Bank On Frank
Second in 2m4f maiden point in February 2023; beaten 23l or more in his three novice hurdles this winter but he did catch the eye of the stewards' when third at Lingfield last time, with explanations noted; Ben Jones takes over from a 7lb claimer now; has a bigger performance in him before long.

Flimsy Nosebag
Displayed ability in a couple of good-ground bumpers at Ascot but pulled up at 50-1 on hurdle debut at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in December and has to leave that performance miles behind.

Forlano
Showed a bit in his bumpers but well beaten switched to hurdles after a long absence at Kempton last month.

Fravanco
Two AW Flat wins since contesting a couple of bumpers in 2022-23 have come at a modest level and he'd be a surprise winner on hurdle debut.

Saccary
Quite a useful Flat performer in France/Germany but this 6yo hasn't shown much in two maiden hurdles since joining David Pipe; has a hood added now; unlikely to be of interest until handicapping.

- The Long Walk
- Jonjo O'neill Jr. / J & A O'neill

7/2 |
The Long Walk
Placed in his first two bumpers (good/soft) and it was a valuable race when only sixth at Windsor latest; should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

- Bryan Carver / H Fry

4/5 |
Walk On High
Now 0-7 over hurdles but latest 2m Taunton handicap second to the progressive Saint Anapolino was his best run yet; a repeat of that form should see him go close at the least back in a maiden.

Warfleet
Runner-up in a Market Rasen bumper last summer (for Barry Brennan) but the form is ordinary and he was well held in a stronger race back there for this new yard in December; probably best watched now hurdling.

Ask Peter
Fair three-time Flat winner at up to 1m6f for Charlie Johnston; has been off for 502 days ahead of this hurdle debut with a tongue-tie added; this race lacks depth but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of absence.

Le Tiep's Sacre
Changed hands for 150,000euros after placing on both French runs and made a promising start for new connections when third in 2m Sandown novice (soft)) three weeks ago; should progress and go well.
