Irish point runner-up who showed promise for his new yard when runner-up in Hexham bumper in October. Only seventh in similar company at Uttoxeter following month but offered something to work on sent hurdling when third of 4 at Ayr in December. Off since but in good hands.

Still a maiden but placed in handicaps on the Flat and over hurdles for his new yard in recent months. Latest Worcester run over 23f was a backward step.

Third foal, half-sister to 2 point winners, dam point winner. Successful between the flags herself and caused a major surprise when making winning Rules debut at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Bare form isn't anything to get carried away with, though.

Runner-up in a bumper and also found only one too good on first couple of starts over hurdles at Downpatrick this spring. Yet to be asked for effort when unseating rider back there last time and he sets the standard.

Out of a winning hurdler/chaser and offered plenty of encouragement when third at Musselburgh on debut. Failed to build on that and after in bumpers and probably a longer-term project over hurdles.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Brewers Project (winner around 2m, by Aizavoski). Placed completed start in Irish points and given a considerate ride when fifth on recent hurdles debut.

Well held in 2 bumpers and looks one for further down the line over obstacles.

Mount Nelson filly who found listed race too much at Cheltenham in November but plenty of promise when runner-up either side of that at Sedgefield. Major player on return now hurdling.

Had her share of jumping issues early in career and no impact at Sligo a week ago. Stablemate Step Out looks much more likely.

9/2
Point winner who shaped well after 6 months off when finding only a progressive one too good in mares' handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) in November. Perhaps found 25.4f too much of a test on May's return. Back in novice company.

Tailed off in an Aintree bumper in November and fared no better sent hurdling.

Little in the way of promise so far.

Forecasts

Step Out (10/11), Backdoorflush (4/1), Lady Mendoza (9/2), Kandor (9/1), Perfect Arch (16/1), Pop The Question (25/1), Peekaboo Paddy (25/1), Yakaleo (33/1), Kimjoy (50/1), Away She Goes (66/1), You Will Be Found (100/1), Wee Vee (150/1), Apples Destiny (250/1)

Verdict

STEP OUT sets the standard on a couple of runner-up efforts at Downpatrick during the spring, and yet to be asked for his effort when unseating last time, he can get it right here. Backdoorflush brings fair bumper form to the table now hurdling so she commands respect, with Lady Mendoza also considered.
