Count Of Vendome (G)
FAV
Dual bumper winner from 3 starts who should have made a successful hurdling debut/return at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 3 months ago, 3 lengths ahead and in control when losing all momentum last (traded 1.01 in-running). Fancied to make amends w…

Different Drum (G)
Modest performer on Flat who offered only very limited encouragement tried hurdling at Huntingdon a fortnight ago. Can only be watched.

Luckie Devil (G)
[H]
Runner-up in Newcastle bumper last March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). However, he showed nothing fitted with a hood on hurdling bow/retu…

Made All (G)
[T]
Fair three-time winner on the Flat last year who is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere.

Not At That Price (G)
Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers last spring and, following 6 months off, again ran well from the front when second of 10 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in October. Little encouragement to glean from his hurdling bow at Ludlow last…

Prince Of Clova (G)
Hung left and carried his tail awkwardly when fifth of 6 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, good) on debut in October. More needed on his hurdles debut.

Ribble River (G)
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), successful penultimate start and again ran well when last seen in September. Makes hurdles bow for a new yard and probably one for later on.

Stanners Glen (G)
[T]
Point winner who made a successful bumper debut at Tipperary for Robert Tyner last May. Popular in the market but held back by inexperience on yard/hurdling bow (sold for £78,000) on return at Taunton 8 weeks ago (tongue tied and had wind …

Victors Spirit (G)
Shaped with plenty of promise in 2 bumpers last summer. Tailed off in an AW maiden at Wolverhampton in December and would have done little better had he completed on hurdling debut at Taunton last month.

Uptown Lass (M)
Little promise in bumpers for Nicky Henderson but showed a bit sent hurdling after 6 months off when fourth of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) in November. Needs to build on that after a break.

King Esoteric (G)
Fair form when fifth in newcomers race at Saint-Cloud last spring, only outing on Flat. Interesting recruit for the powerful Dan Skelton yard (gets handy 4-y-o allowance) and market support would look significant on return/hurdles bow.
