Irish point winner (good to yielding) who ran to fairly useful level when second on first two hurdling starts, latterly after making the running over C&D (good) last month; obvious contender.
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper J'y Vole; bought for 205,000 soon after making winning Irish point debut in April and has joined a top stable for rules career; could be anything.
Won good-ground point in spring 2023 and made quite promising rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) the following autumn, keeping on for third; returns from 768-day absence in a strong maiden, though.
Runner-up on Irish point debut in March and filled same position in both hurdle races this autumn (2m4f/2m5f, soft); has a bit to find on the figures with some of these but open to improvement and enters calculations.
Point/bumper winner who launched hurdling career with two creditable seconds this autumn, the latter at Cheltenham (2m, soft); major player here if suited by the step up in trip.
Won good-ground Doncaster bumper on debut in January but ended last season with a disappointing bumper run and faded into fourth on last month's hurdle debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft); this race is much stronger and stable has more obvious chance with Dig Deep.
0-6 over hurdles but placed four times for Alan King last season, notably when close second in valuable EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft), and again ran well when third over C&D (good; just behind Big Ticket) for new stable last month; dangerous if that recent outing has brought him on.
From a good jumping family and joined Charlie Longsdon after promising Irish point debut in April; not beaten that far when last of four in good maiden here (2m3f, good) last month but needs to take a step forward today.
Irish point winner (soft) who went close in heavy-ground Exeter bumper on rules debut in February; well beaten when reappearing in 2m4f Newbury hurdle last month, though, and needs to leave that run a long way behind.
Displayed significant promise in two 2m Newbury maidens last month, more recently when third of 12 on soft ground, but needs to find extra here and is not bred to benefit from the step up in trip.
