9/4
Fairly useful bumper winner who showed plenty when runner-up first 2 outings over hurdles. Failed to capitalise on what had looked a very good opportunity at Fontwell in February but made no mistake at Wincanton when last seen in April. Should be in the mix under a penalty on reappearance.

2/1
Debut bumper winner who also made a successful start over hurdles (fitted with a hood) in 4-runner novice at Aintree in May. Looked slightly more straightforward when following up over C&D and didn't do a lot wrong under a penalty when second at Cartmel in June.

100/1
Showed promise in a bumper on his debut in February 2023 but has failed to repeat that subsequently, not given a hard time once chance of winning had gone here in May.

Modest handicapper at best on Flat (should stay 2m), down the field both starts for current yard. Hurdles debut was hardly brimming with promise.

Made the ideal start with his stable going well when landing an 8-runner bumper at Uttoxeter and also ran out a ready winner at Carlisle in April. Pretty useful hurdles prospect so demands serious respect.

14/1
Backed and shaped encouragingly first time up under a ride of exaggerated patience in Lingfield AW bumper in December. Not in the same form twice since on turf and now goes hurdling on the back of a breathing operation.

Successful on his sole outing in points but has displayed more than his share of temperament over hurdles.

€15,000 3-y-o, El Salvador gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Ingenious Stroke and 2½m chase winner Fit For Fifty. Dam (h86), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m-3m winner) World Wide Web. Placed all 3 starts in Irish points but may need more time under Rules.

£6,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pettifour. Not disgraced both starts in points in spring 2023 but only limited short-term promise on hurdles debut.
