Forcetoreckonwith
Clearcut point winner last October but was weak in market and pulled hard when well held in 2m3f maiden hurdle at Wetherby last month; has potential but will need to settle better for the application of a hood.

Jokers 'N' Clowns
Point winner; had nine goes over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland, finishing placed just once and subsequently sold cheaply; more encouragement on debut for new yard when second of five at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last Thursday, headed last after making running and jumping right; cheekpieces (worn once in Ireland) back on today; should be thereabouts.

Kalize
Comes from yard that does well in bumpers but she was twice well held in that sphere in 2024 (wind surgery in between); bit to prove now hurdling.

Soleil D'arizona
1m3f winner on Flat in France; made much of running when second of nine at Exeter (2m, good) on hurdling debut last autumn, pulling clear with winner; pulled hard and bled at Wetherby five weeks later; now returns from five months off after a breathing operation, in a first-time tongue-strap and a re-fitted hood; risky but clearly talented.

Susiesparkle
Won 1m2f AW handicap at Newcastle in February and creditable third twice since; modest form in three hurdles runs over the winter, best effort on debut; may have a future in this sphere but needs to improve to win this.
