7/4

Comment: Point winner who came on from his rules debut to win a course bumper in facile style; form done no favours since and different ground this time with rain likely but has to be high on the shortlist with the step up in trip likely to yield improvement.

Comment: Point winner who won in better style than the winning margin suggested on rules debut at Tipperary; possibly didn't take to AW in a Lingfield bumper when turned over at 2-7 but could easily bounce back now hurdling and the new trip ought to suit.

Comment: Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April 2024 (20.5f, gd-yld); best effort since a 6l second of 15 at Navan (2m4f, yld-sft) in December and that form has had a few boosts; has had a couple of sharpeners on the Flat and she could go well back over timber.

Comment: Dual-purpose mare; without a win since August 2023 but shaped like her turn was near here last time out when beaten just 1.75l into third on good ground; should go well again off 2lb higher, though the forecast rain is a concern.

Comment: Veteran went close in a 2m3f bumper (good) here last July in this headgear combination; well beaten minus the hood on return from 312 days off in a 2m3f maiden hurdle here (good); will strip fitter now and the hood returns but lots more needed.
