From a good family and confirmed promise of debut when winning junior hurdle at Doncaster in November, looking set to claim leader when left in front 2 out. Comfortably followed up at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) and he's not taken lightl…

Merci Mam (G)

Dream's Ka (G)
Promise when third in juvenile maiden hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) on first outing, before suffering interference when down the field at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Remains with potential but has something to find in this contest.

Maestro Du Mesnil (G)
[T1]
Showed ability first time up when fourth of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) in November (Aqua Bleu ahead in second making his debut). Plenty more required, though, with tongue strap now added.

Mwabani (G)
In need of the experience on debut but shaped encouragingly when second of 4 in junior hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft, 10/11) in November, form boosted by the winner and third scoring next time. Open to improvement with first run behind him.
