Mighty Trotter Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 1)

Only modest form required to take a Fontwell maiden on heavy in March. Found life tougher on his next 3 starts and surely vulnerable for win purposes under a penalty on this first outing since June.

Promising second in a Wincanton bumper on debut last November. Only fifth when favourite at Kempton 3 months later but he still achieved fair form and looks to have struck upon a weak race now hurdling on his return from wind surgery.

Six-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat but hasn't taken to hurdling in 3 attempts.

Half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners. Off 10 months after falling on his debut last November and more than hinted at ability when fifth on 2m Warwick return 18 days ago. May do better and might be the one to chase home Roamn Roy.

From a yard in form but he pulled hard and finished well beaten in a Worcester bumper last month. Has a hood fitted now making a quick switch to hurdles.

Well held in a bumper and novice hurdle 5 months apart.

Little show on the Flat ahead of this switch to hurdles.
