9/1
Useful Flat winner at up to 2m for David Brown. Should be up to making his mark over hurdles but chance he'll need longer trips than this.

Half-brother to useful hurdler Westren Warrior and bumper winner Meep Meep. Sent off 11/4 but could only finish sixth on Ludlow bumper debut last month. Interesting to see if his supporters' return.

Bumper winner for Alastair Ralph. Pulled too hard when fourth on Wetherby hurdle in October. Dropped out and left with too much to do in Haydock listed since. Retains potential with sights lowered.

Won a couple of bumpers in the summer, but looked in need of the experience when 24 lengths second on his Lingfield hurdle debut last month. Should improve.

Modest form in 2 bumpers/novice hurdles. Likely he's more one for handicaps after this.

Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and ought to be up to making his present felt in a race like this now hurdling for a top yard.

€38,000 Muhtathir gelding. Dam, maiden over jumps, out of half-sister to smart but temperamental hurdler (stayed 3m) Westender. 25/1, well held in a Chepstow bumper on debut 37 days ago.

Dual winner on the Flat at Windsor for Eve Johnson-Houghton last summer. Jumping lacked fluency when fifth on his C&D hurdle debut 32 days ago but he should improve with experience.

Knickerbockerglory (8/11), Moveit Like Minnie (5/1), Sword Beach (8/1), Ben Lilly (9/1), Quickbuck (11/1), Forward Plan (12/1), Hartnoll Hero (22/1), Charming Getaway (25/1), Marettimo (33/1), Chadlington Lad (33/1), Chillabella (50/1), Muy Bien (100/1), Rocambolas (150/1), Jump Over The Moon (250/1)

Verdict

KNICKERBOCKERGLORY will need to relax if he's to fulfil his potential over hurdles but he was caught too far back in a Haydock listed race last time and is worth another chance back down in grade. Nicky Henderson's Quickbuck offered enough in bumpers to suggest he has a future over hurdles so he's feared most ahead of Moveit Like Minnie, who can build on his opening hurdle run.
