Well held both starts in bumpers last spring for Pam Sly. Could only consider if backed now hurdling for Mick Appleby.

Fair form in bumpers. Made a disappointing start to his hurdle career at Fakenham on New Year's Day but it's too soon to write him off in this sphere.

In top hands but well beaten in a bumper and maiden hurdle in recent months. First-time cheekpieces need to have a transformative effect.

Runner-up in a point. Has shown definite ability when fifth in a bumper and maiden hurdle for Olly Murphy and may prove the answer here.

Fair form standout effort in bumpers but took little interest when pulled on Downpatrick hurdle debut. Has left Gordon Elliott and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Hooded first time.

Malinas gelding who is bred to stay very well and has shaped that way in a bumper/2 maiden hurdles so far. Sticks at 2m again but still much respected in a race where few boast compelling claims.

150/1 when well held in a Carlisle maiden hurdle in February 2023. Absent since and can only watch with a tongue tie added now.

Modest on Flat (stays 1½m) but did win a Hamilton handicap on her final outing for Julie Camacho and starts out over hurdles in an ordinary race. Enters the reckoning.

Forecasts

Unleash The Beast (5/4), Karton Plein (13/8), Golden Echo (6/1), Berkshire Lad (12/1), Barleythorpe (20/1), Hestina Hill (33/1), Urblereagh (40/1), Pay The Tab (40/1), Majestic Mia (125/1), Gemi Cat (150/1)

Verdict

KARTON PLEIN gets a narrow vote over Fergal O'Brien's Unleash The Beast in a maiden hurdle where previous form is very thin on the ground. Anthony Honeyball Flat recruit Golden Echo is another who could have a part to play.

  1. Karton Plein13/8
  2. Unleash The Beast5/4
  3. Golden Echo6/1
