9/4 |
Inside Man
2-7 over hurdles; has hefty 12lb penalty to shoulder here but returned from break with good second in Exeter handicap (2m, good) this month and ought to play a significant role.

Sage Green
Irish point winner who left his disappointing bumper debut a long way behind when causing 40-1 surprise in Warwick novice hurdle (2m, good; first-time hood) six weeks ago; that form is quite tricky to evaluate but, nevertheless, he goes on the shortlist here.

Blackijo Dagrostis
Maiden pointer; ran well for a long way in Stratford selling hurdle (2m2f, good) last month, his second start under rules, but finished weakly there and needs significant improvement.

- David Bass / H D Daly

Cuillin Ridge
Did not look straightforward and showed only minor promise in his two bumpers; best watched on this hurdling debut.

Ifan Full Pelt
Well beaten before falling at third-last flight on hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) two weeks ago; can't be recommended.

Portcammon
Comfortably won Rosocommon bumper on debut for Willie Mullins in summer 2023 but left that stable after rather underwhelming hurdle debut in September and did not get seriously competitive on his first two starts for Neil Mulholland.

Zaochen Enki
Runner-up on debut in France last summer and won very comfortably when reappearing for Paul Nicholls at Wincanton (1m7f, good; first-time hood) last month; could easily have a lot more to offer and makes obvious appeal.

Golden Echo
Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 64) and made quite promising stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in February; not ruled out each-way.

Another Lifetime
Made low-key debut on the Flat in Ireland in September, but kept on for very respectable third in Southwell novice (1m3f, AW; RPR 71) in December; now with another new stable for hurdling career; market may guide.

Conniemak
Made fairly encouraging debut when third of six in C&D (heavy) junior hurdle in January, but was safely held on good ground at Taunton last month; others in this line-up look much stronger.
