Always Stronger (G)
Third in an Irish point in May 2024. It's taken a while for new connections to get him to the track (has had wind surgery) and might be best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Big Cadillac (G)
FAV
[T1]
Point/bumper winner who has shown promise on both his starts in this sphere, 14¾ lengths sixth of 7 in Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December. Tongue strap on first time. Capable of better and big player back in calmer waters.

Harry Skelton | D Skelton | 6 | 72.6 kg |

Blazing Saint (G)
Little to shout about in a couple of maiden hurdles to date and probably more one for handicaps later on.

Blue Run (G)
Fetched €170,000 as a 3-y-o and represents a top yard. 13/2, never in the hunt after a bad mistake at the first when 28 lengths seventh off 11 in 21f Warwick maiden hurdle on debut 10 weeks ago but could prove a different proposition now.

Double Tiger (G)
From a family which has served his owner well but he was comfortably held in a Warwick bumper last spring. Has switched to Warren Greatrex for his hurdle career. The betting should help guide to expectations.

| 2nd | 6 | — |
Escort'kheops (G)
Made the frame all 3 completed starts in Irish points and fair form when repeating that feat 4 times over hurdles, including handicaps last twice. No reason why he won't give his running but probably vulnerable to improvers back in a maide…

Felix Maximus (G)

Has a good pedigree but he dropped away quickly on his 2m Lingfield debut 13 days ago.

Imnottalkingtoyou (G)
[H1]
2-16 in the pointing field. Coming to hurdling late in the day and he's a likely outsider.

It's Party Time (G)
In the frame in Irish points but 66/1 when pulled up in Doncaster novice hurdle for new connections in December.

Jonny Setaside (G)
€45,000 3-y-o. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (winner around 2m) Hinterland and French hurdler/chase winner (17f-2¼m winner) Lofte Place. The stable had a winning hurdle newcomer here earlier in the month so mar…

Noble George (G)
Runner-up first 2 starts in bumpers but has yet to better modest form over hurdles and is unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping.

Pertemps (G)
Placed in bumpers and in 2m maiden hurdles at Uttoxeter (heavy) and Huntingdon (soft) in recent months. Likely capable of better now stepping back up in trip and the mount of Sean Bowen from the Olly Murphy pair.

Zamek (G)
Promising third in a bumper for Paul Nicholls last season and fair form when reaching the frame in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles over 2m for Olly Murphy this winter. Steps up in trip on the back of wind surgery. Likely to be on the premi…
