Cooler Than Me
Runner-up in Exeter bumper in March 2023 and won a two-runner point the following month, but failed to finish in three runs afterwards; returns for a new stable after a long absence and probably best watched.

Gnomon
Won a bumper and showed progressive form on Flat for Ralph Beckett, winning 1m6f handicap in October off a mark of 79; beaten at odds-on in maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on debut for new stable but shaped with some promise all the same, left behind only on the run-in and clear of the remainder; should improve for the experience and commands respect.

Hans Lippershey
0-4 but has made the frame on each outing, hooded when 9l third of 11 on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) five weeks ago, fading after racing freely; should improve but others have more obvious claims.

Ionian
5-4 favourite when only sixth of ten in an Irish point in April; difficult to recommend on that evidence, but he's since joined a top stable with a fine record on this course; well worth a market check.

Jimbo Sport
In the frame in three points before making all in Hereford bumper in March; satisfactory start over hurdles when close second of six in C&D novice (good ground; 6-5 favourite) last month, leading from two out until run-in and pulling clear of the third; open to improvement in first-time tongue-strap.

Klub De Reve
Irish point winner; building a solid foundation under rules, improving on form of hurdling debut when second of 16 in novice at Exeter (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago, always close up and beating the rest handsomely; sets the standard on form and looks the likeliest winner.

Lock Stock
Runner-up on four of five starts under rules, headed only near finish at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) six weeks ago; may still be unexposed; one of two runners for Ben Pauling and looks the pick on jockey bookings.

Maskarvel
Showed promise in Irish bumpers in the summer, runner-up in a big field at the Galway festival (good ground) on latest start; will need to hit the ground running on stable/hurdling debut but he's not ruled out entirely.

Mount Bonete
Runner-up in a point in March 2022 and won bumper at Worcester (good ground) the following October; the market may be the best guide to his chance as he makes his hurdling debut after a mammoth layoff.

Zamek
Placed in Chepstow bumper for Paul Nicholls in April and again shaped encouragingly on stable debut when a clear second over hurdles at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last month; open to progress and looks a leading contender.

Heron In The Park
280,000 buy after winning an Irish point and easily dealt with her five rivals in bumper at Newbury (good) in March; better of her efforts over hurdles when fifth of 13 on same course (2m, good to soft; hooded) last month; further improvement possible but also necessary.

Kapability
Didn't progress in bumpers after a successful debut and she finished some way adrift of Heron In The Park over hurdles at Newbury (18-1) last month; has plenty to find.
