Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs and he came in only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (16f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Fair maiden who posted his best effort when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 6 months ago. Resumes after wind surgery and holds good form claims. Hood is added.

No show in 2 minor events on Flat in 2024. Since sold from Charlie Fellowes's yard for 1,000 gns and much more needed now going hurdling.

Modest 1m Flat winner who came in only eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago. No forlorn hope now starting out in this sphere though.

Fair 14f scorer on Flat for Ed Walker. Went with little fluency when fourth at Yarmouth in August. Usual cheekpieces are fitted for his yard/hurdles debut here.

Runner-up in an Irish point before readily landing a Perth bumper (2m, good to soft) in May for Sean McParlan. A likely player now going hurdling for his new handler.

Poor maiden handicapper on the Flat who came in a creditable fifth of 14 at Newcastle (12.4f) 35 days ago. Possibilities now going hurdling.

A fairly useful 1m2f Flat winner this autumn but he came in last of 11 at Nottingham (10.2f) 31 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back for good yard on his hurdles bow.

Winning Irish pointer and not discredited when fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good) 28 days ago. May do better still.

40/1 and very green when twelfth of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 6 months ago. Goes over hurdles now on the back of wind surgery (tongue strap also on) and not ruled out.

150/1 and hooded, stayed on late when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) on her NH debut 7 months ago. Can take a step forward on her return.

Forecasts

Bongo Man (5/2), Liam Mera Kai (11/4), Not For Passin (10/3), So You Know (13/2), Sir Edward Lear (9/1), Belcamo (12/1), Media Mogul (16/1), Slack Alice (28/1), Gianh River (66/1), Slievehill (80/1), Saachi (125/1), Glancing Back (200/1), Haderach (250/1), Iftikhaar (300/1)

Verdict

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to NOT FOR PASSIN who signed off for Sean McParlan with an impressive Perth bumper victory and can go in at the first time of asking on his yard/hurdles bow. Sir Edward Lear was a fairly useful winner on the level and also commands plenty of respect starting out in this sphere, while Bongo Man rates the pick of those with jumping experience and can also have a say.
