Blazing Gaden (G)
Cityscape gelding who has offered precious little on each of his 2 starts in maiden hurdles this winter.

Chasing Glance (G)
[T]
Wide-margin winner of sole start in points back in April 2023 and he shaped as if he might well come on for the run equipped with a tongue strap when fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle here (21f, soft) in December. Feasible to think he can do be…

Full Force Gale (G)
Made the ideal start when landing a 7-runner bumper at Ffos Las on debut in autumn 2024. Similar form when midfield under a penalty next time and he showed more than being pulled up suggests in novice hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, heavy) 12 mo…

Just Golden (G)
FAV
[T1]
Successful on second of 2 starts in bumpers and is improving over hurdles for top yard, finishing ahead of a couple of next-time-out winners at Newcastle prior to going close in a much stronger maiden at Cheltenham (20.2f) on New Year's Da…

Leader Crik (G)
Very tall gelding who finished runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 2025). However, still to fill his considerable frame and he ultimately never figured when sixth of 7 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, good) on hurdles bow in Oc…

Limerick Star (G)
Runner-up sole start in Irish points in April 2024 and he offered something to work on (fair form) when third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 4 weeks ago, keeping tabs on the first 2 for a long way. Likely he can build on th…

Matthias (G)
Fair in bumpers and showed promise on hurdling debut after near 2-year absence when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (17/2) 63 days ago. However, he took a backward step when finishing a distant fifth in a Lingfield maiden (19.5f, …

Mr Finch (G)
£70,000 5-y-o Harzand Gelding. Runner-up sole start in Irish points and offered something to work on having been very well backed when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, soft) on Rules debut 27 days ago. Evidently green then…

Piping Rock (G)
Third sole start in Irish points in April and pulled nicely clear of the rest when finding just one too strong in 2½m Windsor maiden hurdle in November. Similar form despite some less than fluent jumping when third at Wincanton (19.8f, sof…
