Buddah Castle (G)
Idled/hung right when winning the second of his 2 starts in points and again showed a quirky side despite managing to make a successful hurdling debut at Sedgefield in December. More needed under a penalty.

Eagles Reprieve (G)
Bumper winner who's getting better over hurdles and was off the mark in maiden at Kelso in November. More needed under a penalty but likely still not got close to his peak.

Le Beau Madrik (G)
FAV
Went one better than on both starts in bumpers when taking 17f maiden hurdle here in November, scoring with a bit in hand in the end after a slightly troubled passage up the straight. Should be plenty more to come up in trip and can defy a…

Ivan's Legacy (G)
[T1]
Modest form at best when fourth on all 3 bumper starts and well held both starts over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Loulou Madrik (G)
Maiden Irish pointer who left previous 2 efforts well behind when second of 16 in novice hurdle (125/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Must be respected on the back of that.

Return To Florida (G)
Well held on his completed start between the flag but offered something to work on when third in a Musselburgh bumper, shaping like a stayer.

Moonlight Trail (M)
Best effort when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 32 days ago, considerately handled. Seemingly being brought along with low-grade handicaps over still longer trips in mind.
