Caspari (G)
Sent off 4/1 for his debut but he came in fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 74 days ago. In top hands though and this son of Cracksman could still do better after a break.

Charleyman (G)
Well held in a Worcester bumper on his debut and again when fourth of 5 in novice at Lingfield (19.5f, good) on his hurdles bow 78 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Maskarvel (G)
Fair form shown for Harry Kelly when in the frame in a trio of Irish bumpers last summer. Sent off 33/1 but made a promising start in this sphere after 5 months off when fifth of 11 in novice at Kempton (16f, good) on Boxing Day. Can take …

Mr Jukebox (G)
Fair form shown in a pair of bumpers but he never threatened when fifth of 10 in novice at Southwell (15.8f, soft, 4/1) on his hurdles bow 27 days ago. Can still do better in the longer term though.

Zamek (G)
FAV
[T1]
Promising third in a bumper for Paul Nicholls last season and fair form to reach the frame in a trio of 2m hurdles this winter, coming in third of 18 at Lingfield in January. Has since undergone breathing surgery (also tongue tied) and he …

For Love Of Beauty (M)
[T]
Just poor form in a pair of bumpers and it has been a similar story in 2m maiden hurdles at Market Rasen and Hereford this autumn for David Killahena & Graeme McPherson. Has plenty to prove starting out for a new yard after a four-month la…

No impact in pair of bumpers either side of Christmas and likely to be up against it on her hurdles debut.
