Useful sort on the Flat in 2018 earning a rating of 87 and winning twice in total. Off over 400 days ahead of this, his hurdles bow but having joined the champion trainer a bold bid can be expected.

Weakened into eighth of 10 at Uttoxeter on debut 11 days ago and this former point-to-pointer looks a more long term prospect.

Bought out of the Irish PTP scene for £50,000 he was too keen when tailed off in a bumper last February at Musselburgh. In good hands to improve now but others more obvious contenders.

Fair 29L eighth in a 2m1f bumper at Exeter (good) on debut in May but never got going when last of eight on hurdles bow last month. Had a wind op and now wears a tongue tie.

Minor progress latest in his fourth start (second over hurdles) at Ffos Las but still needs big step forward to get involved heavily.

Fair level achieved in three hurdle races earning him a rating of 122 after a fourth of 15 at Warwick when last seen in February. Probably the one to beat on that basis although others less exposed.

Well-backed and duly delivered when winning his lone bumper at Ayr last February. Still early days to gauge that form but has to be considered a bright prospect and interesting runner here.

Very moderate Flat performer who was better on AW than on turf. Recent form a further concern as she now tries her luck over hurdles for the first time.

Makes very belated Rules debut in a tongue tie. This newcomer was 0-17 in point-to-points so clearly isn't of notable ability.
