Rocking Man (G)
FAV
Useful in bumpers in 2023/24 and justified support on hurdle debut/reappearance at Chepstow in November. Better than the result when pulled up in River Don Novices' Hurdle 8 weeks ago (faltered badly after jumping 2 out with every chance) …

Art Dancer (G)
[V1]
Placed in a couple of bumpers (modest form) but has made a highly discouraging start to his hurdling career. Visor goes on.

Caspada (G)
Dansant gelding who shaped with some promise when fourth of 6 in a Sedgefield bumper on debut in December. However, he went with no promise at Newcastle the following month and now goes hurdling.

Forever Louie (G)
[T1]
Built on debut promise when second in Musselburgh bumper in December and left hurdling debut form behind when filling that same position over C&D a fortnight ago, rallying run-in having been outpaced 2 out. Probably wants to go back up in …

Mosstown Mill (G)
Won a point after finishing mid-field in an Irish bumper but could hardly have shown any less 10 months on from his hurdling debut at Ayr recently, beaten well before the step up in trip became a factor. Looks one for low-grade handicaps a…

Prince Phil (G)
[H]
Hooded for debut when fifth in 9-runner bumper at Kelso last month. Now sent hurdling but is probably one for the longer-term.

Thorneylands (G)
Pulled clear with a useful prospect on his sole outing in bumpers and again showed promise when sixth of 12 in novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft) last month. Should improve on that effort and fancied to feature.

Dancing Diana (M)
Wasn't given a hard time on bumper debut at Newcastle in January and looks the type to flourish at a later stage.

Loving Look (M)
Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) but yet to make much impact in 3 starts for current yard. Watching brief advised on hurdles bow.

Ms Cindy Kate (M)
Unplaced in a couple of bumpers last summer and is likely one for handicap hurdles later on judged on her fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Ayr last month.

Earnest Belief (G)
Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 16.5f) for John & Thady Gosden, placed twice from 6 starts in 2025. Makes hurdles bow for a new yard and the betting should prove a decent guide to expectations.
