Winner of Ludlow maiden and listed race at Wetherby first 2 starts. Turned over when odds on for novice event next time but ran a fine race in Fred Winter when last seen and returns only 1 lb higher.
|
Showed plenty of ability in France and won first 2 starts over hurdles for this yard. Ran poorly when pulled up in Fred Winter final start but remains the type to do better in handicaps at some stage.
|
Fairly useful on Flat and relished the step up in distance when off the mark over hurdles in Stratford juvenile (18.7f) final start last season. His opening mark asks for a fair bit more, though.
|
Fairly useful Flat performer in France who was progressing well over hurdles prior to his run in the Fred Winter last season. That probably came too soon in his career and he remains with potential.
|
Fairly useful on Flat and bright start over timber when winning by 11 lengths at Newbury. Last of 18 finishes in Fred Winter but proved his well-being when running well on last month's Flat return.
|
Decisive winner on Ludlow hurdles debut and good second to Thyme White in Musselburgh listed event in February. Never figured in Fred Winter at Cheltenham Festival final outing but this more suitable.
|
French bumper winner who took another step forward when making all at Kempton (2m) in January. Backed that up when fourth to Thyme White in Musselburgh listed event but well held in Fred Winter since.
|
Quickly made up into a fairly useful hurdler last season, winning 2 of his 4 starts, and last month's Flat outing at Ayr should have put him spot for his return to hurdles.
|
Fairly useful on the Flat in France and has improved in this sphere following a wind operation, running out a wide-margin winner at Fontwell (17.7f) last week. Makes plenty of appeal under a penalty.
|
Showed further improvement under a positive ride to score on Fakenham handicap hurdle debut in December. Up 7 lb in a much deeper race on return but has the benefit of a recent spin on the Flat.
|
Got on top close home in 2m juvenile event at Wetherby at Christmas. Failed to stay at Perth (23.9f) last time and now back down in trip but others appeal more.
|
Placed in bumpers and made a successful debut over hurdles in Warwick juvenile in December. Limitations exposed thereafter and faces no easy task on return from 4 lb out of the weights.

Vorashann (5/4), Thyme White (6/1), Blacko (7/1), Goobinator (15/2), Fraser Island (14/1), Langer Dan (16/1), Olympic Honour (16/1), Running D'or (16/1), Group Stage (18/1), Goa Lil (20/1), Maskada (20/1), The Pink'n (33/1), Hasankey (40/1)
It was by no means a strong race VORASHANN won at Fontwell last week, but he did it very easily and looks well-in under a 6-lb penalty on that evidence. Goobinator quickly made up into a fairly useful hurdler last season and has warmed up for this with a spin on the Flat at Ayr, so he's an interesting contender, as are Thyme White and Blacko, who remain the types to do better at some stage.
