Another Enki (G)
Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Yala Enki, stayed 31f, and fairly useful hurdler Grace A Vous Enki. Like those siblings, he may well need a stiffer test before long but a market check is a must all the…

Dakota Star (G)
Strong in the betting and shaped well when third in a 6-runner Hereford juvenile hurdle (2m, good) on debut in November, form which has since been franked by the multiple-winning runner-up. Subsequently undergone a wind op and should make …

Mecene (G)
FAV
Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/useful chaser Faivoir and fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner Clic Work. Placed in juvenile events at Wincanton and Warwick, and there's a strong chance that he will be involved in t…

See Me Later (G)
[T1]
Half-brother to French 2m hurdle winner Gamaline and dual bumper winner Martha Willow. Appealing type on paper and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Wears tongue strap.

Sixty's Rock (G)
Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Cheddleton and showed more than on debut when third of 8 in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury in January. Still very much a work in progress and likely to be on the premises here with further improvement a…

Ashpriors (F)
[H1]
Half-sister to fair 19f hurdle winner Don't Wind Me Up, while dam was a bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner. Didn't show much in the way of immediate promise at Ludlow and Dakota Star appears to be the stable No 1. Hood enlisted.

Clear Sky (F)
Underwent a wind op after finishing down the field on debut in a Stratford bumper and hinted at ability starting out over hurdles at Newbury in January. Probably more of a handicapping prospect.

Milady Du Breuil (F)
Bred more for stamina than speed and has shaped accordingly in a bumper and 2 mares' events since switched to hurdles.
