Makes his hurdles debut having shown some fair form in a bumper on his debut at Musselburgh on good ground (came 3rd). Failed to build on that debut in two further starts (both with cut in the ground) and may do better now back on a sounder surface.
Yet to race over hurdles having been bought by his current connections after winning an AW 1m4f seller in January when with Jamie Osborne. Not disgraced on his one run for the yard on the AW over 2m; worth watching in the market.
Showed ability in his only bumper and has been progressing steadily over hurdles and looks capable of winning a race like this. Does have to prove himself on a quicker surface though but does already have a mark of 122.
Useful on the Flat in the past when with Mark Johnston he's offered little so far in two starts over hurdles for this yard. May be able to show more in time but hard to recommend given his hurdles form so far.
Pulled-up on his last two starts over fences his progress over hurdles also looked to have stalled when last seen in this sphere. Has a mark of 120 in this discipline but doesn't at the moment look as though he's going to live up to it.
Tried over various trips in his hurdling career but appears to be of little note and failed to show anything when last seen. Beaten in selling company before and makes little appeal.
Has some relatively decent placed efforts to his name over hurdles in novice company but failed to impress on his handicap debut last time (up in trip/cheekpieces on). Jumping was very lack-lustre last time and he'll need to be slicker here.
Poor form overall in his hurdles career and looked to be flattered in a weak contest here last time and of very little interest.
Has looked modest in four well spaced out bumper performances and failed to impress in a jumpers' bumper when last seen. Now makes her hurdling debut and has plenty to prove.
Has only just made her debut but progressed from first to second run over hurdles keeping on well last time out over C&D. Needs this run for a mark and may then be interesting in low-grade handicaps.

Not a great deal of strength in depth here and it should give HURRICANE DYLAN a good chance of getting off the mark after a sound run at Uttoxeter last time as long as he can cope with the quicker ground. Stay In Touch will need to jump better although may find this an easier task while Quietly looks on a recovery mission after some disappointing chasing efforts although a better surface may suit. Of the newcomers both Colby and Every Chance are worth watching in the market especially the Irish challenger with his stable having landed a few touches here over the years.
