Smoke Trail (G)
Winning Irish pointer who jumped fluently when making all to beat subsequent winner on hurdles bow over C&D in October. Matched that on handicap bow at Newbury last time and he's a major player.

Bogha Baiste (G)
Green in 2 bumpers and pulled up in a novice hurdle at Wetherby on debut in this sphere in January. Much better when third of 9 at Newcastle since but it's likely that he'll be better off in handicaps.

Cavalry Call (G)
[H]
Fair handicapper at best on the Flat for the Crisfords, but little impact for current stable in that sphere and made an inauspicious start over hurdles at Ayr (saddle slipped after clouting the first and pulled up quickly).

Jack Power | R M Smith | 5 | 71.2 kg |

Kingsman Mail (G)
Promising second in Ayr bumper on debut in November and while he hasn't managed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, this 6-y-o could have a part to play on hurdles debut, provided his jumping passes the test.

Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Mr Mojo Risin (G)
Some encouragement on debut in a Catterick bumper in December 2024 and also positives to take from his hurdles debut fifth 12 months later at Wetherby. Since undergone a breathing operation and he should do better in time.

Theo Gillard | D McCain Jnr | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Ned Broy (G)
Modest form on the Flat and hasn't made much of an impact in a couple of spins in this sphere.

Nathan Moscrop | I Jardine | 5 | 71.2 kg |

Nobotheratall (G)
Placed in a couple of bumpers before making it third time lucky in this sphere at Catterick when last seen in October. Could have a say now switched to hurdles if he gets into a good rhythm jumping-wise.

Harry Reed | T Davidson | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Word For Word (G)
FAV
[H]
Signs of ability in 3 maidens on the Flat in Ireland last year and bright start over hurdles in a first-time hood when landing a C&D juvenile event at the end of February. Improvement should be forthcoming.

R T Dunne | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 4 | 70.8 kg |

Changemyluck (M)
Appears to be on the right track, bettering previous efforts in this sphere when going close in a C&D mares novice hurdle last time, pulling well clear of the third. Bold show anticipated.

Sean Quinlan | W Coltherd | 6 | 68 kg |

Crokes Cross (M)
No show in a couple of bumpers in Ireland and probably best watched on hurdles/stable debut.

Just A Poet (M)
Safely held on her introduction/sole start for Sandy Thomson in a Wetherby bumper in November 2024. Absent prior to another low-key display when switched to hurdles for new yard at Catterick.
