to remain competitive after a 6lb rise.

Kourosh
Had mixed record as a juvenile hurdler and has dropped out tamely on last two appearances, latterly on seasonal debut six weeks ago; not written off just yet but it takes a leap of faith to support him here.

Fransham
Five-time hurdle winner who is best known as a Wetherby specialist; made low-key seasonal debut last month and is patently not the force of old but lurks on a dangerous mark and can't be ruled out.

Pyrotechnic
Won over hurdles in France; 0-4 for current stable but led for a long way when fifth (about 6l behind Gold For Alec) on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) and might come on for the run.

Gold For Alec
Low-mileage 4yo who ran big race in defeat behind revitalised subsequent winner on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good); only 3lb higher here and needs to be taken very seriously.

Ace Rothstein
Went close in C&D novice in March 2023 but was well beaten on handicap hurdle debut just over a year ago; has also been in poor form on the Flat since, most recently on this month's stable debut; too risky.
