Cloghan Castle
Ex-Irish pointer who was runner-up on his last two starts in March/April, the second over 3m on good ground (made much of the running); hood is now tried; quite interesting on stable/hurdles debut.

Do Ye Wanna
Modest efforts in bumpers and three runs over hurdles (all at around 2m/2m1f); needs to improve markedly for this significant step up in trip.

Dreamings Free
Exposed 13-race maiden over hurdles; fair second off a low mark in a C&D handicap last week (good to soft); this is a harder race but each-way chance.

Eastern Storm
Pulled up in this race last season; won a two-runner UK point in January (2m4f, good to soft) but hasn't fared as well since; bit to prove.

Foxwood
Nine-race maiden over hurdles; fair run when third in a 2m handicap here last June (2m, good); having first run at further than 2m4f and needs improvement.

Pike Road
Yet to win in six starts over hurdles but decent third in a Haydock novice (2m5f, good; 6-5 favourite) and a handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; cheekpieces first time) on last two starts; headgear retained; chance.

Saint Malinas
Irish point winner in February 2024 (3m, heavy); fair efforts both starts over hurdles but didn't look entirely straightforward when third to subsequent winner at Carlisle last time (2m3f, good to soft; hung left); this left-handed track should suit, however, and he's a major player.
