Amatchmadeinheaven (G)
[H1]
Successful on his sole start in point bumpers and was value extra over the result when following up in an Exeter bumper in March. Failed to progress at Aintree next time and now switches to hurdling in a first-time hood for new yard.

Can't Resist It (G)
[T]
Fair bumper performer in Ireland and similar form when placed in maiden hurdles in the first half of 2024. Wasn't disgraced in the face of a stiff task back from a 13-month absence when mid-field in a Cheltenham novice (16.8f) in December …

Docteur Romeo (G)
Doctor Dino gelding who didn't show much in a junior bumper at Hereford on debut 14 months earlier but bred to have a future over jumps.

I Can See Formiles (G)
Telescope gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler I Spy A Diva, stays 3¼m. Dam (c80/h135) bumper/19f-3m hurdle winner. Yard had success with this family but he's bred to need longer trips.

Limier D'arthel (G)
[H1]
Fairly useful form when winning maiden bumper at Moulins (11.9f) in 2023/24 for Emmanuel Clayeux. Went off second favourite but got no further than the first returning after 22 months off on Huntingdon hurdling debut. Hooded now and it wil…

On The Bayou (G)
FAV
£140,000 purchase after winning sole outing in points. Ran to a borderline fair level in a Newton Abbot bumper prior to find only one too good on his hurdling debut over C&D, pulling a long way clear of rest. Sets the standard on that form…

Passage Du Maure (G)
Shaped much better than previously when fifth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) recently and probably has more ability to reveal once he becomes more professional.

Sea Warrior (G)
Showed promise in maiden/novice hurdles and was in touch when clipping heels and falling on Wincanton handicap debut in December. Finished down the field at Lingfield since, however.

Bunny Bee (M)
Shaped much better than in a Huntingdon bumper when second in a Fontwell novice (17.7f) in January. However, went backwards in a big way at Wincanton later in the month.
