Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: T R George

28/1

Better effort in bumpers early last year when modest third at Worcester (fitted with tongue tie) on second start. Been off for over a year ahead of this switch to hurdles. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien

15/2

£15,000 3-y-o, Milan mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Simply The Betts and useful hurdler Crimson Ark. Hood on. One to note on debut in very winnable contest.

Mairis Icon¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins

5/1

No show in a couple of bumpers but fair bit to like about her 2 efforts over hurdles, running on late in C&D novice a fortnight ago. Has races in her.
