8/13
Progressive since joining this yard, landing a handicap at Worcester before easily following up in a Hexham novice. Turned over when odds on at Newcastle (20.3f, good) recently but this drop back in trip looks a good move and she needs considering.

Brother to useful hurdler Teqany (winner around 2m) and fairly useful hurdler Castel Gandolfo (winner around 2m). Fair maiden on Flat and showed aptitude for hurdling when third in a C&D novice in October before unseating at around the halfway point at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Others stronger.

Just minor promise on debut in a Worcester bumper in June but showed plenty to work on switched to hurdles when fourth of 14 in a Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) maiden last month. Likely to do better in due course.

Three-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much in a couple of runs in this sphere, beaten a country mile when third in a 4-runner C&D seller a fortnight ago.

14/1
Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and showed definite promise when runner-up on Rules debut in a Ludlow bumper (15.8f, good). However, he failed to perform to a similar level on subsequent hurdles bow at Newbury and yard saddles a more interesting candidate in Confinentic.

Mere glimmers of ability in a Sandown bumper and 20.5f novice here last winter. Probably capable of better but probably more one for handicaps in due course.

10/3
Half-brother to 4 winners and, having shaped well on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers, this 4-y-o went close on his hurdles debut at Huntingdon (15.8f, good). Easy to pick holes in that form (the first 2 in the market misfired) but he's a big player nonetheless with improvement likely.

Twice a winner of 1¼m handicaps on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh, including on his latest start at Leopardstown in October. Effective at up to 14.5f on the level, stamina shouldn't be an issue now sent hurdling and he's one to consider.

Fair form in France for Francois Nicolle but has generally struggled for this yard.

Posted good second (with hood on) in a Fontwell bumper on NH debut. More encouragement than previously over hurdles when third at that course (17.7f, heavy) on latest start in March but she will need to up her game in order to emerge on top here.

Limited impact in 3 starts so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Fromheretoeternity (8/13), High Fibre (5/2), Korus (10/3), Confinentic (10/1), Fort St Angelo (14/1), Master Dunraven (16/1), Birthday Angel (20/1), Jack Sparrow Grey (22/1), Dance In The Park (33/1), Voix De Bocelli (66/1), Eklil (250/1), Sally Mclennane (250/1)

Verdict

KORUS would have won in another stride on his first go over hurdles at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago and can take this contest with improvement on the cards. Fromheretoeternity is a big player back over 2m, while Master Dunraven is an interesting recruit for Neil Mulholland.
