Forever Louie (G)
Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Ryedale Racer. Built on debut promise when second in 7-runner bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 40 days ago, lacking pace of winner. Longer trip should suit…

Just Golden (G)
[T1]
Successful on second of 2 starts in bumpers and is improving over hurdles for top yard, finishing ahead of couple of next-time-out winners at Newcastle prior to going close in a much stronger maiden at Cheltenham (20.2f) on New Year's Day.…

Nosy Neighbour (G)
Made frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points and promising start to Rules career (despite some novicey jumping) when third of 11 in Southwell maiden (15.8f, good to soft), no match for front pair who have progressed since. Will be suit…

Solid Performer (G)
Well-built, lightly-raced 8-y-o. Winner sole start in points and has made an encouraging start over hurdles, finishing third in a pair of maidens around 2½m, latterly when still looking a work in process at Ayr (soft) earlier this month. C…

The Dog Thief (G)
€10,000 3-y-o. Closely related to fairly useful hurdlers Oneofthesenights (stayed 2¾m) and Operation Overlord (stayed 2½m). Successful sole outing in points in December and market can guide on first start under Rules.

Callmesusie (M)
Sole win from 14 starts in points and only minor promise on bumper debut. Has displayed more temperament than ability over hurdles, refusing to race at Wetherby prior to showing nothing at Fakenham last time. Easy to look elsewhere.
