Ayyadieh (G)
Failed to make an impact in a couple of maiden points and beaten a long way when third on Rules debut in a 17f Carlisle novice hurdle last month.

Francky Blue (G)
Showed a glimmer of ability when fifth of 13 in bumper at Chepstow (2m, soft) on debut in November. Decent jumps pedigree and should make his mark over hurdles (and probably fences in due course) but others make more appeal on this occasio…

Garavogue (G)
[H]
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Drop Out Joe (2½m-3¼m winner). Equipped with a hood (retained) when fifth of 12 on his introduction at Hereford (16.2f, soft), leaving the strong impression that a stiffer test is already …

Josh Central (G)
[H1]
Very low-key in a trio of bumpers and hurdles debut at Bangor was hardly promising. Now tried in a hood.

Kastellion (G)
31,000 buy after finishing second on sole start in Irish points last spring. Some positives to take from hurdles debut sixth at Chepstow but failed to build on that over 20.5f here next time (since undergone wind surgery).

Charlie Deutsch | Mrs M Rowley | 6 | 73.5 kg |

| 5th | 6 | — |
Le Fabuleux Buck's (G)
Encouraging fifth of 14 on hurdles bow in a Southwell maiden (15.8f, good to soft) early last month. Likely to come on for that but he's another who may well be seen in a better light in handicaps later on.

Freddie Keighley | M Keighley | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Mister Ursus (G)
[H]
Multiple scorer on the Flat in France and, equipped with a first-time hood (retained), didn't shape at all badly when fourth in a 9-runner Bangor novice (16.7f, heavy) on debut in this sphere. Open to improvement and merits respect for las…

Saint Polo (G)
Appears to be brought along gradually with handicaps in mind and is probably one to look at more seriously when he eventually ventures down that route.

Seaview Rock (G)
FAV
[H]
Sold for £72,000 after finishing a close third on sole start between the flags and, though the pair that beat him that day haven't achieved much under Rules since, this 6-y-o made a most encouraging debut over hurdles when second to a prog…

Sutherland (G)
Fair form in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and left hurdles/yard debut form behind when second in a 14-runner Southwell maiden (15.8f, good to soft) last month. Perhaps lacks the potential of one or two of these but he should nevertheless ha…

Three Dons (G)
Eight-time winner on the Flat and performed above market expectations (sent off at 14/1) when splitting a couple of decent types (front 3 well clear of the rest) on hurdles debut over C&D (heavy) last month. Can be expected to improve on t…

Annie Mcgrath (M)
Ran out sole start in points and she didn't shape like an imminent winner waiting to happen when fifth of 6 starting out over hurdles at Catterick last month.
