Failed to figure on his first two starts in bumpers and ran out in a 2m1f event at Exeter (heavy) last month when last in action. Others hold stronger claims.
Showed plenty of ability when finishing 2L third in a 2m1f bumper at Killarney (good) last May. Changed hands for £125,000 subsequently and wears a hood and tongue tie for the first time on first outing since wind surgery.
Started odds-on favourite but ultimately finished a well beaten 25L third of five in a 2m bumper at Uttoxeter (heavy) when making his debut in December. Interesting runner in this contest.
Unraced Getaway gelding out of a mare who was a winner over both hurdles and fences. Promising conditional jockey in the saddle and market support would be notable on debut.
Unraced gelded son of Getaway purchased for £21,000 at the sales in May last year. Dam won over hurdles and in a point-to-point and he is of interest on racecourse debut.
Signs of ability in finishing 16L fourth in a 2m bumper at Hereford (soft) when making his debut in December. Improvement needed if he's to take this race however.
Unraced Cokoriko gelding out of a mare who won over hurdles and fences. Worth a check in the market on first racecourse appearance.
Unraced gelding by Leading Light cost connections €50,000 at the sales in June last year. Represents a good yard and is one to note on racecourse debut.

Forecasts
Flash De Touzaine (13/8), Windswept Girl (2/1), Le Crunch (6/1), Thatsentertainment (7/1), Freddie Darling (8/1), Fleury (10/1), Canastero (14/1), Full Spes (20/1), Alkademon (80/1)
FLASH DE TOUZAINE showed plenty of ability on his sole start in Ireland and he can make a winning debut for trainer Paul Nicholls by taking the concluding bumper. The selection can see off his rivals here with the newcomer Thatsentertainment capable of getting the better of fellow unraced gelding Canastero in the battle for second spot.
