Looked a useful prospect when making second hurdle start a winning one at Wetherby (2m, heavy) last month. Open to further progress and looks capable of defying a penalty.

Left previous efforts behind when landing a gamble on 2m Uttoxeter handicap debut 25 days ago. Likely capable of better again and the obvious threat to Franigane.

Well held in Catterick bumper on debut in December and didn't achieve much when remote third in Sedgefield novice hurdle since. Plenty of improvement needed.

Promise both starts in bumpers but beaten a long way on Ayr hurdle debut 17 days ago. Early days but big step up required.

£5,000 Kalanisi gelding. Dam unraced. Will need to be useful to make a winning start to his career here.

Made a winning debut in a small-field Carlisle bumper (soft) last March. That was a weak race but he still rates an interesting sort for hurdles.

Out of a mare from the family of Many Clouds but he looks more one for handicaps further down the line based on what we've seen so far.

Bought for £7,500 after running out the fortunate winner of a 2-finisher point a year ago. Best watched now hurdling.

Third in a Clonmel bumper but that very much a standout from 6 attempts in that sphere for Ronald O'Neill in Ireland. 80/1, unseated on Carlisle hurdle debut for new yard 24 days ago.

Scorpion mare from a good jumping family. Limited impact in a couple of mares' bumpers in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell last summer and distant fourth on Kelso hurdle debut for new yard.
