Healthy strike rate initially over fences but lost his form towards the end of last campaign, so returns with a bit to prove against less-exposed types.
|
Fair hurdler who made a positive start in this sphere towards the end of last season. Likely needed his return over the smaller obstacles at Warwick last month and looks well worth considering.
|
Point winner who achieved a fairly useful level over hurdles. Should be ready to go and makes plenty of appeal on first go over fences.
|
Fairly useful hurdler who shaped as if he'd returned in form when fourth in a handicap at Bangor last month. Should take to chasing, so one to consider.
|
Emphatic winner over hurdles at Fakenham in February but wasn't in the same form at Warwick 8 months ago. Yard isn't really firing but he's a chasing type on looks.
|
Modest form in bumpers but much better signs over hurdles, confirming debut promise when landing 2m novice at Warwick in March. Signed off with a poor run but stables runners tend to do better over fences.
|
French juvenile hurdle winner last spring who produced his best effort yet on these shores when third in a Fontwell handicap (21.8f, good) in February. Creditable efforts both starts since and has the physique for chasing, so worthy of respect after 6 months off.
|
Fair hurdler who was in form when last seen and should be tuned up for this first crack at chasing. Not discounted.
|
Just modest form over hurdles but bumper form gives him the scope for better and he has enough size for chasing. Worth monitoring in the market back from 5 months off.
|
Successful on sole outing in Irish points and was getting his act together over hurdles towards the end of last season, opening his account in a novice at Fontwell when last seen 176 days ago. Looks a player on return.
|
Three-time hurdles winner, the latest at Exeter (16.7f, soft) a year ago. Held form after and could feature if taking to this new discipline.
|
Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. Creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle (8/11) at Chepstow (16f, soft), clear of rest. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Should be tuned up and boasts solid claims.
|
Won 4 times in a very productive first season over fences but generally disappointing last term. Returns on a handy mark as a result, so worth a market check.
|
Fair hurdler who was more miss than hit last season and is likely to need this initial experience of chasing after 9 months off.
|
Winning pointer who has made the frame on a couple of occasions over hurdles but hasn't made any impact switched to handicap company and looks up against it on chasing debut after 7 months off.

Forecasts
Big Blue Moon (6/1), Hot Rod Lincoln (13/2), Hurlerontheditch (8/1), Sporting Mike (8/1), Doyouknowwhatimean (10/1), Pachacuti (10/1), King's Threshold (10/1), Invincible Nao (10/1), Pilsdon Pen (10/1), Zestful Hope (12/1), King Of Brazil (14/1), File Illico (14/1), Has Troke (16/1), Kap Auteuil (20/1), Grey D'alco (20/1)
SPORTING MIKE was pretty reliable over hurdles last season and, as a winning pointer, he appeals as the type to do better in this sphere, so he's worth chancing to make a successful return in an open race. Zestful Hope is a danger with a run under his belt and Big Blue Moon is another notable chasing newcomer.
