Fearless Dragon (G)
14/1, last of 5 in bumper at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 11 months ago. This Dragon Dancer gelding needs to take a major step forward on his hurdles debut.

Follow Your Luck (G)
£90,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Intent Approach. Dam modest maiden hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m). Winning Irish pointer last March so he's a considered hurdling newcomer.

Intenzo (G)
[H]
Down the field sole start for Mary Doyle in Ireland. Hooded and went freely when in the frame in 2m maiden hurdles at Catterick and Newcastle last month. Needs to settle better if he's to take a step forward here.

Noble George (G)
Runner-up first 2 starts in bumpers. Being brought along steadily in this sphere, catching the eye under a patient ride when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Capable of better and worth a market …

Swingingonthesteel (G)
[H1]
Point/dual bumper winner who jumped ponderously on his hurdling bow when only an odds-on fourth of 5 in 2m novice here in November. Worth another chance.

Shinealight (M)
Winning Irish pointer who has gone with some promise in a pair of 2m4f maiden hurdles either side of Christmas, seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Newcastle 20 days ago. Very much one to consider.
