King Califet
Fetched 110,000 after finishing second in a six-runner Irish point (soft/heavy); made a winning start under rules at Newbury (2m maiden, soft; 11-2) but was gifted that race after the clear leader came down at the last, and this 6yo was all out to repel the rallying second (debut bumper winner); no good thing to defy a penalty here but clearly a contender.

Buckna
Cost 350,000 after winning an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) last March; a beaten favourite in both his hurdles starts (soft), running better at Ffos Las (2m) than at Newbury four weeks ago (2m4f) when he finished wearily; disappointing should he not be capable of better.

Gamblergo
Not sure he achieved all that much in winning an Irish point and those doubts now have substance after a forgettable hurdling debut; had wind surgery since.

Johnny Boy
Beaten 31l in a bumper and 56l in a 2m4f maiden hurdle, both on soft ground at Ffos Las; looks one for handicaps.

300-1 for a 2m5f maiden at Warwick and showed pretty much nothing.

Had a long time out after winning two bumpers (soft/heavy); couldn't cope with an easy winner (probably very smart) at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) but that's something to build on.

Strong As Steel
Beaten under 5l by the useful Jurancon in a bumper here last March (soft) but hasn't kicked on from that in a big way; did race freely and made a bad late mistake on hurdling debut at Uttoxeter last month, so by no means one to give up on just yet.

Hinted at some ability in a Warwick bumper, trailing the winner by 12l come the line (good to soft; 16-1).
