Fair debut here in June when fourth in a bumper but was tailed off at Stratford in similar event last time under amateur rider. Stronger handling here for hurdles bow.
Belated racecourse bow for Dahjee gelding who is related to fair winners under both codes. Interesting that shrewd connections have persevered with him for so long so one to keep an eye on for market support.
Modest winning point-to-pointer but has showed very little in the way of talent in two starts so far under Rules. Tailed off at Southwell last time over 2m4f and looks to have a tough task once again.
Dual winner on Flat for Michal Bell prior to spell with Charlie Mann where failed to flourish. Signs of a revival on sole start for Amy Murphy a year ago when second in Uttoxeter novice hurdle. Not seen since and makes debut now for in-form yard.
Third in all three bumper races, two prior to and one following wind surgery. Type to make his mark over hurdles and yard on a roll with 33% strike rate in recent weeks. Looks a contender.
10-race maiden. First six starts for Gordon Elliott in Ireland where showed some form under both codes. Didn't show much in three Flat starts for current yard prior to poor British hurdles debut last time at Stratford. Wears first-time hood.
Won Huntingdon bumper on racecourse bow for Kevin Ryan in October then sold for £20,000 soon after to join current yard. Failed to shine in two bumpers this spring but has had wind surgery and may do better now on hurdles bow for good yard.
Related to some talented Flat performers but failed to win in eight attempts for Saeed Bin Suroor. Went close on a couple of occasions and was no slouch so may build on promise of Ffos Las hurdles bow. Needs to settle better though.
Five-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f for Joseph Tuite. Joined top jumps yard in June and was decent third on hurdles bow at Stratford soon after. Headed last at Ffos Las last time and found little on run-in but is respected in this company.
Two wins on the Flat to her name at up to a mile prior to joining current yard in June. Hasn't shown much at all in two outings over timber and looks to have a lot on her plate.

With his trainer's horses in good form at the moment a chance is taken on TWASN'T THE PLAN making a winning hurdles debut. He has shown some ability in all three bumpers so far. Prancing Oscar looks a danger having made a decent start over timber in finishing third at Stratford, and Surrey Blaze has it in him to win a race although he did disappoint last time. Carry On could do better now he has had a wind op, and if he is fit after a long lay-off, Ray's The Money wouldn't be without hope so any signs of support in the ring would be of interest.
