Ballynorth
Dam Listed 1m2f Flat winner, bred several who stayed well over hurdles; some promise in Irish points without winning; sold 32,000 in May; market can guide on yard debut.

Izakaya
Classy pedigree; two staying Flat wins off modest marks this autumn (about 2m1f on soft) but she refused to line up on intended hurdle debut at Lingfield in November (33-1); looks one to watch for now.

Pollyanna's Dream
Close up in two bumpers as a 4yo but she missed the best part of a year and was ultimately well held in a Listed mares' bumper at Cheltenham last month (about 7l behind Shotgun Shirley); out of a useful and reliable jumper so no surprise if she improves plenty now hurdling.

Queen's Theatre
Looked a stayer in the making when winning on second bumper start, at Plumpton (good; runner-up won next two) in May; bred to fare better over jumps and she's an interesting newcomer to hurdles.

Shotgun Shirley
Big step forward when winning on third bumper start, at Uttoxeter (good; first-time hood) in October, and she lost nothing in defeat when runner-up in a Listed mares' race at Cheltenham (soft) since; yard won a hatful of races with siblings; can go on to better things now hurdling.

5/2 |
Shutfrontdoor
Three siblings won for the yard; came through quite takingly to see off a subsequent winner on debut here in May and she ran to a similar level when runner-up at Uttoxeter in July; has a future over hurdles but unraced on ground slower than good.
