Fairly useful Flat winner (stays 1¼m) who built on a promising hurdling debut display when second of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (16f, good) 25 days ago, the sounder surface likely to have shown him to advantage. Encounters forecast so…

Madame De Labrunie (F)
[T]
Fair form over hurdles in France, including a 17.5f Auteuil claiming success in September. Low-key start for new yard at Newbury in November but more like it when third of 11 in a Taunton juvenile (16.5f) 5 weeks ago, outpaced before keepi…

Wolf Rayet (G)
[T]
Just modest form in 3 Flat outings for Donnacha O'Brien in 2024. Changed hands for 32,000 gns after and encouragement to glean from 2 hurdle runs this winter, equipped with a tongue tie when fourth in Triumph Trial at Cheltenham (16.8f) in…

Silvereen (F)
Silverwave filly who displayed poor form in finishing midfield in a couple of bumpers during second half of last year. Bred for longer trips and she's passed over now attentions switch to hurdling.
