15/8

Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and made a winning start in bumpers in 17-runner event at Warwick (2m) 8 months ago, staying on to lead final 50 yds. Step up in trip will suit on hurdle debut and he's an interesting contender.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

9/4

Winning pointer who showed some promise in two runs over hurdles for Tom George. Off 10 months but remains open to improvement for his new yard, Worth a market check.

6/1

Winning Irish pointer who came in second of 5 in bumper (11/10) at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 25 days ago, running on. Much respected on his hurdles debut.

150/1

Didn't show much in a couple of bumpers for Fergal O'Brien last term and a similar story over hurdles for new yard.

Form: 55-9PP

Zain Nights^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham

9/4

Useful Flat stayer for Harry & Roger Charlton. Changed hands for 75,000 gns before eye-catching third at Huntingdon on hurdles debut but failed to build on it when fourth at Doncaster last time. Worth another chance.

The market should reveal plenty but Fergal O'Brien's winning pointer/bumper scorer CHECK THE SCORE gets the vote now starting out in this sphere with this immediate step up in trip looking a plus for this son of Mahler. Grand Albert also merits plenty of respect on his hurdling debut with useful Flat stayer Zain Nights not discounted either along with Dan Skelton's new recruit G A Henty.
