A Likeable Rogue (G)
Sent off a big price but achieved plenty when a keeping-on fourth in listed company at Cheltenham on debut and didn't need to improve to get off the mark with his sights lowered at Wetherby (2m) next time. Has more on his plate back up in …

Get Out Of My Way (G)
€105,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Brother to useful hurdlers Tripoli Flyer and Anyharminasking and looked cut from a similar cloth when making a promising winning debut at Market Rasen (16.6f) in December, asserting final 1f. Better to come.

Governors Rock (G)
Improved on debut form to land a weak affair at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) in July. Left Peter John Flood after and improved appreciably when following up at Ballinrobe on sole outing for Mark Fahey since. Subsequently sold for £100,000…

Half Hoping (G)
Made positive start to his career when thwarted only narrowly by No Walkover at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) before going one better with something to spare in 6-runner event at Fontwell (17.7f) 43 days ago. More required now stepping up in grad…

Not Without Danger (G)
[T1]
Produced a promising first effort when second of 10 in bumper at Ffos Las in April. Not ideally placed when below that level in a stronger race at Cheltenham in October but this is even tougher.

No Walkover (G)
FAV
Runner-up in Irish point and impressed with the way he travelled when going one better in a Chepstow bumper in November, edging ahead again near finish. Wasted no time proving that did him no justice when following up under a penalty at Ai…

Risky Obsession (G)
£190,000 4-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Ask Paddington. Won sole start in Irish points and looked an excellent prospect when following up in 9-runner bumper at Warwick (2m) 38 days ago. Sure to …

Smile John Boy (G)
Made a winning debut in taking fashion in 14-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on debut in November. No match for the reopposing Risky Obsession under a penalty but can be marked up a touch considering how keen he was for a large par…

Trojan Tale (G)
Hillstar gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Flash The Steel. Looked a useful prospect when impressive winner of 10-runner bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) on debut …

Wonder Flying (G)
