Jubilee Alpha
Grade 2 bumper runner-up (soft) who was a close Listed third on hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in November before ready win in the same grade at Taunton (2m, good to soft); leading claims despite top weight.

Barrabool
Fair efforts in bumpers (including on soft) and she showed improved form to easily make all on her hurdle/stable debut at Plumpton (2m, good) in November; she's in good hands and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie, but it was a poor race at Plumpton and this is drastically tougher.

Bluey
Point (3m, soft) and bumper (2m1f, good) winner who got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt at Wincanton last month (1m7f, good to soft; made all); had a Paul Nicholls bumper winner 3l back in second and that one was well clear of the third; could have a say for in-form yard.

Siog Geal
Point winner (3m, yielding) who was runner-up in both bumpers (good ground; Listed race on second occasion) before winning on hurdle debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) last month; had to battle and others possess stronger form, but she could be just the type of mare to progress nicely for this yard.

Everest
Runner-up on debut in Southwell bumper (2m good to soft) last June but unable to kick on from that and she was a soundly beaten at 20-1 when fifth behind Bluey on last month's hurdle debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft).

Katira Du Mestivel
Disputing the lead when falling at final fence on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) last April, and subsequently sold for 110,000euros; 7l runner-up on rules debut at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) last month and improvement is needed today, but that was still a promising performance and she may benefit from this drop back in trip; not discounted.

Khrisma
Absent since November 2023 but won two 3yo Grade 3 bumpers in France that autumn (1m4f, soft); has since joined top connections and brings considerable potential to this British/hurdle debut; very much one to consider.
