Top of the list is JACK N JONES, who won her sole Irish point in 2023 and returned from a long absence with a front-running second on rules debut at Plumpton 15 days ago. That was a promising effort behind her main market rival and she sets the standard on that form. Claim Du Brizais, who has had wind surgery since a disappointing run at Warwick in February, is feared most ahead of Eastern Shores, who was bought for £70,000 after her point win last spring.[David Moon]

Bought for £130,000 after finishing second in Irish point last February; eyecatching third on bumper/stable debut at Aintree (good) in the autumn but was a well-held third when favourite at Warwick (soft) in February; bit to prove after another break but she's had wind surgery and could bounce back with a big run back on quicker ground; tongue-tie added.
Slipped up in her first Irish point but she won the second one last April and was bought for £70,000 the following month; out of a half-sister to bumper/smart hurdle winner Alpha Ridge and she needs a close look now switched to rules on her comeback; tongue-tie on.
Won her sole Irish point (3m, good) in March 2023; back from long absence at Plumpton (2m1f, good) 15 days ago but she was well backed and gave it a good shot from the front before finishing second of nine; sets the standard on that form and she's strongly respected.
Twelfth foal; half-sister to five winners including Sir Note (useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase), Niagara L'Amandour (French 2m hurdle) and Absainte (3m1f hunter chase); dam French 2m5f chase winner, out of 1m7f-2m3f hurdle/chase winner; yard 0-3 in bumpers in recent seasons and she could be on for later on.
Showed some promise when 12l fourth on Wincanton debut (1m7f, heavy) in January but she failed to build on that on good ground at Southwell (seventh of ten) last month; blinkers now return but others are preferred.
1,200gns 2yo; fifth foal; dam 7f AW winner (RPR 78), half-sister to French 6.5f AW Listed winner Fond Words, out of 7f-1m2f Listed winner; this looks a tough starting point and she's probably best watched; tongue-tie applied.
Sixth foal; half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Fricka; dam bumper winner, is granddaughter of German Oaks third Santina; has fair standard to aim at on debut and others look more likely; cheekpieces applied.
