Milou Du Chenet (G)
Comfortably made all in juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) on debut in November and followed up in similar fashion at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) last time. This is tougher but he remains open to improvement.

Promising individual who landed 13-runner juvenile hurdle (44/1) at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) on debut 105 days ago. Since joined Nicky Henderson and must be of interest here.

Molly's Lad (G)
Strong in the betting and made a promising start to his career when second at Aintree in November and backed that up when fifth of 16 in listed bumper (5/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) 35 days ago, sticking to task. Worth monitoring in mar…

Pink 'n Purple (G)
Signs of only minor promise in a bumper and brace of hurdles starts and looks a longer-term prospect.

Pippin's Legend (G)
[T1]
Showed promise on bumper debut and offered something to work on when third of 6 in juvenile at Haydock (15.6f, good) on hurdles bow 37 days ago, running green. Tongue strap on first time. Should progress.

The Grayster (G)
Ran with credit on debut here in November but failed to improve on that at Haydock the following month and looks up against it here.

Capla Resdev (F)
Showed some promise in bumper here in November but finished well beaten at Uttoxeter since and is best watched on switch to hurdling.
