First Past The Post At CopyBet 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Runner-up in a point/bumper and has improved with each start over hurdles, chasing home a now-useful prospect at Catterick in December, without looking the finished article (hung left before last). May do better again in first-time tongue strap.

Didn't improve on debut form but shaped better than the result when fourth in 16-runner maiden at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) in January. That form isn't anything out of the ordinary, though, and he's likely to be better off in handicaps.

Point winner who showed fair form to place in multiple maiden hurdles between 2½m-3m for Paul Nolan in Ireland but has yet to fire for Dan Skelton. Too soon to write off, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

Down the field in bumper on sole start for Willie Mullins and while he won a point in November last year, he's showed nothing over hurdles for new yard.

Placed in points but offered little in a Sedgefield bumper on Rules debut over 2 years ago.

Point winner remains with no form under Rules.

Good-looking point winner built on previous hurdle promise when going close upped in trip at Catterick (25.3f, soft) last time and while step back in trip may not prove ideal, he still has plenty of potential and should get his own way in front.

Shaped well in bumpers in 2022 but no show in pair of hurdles this season following a significant absence.
