5/2
Produced a promising first effort when second in a Galway bumper for Declan Queally in autumn 2021 and returned to win a 2m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle last summer. Absent again since but clearly capable when fresh and likely has more to offer. Tongue tie goes on. Leading claims.

10/11
Point winner who built on the encouragement of his hurdle debut at the second attempt when winning a C&D novice in December. Bit better than result (prominent for long way) when seventh on 17f Carlisle handicap debut since. Likely to go well back in a novice.

Made the frame in 2 Irish points in spring 2021 but sold for only £5,000 subsequently and it's taken a long time for new connections to get him to the track. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Just modest form when placed in a Southwell bumper in November and more one for the longer term in this sphere judged on his opening effort in a C&D novice 39 days ago.

Maiden Irish pointer showed who has been eighth in maiden/novice hurdles at Carlisle since switching to Rules. Likely he's more one for handicaps after this.

Fair stayer on the Flat for Julie Camacho. 12/1, showed some aptitude for hurdling when fourth off 11 in Newcastle novice 14 days ago. May do better.

Kayf Tara mare. Half-sister to bumper winner Pennine Cross. Dam smart 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 25f) Mr Thriller. No back number on paper and one to keep a close eye on in the market.

Forecasts

Quick Sharpener (10/11), Halligator (5/2), Letmetellusomethin (15/2), Riggsby (16/1), Annaharvey Lad (16/1), Lincoln Burrows (25/1), Tara Brooch (25/1), Classic Lady (50/1), Lethal Industry (66/1)

Verdict

It may pay to focus on the 2 previous hurdle winners in the line-up, with Kim Bailey's HALLIGATOR taken to make light of another absence and prove too strong for Quick Sharpener. Riggsby is open to progress on the back of his hurdle debut fourth and may prove best of the remainder unless the market vibes are positive surrounding newcomer Tara Brooch.
