Not disgraced in maiden/novice hurdles at Bangor last August but soundly beaten back in a handicap over C&D final start. Drops into a 0-105 on return but looks best watched.
Flat winner for John Ryan who took a fairly sizeable step forward on just her third start for David Pipe when runner-up at Wincanton in November, clear of rest. One to consider on return.
Half-sister to useful hurdler Nelson River and is a fair maiden on the Flat (stays 2m). Placed both starts in novice hurdles and interesting now making quick switch to handicaps in a tongue strap.
Lightly-raced sort who again ran well without finding any further improvement when third at Ayr 19 months ago. Not seen since but handicapper has dropped him 4 lb, so he's a potential player.
Point winner but pulled up on last 2 starts in that sphere and only minor promise in 2 bumpers/novice hurdles to date, so improvement needed on this switch to handicaps after 9 months off.
Fair 10f AW winner on Flat for Sir Michael Stoute. Well in novice hurdles but may prove a different proposition now switching to handicaps in a tongue tie.
Fair Flat performer who shaped as if still in good form when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) 20 days ago, just not getting home. Back down in trip.
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles for Padraig Roche and little impression in 6 handicap outings for new yard.

Say Nothing (5/2), Queen Adelaide (10/3), Karamoko (9/2), Jetstream (11/2), Shareef Star (8/1), Rathbride Prince (14/1), Lester Kris (25/1), First Man (28/1), Bullsempire (28/1), Chapati (28/1)
SAY NOTHING has shown clear promise of both her stars over hurdles, and with this longer trip sure to suit now making a quick switch to handicaps, she's taken to come out on top. Shareef Star could prove a different proposition now handicapping, but with his yard still struggling for form, Karamoka may prove the bigger threat having been given a chance by the handicapper on his belated return.
