Hurdles winner in France who has been holding his form well in defeat over fences but should have got off the mark back from a break at Doncaster in March, tied up final 50 yds. That was a fourth defeat after trading at odds on in-running and probably the type that needs playing as late as possible.

Front runner who took advantage of a drop in the weights when making his second start over fences a winning one at Hereford last month. Backed that up with a good second at Fontwell (clear of rest) and should go well again with headgear applied.

Quirky sort whose record was mixed over fences last season, though did with at Southwell off 2 lb lower. Possibly needed the run back hurdling after 5 months off at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago.

Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and showed a fair bit when second in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Perth on second start under Rules last spring. However, has failed to build on that since and offered little on chase bow at Leicester in January.

Bumper winner for Stuart Crawford in 2021. Lightly-raced since and little to shout about for Henry Hogarth but landed a significant gamble starting out for this yard at Bangor after 4 months off last week and very much one to be interested in now.
