Arnie Moon (G)
Too free in bumpers but showed more than first time up over hurdles when third of 9 in maiden at this course (16.5f, soft) 9 days ago. Should stay this longer trip but needs to find another chunk of improvement to be competitive.

Placed both starts in points but lacks scope and has been well held both outings over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Doctor On Call (G)
Made winning NH debut in 11-runner bumper (3/1) at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) in December 2024, pushed out. Similar form when placed both starts over hurdles this term and one of the more likely contenders.

Five Bar Gate (G)
Point bumper winner who improved on Rules debut form to land 7-runner bumper at Plumpton (17.8f, soft) 47 days ago. This son of Gatewood is very much one to consider now stepping up in trip on hurdles debut.

Georges Street (G)
€38,000 3-y-o, £7,000 4-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat, half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Sharjah. Unpromising in points and sold cheaply.

Harbour Island (G)
FAV
Unbeaten in 2 bumpers last winter and made an encouraging start to hurdles career when second of 7 in Carlisle novice (2m, soft) on return. Took a step in the wrong direction at Newbury next time, but his profile remains broadly positive a…

Joyau Allen (G)
Runner-up sole start in Irish points before making a winning start under Rules in an Exeter bumper in January 2024. Chased home a smart type at the same course a month later but has made a discouraging start to hurdling career back from a …

Kilwaughter (G)
Useful in bumpers last season. Disappointing start to his hurdle career at Chepstow in October but much improved when fourth of 14 at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 43 days ago and appeals as the type to progress further now stepping up in trip.

Nice One Eric (G)
Promise when in the frame in a Worcester bumper and encouragement again when eighth of 15 in Newbury novice (16.3f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere in November. Should improve with longer trip promising to suit.

October Hill (M)
Showed modest form when placed all 4 outings over hurdles in Ireland and ran about as well as could be expected up in grade on first outing for this yard in listed event here (16.6f) 18 days ago. One to consider back in calmer waters.

Picked up for £60,000 after finishing runner-up on the second of her 2 starts between the flags last year. Joined a leading yard after but was always behind on Exeter bumper debut.
