Smoke Trail (G)
Winning Irish pointer who jumped fluently when making all to beat subsequent winner on hurdles bow at Kelso in October. Found out in stronger races since but still early days and his yard has found form again in recent weeks.

[H]
Reveled in testing ground when making it 2 wins in 3 starts since joining Nick Scholfield at Fontwell last Sunday. Had plenty to spare and respected under a penalty.

Ocean Conquest (G)
Improved form when winning novice then handicap hurdles at Ludlow on first 2 starts this season. Disappointing twice since, although 3m likely stretched is stamina here last time.

Made the frame all 3 starts over hurdles in France for Francois Nicolle but below that level in Ayr maiden and Uttoxeter handicap since coming to Britain. Best watched until showing more.

Eddie My Eagle (G)

Progressive form, getting off the mark in 2m Plumpton novice (soft) 33 days ago. Likely capable of better again now moving into handicap company.

Sutherland (G)
Fair form in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and left hurdles/yard debut form behind when second in a 14-runner Southwell maiden (2m, good to soft) in December. Possibly unsuited by deep ground when well beaten at Leicester since. Retains pote…

Treasure Planet (G)

Showed plenty in Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien last spring and confirmed promise of his hurdle debut fourth at Chepstow when bolting up at Ludlow in November. Too free in listed company at Aintree in early December and fitted with a ho…
