Fair winner at up to 1¾m on the Flat in Ireland. Found the listed Wensleydale too hot on his Wetherby hurdle debut 5 weeks ago and this isn't much easier. Has had wind surgery since and also fitted with the tongue tie and cheekpieces combination he wore when winning on the Flat.

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France (stays 1½m) but starts out over hurdles in a warm-looking race.

Won a bumper in France. Yard no stranger to success in this race, including with Goshen in 20219, and it'll be interesting to see how he compares in the betting to his stablemate Zarakerjack.

Promising sort. Second of 12 in juvenile hurdle (11/1) at Clairefontaine (17f, soft) for David Cottin in June. Joined Paul Nicholls on the back of that and could have a big say here, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

2m winner on second 2 Flat starts in France. Another who has switched to a leading stable for his hurdle career. Market informative.

Fair form in 3 Flat starts around 1¼m for Harry Eustace. New connections went to 42,000 gns to acquire him in July. Hooded first time. This looks quite a tough introduction to hurdling.
