L'astroboy (G)
Landed Ffos Las bumper/maiden hurdle in 2022 before a fine runner-up in Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown in early 2023. Only twice raced since though and came in a well-held sixth of 8 in 2m Sandown handicap last month. Has it to prove now.

Out Of Office (G)
FAV
Point/hurdles scorer in 2022 but very lightly raced subsequently. Hooded after 2 years off when a respectable third of 8 in 2m1f Carlisle handicap hurdle in November. Not ruled out if building on it here.

Col Du Pre' (G)
A fair winner on the Flat and over hurdles in France in 2024. Seen out just twice for his current yard in 2m handicap hurdles at Newbury and Haydock this winter and well held on each occasion. Not easy to make a case for.

Nowmelad (G)
FAV
C&D winner who arrives in good form, second of 8 in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 31 days ago. Needs considering despite a 3 lb rise.

Latin Verse (G)
Reliable sort who was in the process of running well when falling last in 2m Taunton handicap hurdle in February on his final run for Anthony Charlton. Starts out for leading yard off a lenient mark so very much one to consider despite his…

Ukantango (G)
[T]
It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 and he's been off the track for 6 months since posting a creditable fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f). Needs to hit the ground running.
