Bittalemon (M)
[P]
Flat winner for William Haggas and looks of similar ability over hurdles for this yard, winning 2 Cartmel novices in the summer. Predictably struggled up in class at Haydock after 4 months off in December but can make presence felt back at…

A Path To Ronda (M)
FAV
Bumper winner who made scored in ready fashion on hurdling debut/reappearance at Stratford (22f). Better form in defeat since, including when excellent third in Grade 2 at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem in this …

Just An Artist (M)
Sent off 125/1 but much improved when making a winning return in heavy-ground maiden hurdle at Perth in October. Ran as well as could have been expected under a penalty last 2 starts and another minor role probably best she can hope for.

Changemyluck (M)
First worthwhile form when third of 6 in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago but showed nowhere near enough to warrant interest here.

| 3rd | 7 | — |
Hunters Spring (M)
Made a winning debut in Newcastle bumper last season. Offered something to work on when fourth of 8 at Perth (2m, heavy) on hurdling bow/return in October but disappointed at Newcastle 7 weeks later.

Conner McCann | L Russell & M Scudamore | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Sagonige (M)
Bumper winner on debut in 2023/24 season but beaten by much more than a near 2-year absence when well held on hurdling debut at Ayr last month, especially considering her strength in the betting.
