Fingle Bridge
2-2 over hurdles last season, including a Listed win; kept on for never-dangerous second behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Lulamba on chasing debut at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) in November and was subsequently left alone to win a match race; still unexposed; respected.

Meetmebythesea
Launched hurdling career with three wins last season and ran big race when close third in always-competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) in March; justified favouritism in Wetherby handicap (1m7f, soft) on chasing debut in November and remains a very good prospect.

Big John Wayne
Won an Irish point in 2023 and looked promising on all three hurdling starts in 2024 but this chasing debut comes after a 454-day absence and he's against some very useful rivals.

Dedicated Hero
Dual hurdle winner last season, latterly in Grade 2 novice at Haydock (1m7f, soft); yet to make any further progress in handicaps this term but has contested some good races; interesting to see how he fares on this chasing debut.

From The Clouds
2-4 as a novice hurdler last season; made pretty good start to chasing career when second of five in soft-ground C&D handicap in November but will probably need to take a good step forward today.
