Big Boy Barney
This point winner could manage only a well-held third of four finishers when switched to fences for last month's 2m Ludlow handicap debut; improvement will be needed quickly now returned to hurdles.

Milan Park
Unexposed now making a quick switch to handicaps but his mark isn't obviously generous and some of the other handicap newcomers make more appeal.

Nitty Gritty
Won maiden hurdle at Killarney (2m4f, yielding to soft) in July for Joseph O'Brien but well beaten on final run for that yard and it's been the same story on all three outings for this stable.

Oneinthewell
Yet to build as might have been expected on March's Leopardstown bumper debut success but he hasn't been with the excellent James Owen stable for long and the way he made late headway for fifth in 2m Huntingdon maiden hurdle last time points to him making more of an impact now handicapping up in trip; very interesting, particularly if backed.

Tigga Time
Drew a blank for Sandy Thomson but won a good-ground Huntingdon handicap over an extended 2m4f last month on only his second start for Sarah Humphrey; a 4lb rise proved enough to find him out back there since and there's a suspicion he might be vulnerable to some of the less exposed sorts today.

Fast Work
Third in a bumper last winter; best run over hurdles when fourth of seven in 2m1f Newcastle maiden (good to soft) four weeks ago and there should be more to come from him now he's handicapping and up in trip.

Vinnie O'Neil
First flicker of promise when 400-1 fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October; had wind surgery after and failed to build on that when down the field at Southwell 24 days ago; has more of a chance now handicapping but others still look more obvious; tongue tied first time.

Brookside La
Never better than midfield in three qualifying runs at about 2m in recent months but rates a likely improver in handicaps for top yard that had a handicap newcomer justify favouritism in a similar race at Huntingdon on Monday; market confidence is likely to be significant.

Sam's Falcon
Unexposed 6yo who displayed promise in the second of his three 2m1f hurdle runs towards the end of 2024; switched to fences for his handicap/seasonal debut but jumped poorly; would need to see market support if he's to be considered on this quick return to hurdles.

Wise Move
Four-time point winner but 0-8 over hurdles, including four handicaps; may come on for his recent Newcastle fifth after a break but others in this line-up have much greater scope for improvement.

2m AW Flat winner in October; three creditable in-frame efforts in handicap hurdles since, including here; place chance.
