Eagles Reprieve (G)
Bumper winner progressing gradually over hurdles and was off the mark in a C&D maiden in November. Ran well behind an unexposed Skelton-trained rival in an 8-runner novice at Newcastle in January and there should still be more to come from…

Gaelic Rover (G)
FAV
Showed promise despite falling both starts in Irish points and has made a good start over hurdles, placing twice before landing a maiden at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in January. Running below that level when falling here 3 weeks ago but…

Ivan's Legacy (G)
Modest form at best when fourth on all 3 bumper starts and well held both outings over hurdles.

Rememberthename (G)
Fair maiden hurdler who ran his best race when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh 48 days ago. Vulnerable to some promising types here, though.

Talk To The Boss (G)
£80,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February 2025. Shaped as if better for the run when ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Newcastle on Rules debut 18 days ago.

The G Wizard (G)
Yet to finish outside of the frame in 5 hurdle starts, showing up well when runner-up at Musselburgh on handicap debut last month. Probably unsuited by switch to patient tactics back in novice company at Ayr 4 weeks ago. Respected. Engaged…

Bollin Skittle (M)
No impact in a bumper and is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles, keeping on gradually when fourth here (2m, soft) 3 weeks ago. Should be suited by longer trip but likely to be of greater interest when eligibl…
