Calshot Spit
C&D winner off this mark last September but hasn't reproduced that level since and was pulled up swiftly after a mistake in March on his return after a break; returns from another layoff with something to prove.

Bridge
Juvenile hurdle winner over C&D on Boxing Day 2023 and generally held his form in handicaps thereafter; absent since finishing runner-up off this mark in a C&D handicap (good) in April 2024 and appears the stable's second string on jockey bookings, but still commands respect.

Our Papa Smurf
Took a notable step forward when narrowly landing a Warwick juvenile hurdle (2m, good to soft) last December, responding well to positive tactics and making virtually all; opening mark looks workable if he can resume his progress back from an absence.

Master Dunraven
Well beaten in three novice/maiden hurdles (good/good to soft; 2m-2m3f) and made little impact on handicap debut (2m4f, good) in May; however, he won a big-field, heavy-ground Leopardstown handicap on the Flat (1m2f) in October 2024 and that success makes him of some interest back down in trip after a break, especially if strong in the market.

Storming Nelson
Has been well beaten on all starts since winning an Exeter maiden in January 2024, but didn't shape badly on last month's seasonal reappearance following wind surgery; has come a long way down in the weights but needs to build on that latest performance.

Crossbeau
Justified strong market support to open his account at Chepstow last month after a 502-day absence, staying on well; comes back in trip off 6lb higher but looks to have been found an inviting opportunity to follow up.

Smart Casual
16-race maiden but running well over fences until his fall in March; poor return to hurdles (2m4f, soft) last month but that came after a break, so better could be expected with that run behind him now back in trip and on a competitive mark.
