Corner Forward
42,000euros 3yo who attracted the Fontwell stewards' attention despite being pulled up (28-1) in 2m1f maiden hurdle on his debut in October; market support would boost his claims.

Georgey
9-2 but only a modicum of promise when beaten about 16l in a Wincanton bumper last month; related to hurdlers and may do better now switched to this discipline.

Harbour Light
Stepped up a little on his bumper debut when seventh of 12 at Worcester in October; still needs plenty more on this first go over hurdles.

Las Canals
Won a French bumper (about 1m4f, very soft) last October but could never land a proper blow when third on his hurdling introduction at Compiegne (2m1f, heavy) the following month; interesting to see how he goes in the market on this stable debut after 394 days away.

Necronaut
Hails from the family of Denman and he cost 200,000 as a 4yo; made a nice bumper debut but yet to build on that and he weakened on his second go over hurdles at Chesptow (2m, soft) last time.

Onlyforfrankie
Won a Roscommon bumper (1m7f, good to yielding) in September on final outing for Brian McMahon; not disgraced in a Listed event at Cheltenham (2m, soft) on his first go for this yard last month; might have a say on this hurdles debut.

Pioneer Pete
Placed all four starts (good ground), two bumpers in the spring and two hurdle races this autumn, latterly when runner-up at Exeter (2m) last month; sets a fair standard.

Soomaroy
Joint-favourite when 4l winner of an Irish maiden point (3m, good to yielding) in March; fetched 190,000 in April but turned over at odds-on when second of five in Ascot novice (about 2m, good) at the start of November; many of his yard's horses have come on for a run, however, and he makes plenty of appeal again.

12/1 |
Wolf Walker
0-3 in Irish points but 3-3 (hooded) in Britain; underwhelmed in a Cheltenham hunter chase (3m2f, soft) when last seen in May 2024 and subsequently left Christopher Barber; sharply drops in trip with a tongue-tie added for this stable/hurdling debut.

100-1 and tailed off on her hurdles debut at Exeter (about 2m3f, good to soft) last month; needs a big step forward.

Lyrical Choice
Promising start in bumpers, including when third of eight at Aintree (2m1f, good to soft) on her comeback in October; now goes hurdling for a yard among the winners.

- Kielan Woods / B Pauling

Rock Sensation
Improved to win a Southwell bumper (good) in the spring and it was a solid return when fourth in Listed race at Cheltenham (soft) last month; will likely want further in time but should still make her presence felt on this hurdling debut.
