Hold The Serve (G)
FAV
[T]
Won sole point last winter. Well held on Cheltenham hurdle debut in November but different proposition with a tongue tie added when landing 2½m Wincanton novice in December. Useful prospect.

Constantinian (G)
[T]
Course bumper winner last March. Ran to a barely modest level when beaten 14 lengths into second on Hereford hurdle debut (2m, good) in November but should be able to better that form.

James Davies | O Signy | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Inca (G)
£20,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on his completed start in Irish points but no show in 2 hurdle runs for new yard in May 2024 and absent since.

Benjamin Poste | C Hobson | 8 | 72.1 kg |

Shotgun Rider (G)
[T1]
Picked up for £155,000 after winning Irish point last spring. Had wind op before a promising second of 8 in maiden at Leicester (20.5f heavy) on his debut last month. Open to progress with tongue tie added.

Toby McCain-Mitchell | N & W Twiston-Davies | 5 | 72.1 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | — |
Typhoon Warrior (G)
Showed promise when fourth in both bumper starts and his pedigree suggests this longer trip should suit now hurdling for top stable.

Yummy (G)
Never dangerous in bumper and 2 maiden hurdles. Typhoon Warrior looks the Skelton first string here.

| 5th | 7 | — |
Dilly's Gunner (M)
Promising second in first of 2 bumper starts last winter but her 2 efforts over hurdles this time round suggest she won't be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.
|
Tom Midgley | M & D Easterby | 5 | 68.9 kg |

|
| 6th | 8 | — |
Redeeming Love (M)
£78,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point but hasn't shown any short-term promise in an Ayr bumper and Wetherby novice hurdle for new connections.

Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 6 | 68.9 kg |

Betting forecast: Hold The Serve (2/5), Shotgun Rider (7/2), Constantinian (11/2), Typhoon Warrior (12/1), Dilly's Gunner (40/1), Redeeming Love (66/1), Yummy (125/1), Inca (250/1)
