Next Twist
Safely held when sixth on seasonal/hurdle debut in October but combination of first-time hood and much more positive tactics enabled him to beat a next-time-out winner fairly comfortably at Southwell (2m, good to soft) the following month; good chance.

Triple Crown Ted
Built upon promising seasonal/hurdle debut when winning seven-runner Kelso novice (2m, soft) in November; should have more to offer but carries 7lb penalty in a stronger race.

Belvedere Bhoy
Always behind on last month's hurdling debut at Kelso and fell at third flight there two weeks ago; stable has much more obvious chance with Triple Crown Ted.

Bras D'or
Not beaten far in good Cheltenham maiden (2m, soft) on seasonal/hurdle debut in November and probably ran to similar level when clear second to useful rival in 15-runner Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) last month; has a big role to play here.

Coylton King
Displayed clear promise when fourth of 12 in soft-ground course bumper just under a year ago but has made a disappointing start to his hurdling career this season and remains best watched.

- B S Hughes / D Mccain Jnr

11/2 |
Kilnesare Flight
Runner-up on Irish point debut in autumn 2024 and filled same position in Carlisle bumper (also on soft) on rules debut six weeks ago; no surprise if he is in the thick of things again on this hurdling debut.

9/1 |
Luckie Devil
Second but no match to very useful rival on bumper debut at Newcastle (good) last March and his second bumper run was disappointing; makes hurdling debut after 251-day absence with first-time hood fitted; others look stronger.

Bennys Jenny
Won Irish point in the spring of 2024 but made low-key hurdle debut over C&D for Stuart Coltherd last winter; again soundly beaten when reappearing for Nick Alexander at Kelso (2m5f) last month.

Breaking Ground
Remote when placed in good-ground Irish point last spring and struggled in two Perth hurdles in the summer; returns from a break with hood fitted.
