Hot To Go (G)
Decent jumps pedigree and he left his hurdles debut form in his wake when landing 4-runner maiden hurdle here (15.5f, soft) 64 days ago. More needed under a penalty but he's open to further progress with this step up to 2½m looking sure to…

Skuna Bay (G)
Placed in points and progressive over hurdles, making a winning a winning return in a good time in a Bangor novice (23.1f), impressing with his jumping. Proved a disappointment on chase/handicap bow at Kelso but respected back over the sma…

Starzand (G)
FAV
Wide-margin point/bumper winner who overcame inexperience after 7 months off to maintain his 100% record in a 20f maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in October. Found only a similarly promising one too good under a penalty back there 12 days ago an…

Ubatuba (G)
Successful on completed start in Irish points and created a good impression when landing 8-runner maiden hurdle at this C&D (heavy) on Rules debut 47 days ago, forging clear. Likely to improve.

Bresiliant (G)
Blue Bresil gelding who has shown a bit of promise in a bumper/maiden hurdle nearly 4 years apart. Yard still quiet however and looks best watched a present.

Tombereau (G)
Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Dam unraced half-sister to Hello Sweetie (2m-2¼m winner) and Sorcier du Roi (17f-2½m winner), both fairly useful hurdler/chaser.

Fine As Wine (M)
Finished in the frame on all 4 starts in Irish points earlier in career but comfortably held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Needs this run for a handicap mark.
