Kells Priory (G)
Fair ex-Irish handicap hurdler for Louise Lyons who never threatened on his chasing debut when seventh of 10 in maiden chase at Tramore in October. Worth a market check starting out for excellent new yard back hurdling.

Pipers Cross (M)
[P]
Arrives in good nick without winning this term, needing a stronger gallop when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 25 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts eased 1 lb.

Sweet Magic (M)
Yet to win a race but she wasn't discredited when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, soft) 18 days ago. Needs considering off a 3 lb lower mark here.

Scudamore (G)
[P]
Winless since 2023 but he resumed from 4 months off with a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (27f, soft) 16 days ago when not ideally placed. Well in the mix off the same mark.

Mr Griffiths (G)
FAV
Promising son of Masked Marvel who was much improved on his handicap debut when landing 11-runner event at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy) 40 days ago. Up 6 lb but he has more to offer and is the one to beat.
