A handful of these make some appeal with FEACH AMACH, Hay Meadow, Bishop Hill and Parisian Fashion all arriving in good form. The first-named has taken time to recapture form after her 3yo promise on the Flat in Ireland and over hurdles but wind surgery may have helped and there should be another race in her despite the steep rise for her recent win. Hay Meadow can be next best ahead of Parisian Fashion.[Emily Weber]

Hurdling for nearly three years and never better than in the autumn, when coming clear in 2m5f Kelso novice (good) in October; found out by the combination of 3m and the switch to Listed company when last seen in November but she can't be left out back in a handicap.
Most recent win was last April but she put up some good efforts at 2m1f-2m5f until soundly beaten returned to a handicap last month; perhaps other days as best form on good to soft/soft; now tongue tied.
Both hurdle wins at 2m (good to soft and soft) in November 2023; lightly raced with mixed results since but she can go well fresh and the pick of her form at about this trip gives her claims.
Lightly raced; promising for Jonjo O'Neill but was pulled up on yard debut in March (without usual tongue-tie, refitted today) when back from another layoff; had wind surgery since; might need another run or two.
Irish point winner who's since won a course bumper (good) and an Ayr novice hurdle (2m4f, soft), overturning the hot but below-par favourite (who ran a cracker in a Grade 1 since) on the latter occasion; versatile ground-wise and he's an interesting newcomer to handicaps.
Irish point winner; showed promise in a warm Haydock race on hurdle debut and produced her best effort yet when making all at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month; has potential at this level for the first time.
Suited by 2m4f at Musselburgh (good to soft) in February, when the cause looked lost but she kept on gamely to beat a subsequent winner, leading near the line; disappointing when pulled up over 2m next time, considering she'd run well over the trip in January; remains of interest back at 2m4f.
Maiden; has shown enough, including over C&D, to think she'll find a race soon and there's little between her and Parisian Fashion on Newcastle form (2m4f, good) in March, where she might have needed the run; likely to be thereabouts.
Has rather ebbed and flowed since Irish point win before showing useful bumper form and she didn't run well on handicap debut at Wetherby in February (cheekpieces added, now discarded); still too early to rule out.
Sole hurdle win in France during 2023; has not looked well treated since trained in Britain and she found little at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February; this first experience of good ground might improve matters.
Consistent level of form either side of her first win, in a 2m5f handicap at Ayr (good) last March but she's been off since a lesser effort last May; needs to be at full strength to have a chance today.
Flat ability in Ireland as 3yo (RPR 80) and won a juvenile hurdle that year; 2024 was a washout but she readily came clear at Sedgefield (2m4f, good; cheekpieces added) on second run for yard and first since wind surgery; up 12lb in a better race but it might not be beyond her.
Nothing significant in first four hurdles at about 2m4f but bred to do better and she gave it a good shot when a close fourth on handicap debut at Kelso yesterday; 7lb out of the weights if turning out again.
