| 6th | 1 | — |
Dublinofficecallin (G)
Encouraging debut bumper fourth at Catterick in December but only sixth of 8 in similar company at Ayr (16f, heavy) 33 days ago. More is needed on his hurdles debut.

Elemental Eye (G)
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) but looks to be being brought along steadily in this sphere, ninth of 11 in novice at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 48 days ago. Can do better, especially once qualified for handicaps.

Giveitsomewellie (G)
300/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) on his NH debut 44 days ago. Significantly more is required.

Guet Apens (G)
A useful 1m4f winner on Flat in France in 2024 for Andre Fabre. Changed hands for 28,000 gns and one to consider on his yard/hurdling bow despite an 18-month absence, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Hourman (G)
Masked Marvel gelding who showed some promise when a debut fourth in Hexham bumper in October. Came in a remote sixth of 12 on his hurdling bow at Wetherby (2m, heavy, 28/1) 24 days ago but may still do better.

| 5th | 6 | — |
Lester Mail (G)
A fair bumper winner who took a step forward on his second hurdling start when a running-on fourth of 11 in 2m Kelso novice in December. Likely to do better still so needs considering.

Run Baby Run (G)
[P]
Has shown little encouragement in a trio of runs thus far, tried in cheekpieces when last of 8 in 2m Ayr novice hurdle 17 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Fantasy World (G)
FAV
A useful performer on Flat who signed off for Andrew Balding with victory in 1m6f Ascot listed race in October. Has since changed hands for 600,000 gns and this Triumph Hurdle entrant rates a very interesting hurdling prospect for new conn…

Gallivanted (G)
[T]
A fairly useful 1½m winner on Flat for Tom Clover last May. Changed hands for 70,000 gns after and he shaped well on his hurdling bow (gelded/underwent wind surgery in interim) 9 months later when fourth of 8 in 2m Ludlow juvenile recently…

Keyboard (G)
[P1]
A fair Flat maiden who has quickly matched that form over hurdles, a clear second of 9 in juvenile at Catterick (15.7f, good) in December. Well in the mix after a break with cheekpieces added.

Storm The Dug (G)
A fair maiden on the Flat who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in 7f handicap at Newcastle 36 days ago. No forlorn hope now starting out in this sphere.
