Hara Kirih688
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Murphy| OR:  96
Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers and some promise to glean from his exploits in novice hurdles for Alex Hales during first half of last year. Lengthy absence to overcome but no big surprise to see him hit the ground running now handicapping on debut for new yard.

Letthedustsettle18
Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: Conor Ring(3)| T: T Lacey| OR:  96
Successful on his sole outing in points and has shaped with promise on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months. Longer trips may suit ideally but worth noting if the market speaks in his favour now handicapping.

One Last Glancet40
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: Luke Scott(5)| T: T R Gretton| OR:  90
Fair maiden hurdler who proved he retains all of his ability on the back of a 20-month absence when 1 length second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (2m) 6 weeks ago. Not out of things from 1 lb higher mark.

Little Pi34
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: H Cobden| T: M Sheppard| OR:  88| D
Lightly-raced maiden who showed further improvement to open his account on second start in handicaps at Ludlow (15.7f) in November, overcoming late mistakes in the process. May do better still provided he can keep the errors at bay.

Penpal229
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-13| J: Alice Stevens(5)| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  81
French claiming winner who justified good support from a career-low mark at Newcastle (16.8f) back in the spring. Absent since but worth noting he's gone well fresh previously and he's in the mix with his yard amongst the winners.

Feach Amach45
Age: 3|  Weight: 10-10| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR:  93
Fair maiden on the Flat for Jim Bolger and improved plenty on opening hurdles exploits when landing 8-runner Sedgefield juvenile (16.8f) 45 days ago, leading final 100 yds as favourite faltered. Still, she's one of the likelier types now handicapping.

Invincible Wish539
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-9| J: Tabitha Worsley(3)| T: S-J Davies| OR:  77
Veteran who has been absent since finishing pulled up at Stratford in July 2022. Best watched on this belated hurdles return.

Man Of The North228
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-7| J: Jay Tidball(5)| T: Dave Roberts| OR:  75| CD
C&D winner who ran best race for some time when second over fences at Newton Abbot (21f) in April. However, below form both starts thereafter and passed over returning from 7 months off.

Milton Boyp169
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Bromley(5)| T: N J Hawke| OR:  69
Little impact in trio of novice/maiden hurdles at around 2m last term and fared no better on return/handicap debut at Plumpton (15.9f) in October. Much more needed with cheekpieces now reached for.

Forecasts

Penpal (11/4), Little Pi (7/2), Feach Amach (4/1), One Last Glance (5/1), Letthedustsettle (7/1), Hara Kiri (10/1), Man Of The North (16/1), Invincible Wish (25/1), Milton Boy (33/1)

Verdict

Claims can be made for a few and it could just be worth chancing HARA KIRI. He has a lengthy absence to overcome but it would be no real surprise to see him hit the ground running for his new yard with his opening mark potentially very lenient. 3-y-o Feach Amach, Penpal and Little Pi head up the dangers.
