Cushendun (G)
FAV
Placed all 3 bumper starts in 2023/24 and shaped quite well in a pair of C&D maiden hurdles returning from a long absence, runner-up in December. Cast aside a lesser effort when third at Ayr 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come. Ma…

Hourman (G)
Showed some promise when fourth in a course bumper on debut in October. Unable to make an impact in a trio of hurdles starts, albeit he caught the eye of the stewards at Ayr over 2m 3 weeks ago, finishing with running left. Up in trip and …

Maiori (G)
Successful on second of his 2 outings in Irish points and displayed ability when fourth of 12 starting out under Rules at Ayr 19 days ago (2m). Can build on that upped in trip.

Wise Move (G)

Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler and his level is pretty well established in handicaps.

Bold Reflection (M)
Runner-up in a couple of points and relished emphasis on stamina when making a winning bumper debut at Limerick in December 2022. Easy to excuse run 4 months later and though long absence since is a worry, she is in very capable hands. Mar…

Comedaygoday (M)

Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden hurdler who offered little after 3-year absence in January. Up in trip with a tongue tie on.

Queens Secret (M)
£40,000 purchase after winning an Irish point last March. The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for Ruth Jefferson in what isn't a deep contest.
