I Wish You (G)
[P]
Winning hurdler who improved on his third start over fences when landing novice handicap at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February, looking suited by the conditions. That form has been boosted and he's respected.

Benmore (G)

[P]
Winning hurdler who has improved over fences this season, opening chase account at the second attempt in a Leicester handicap in December. Bounced back from a fall when scoring in novice event at this course (21f) last time and he's a majo…

You Some Girl (M)
[HT]
Fair handicap hurdler (tends to travel strongly) who made a successful start over fences in 3-runner maiden at Newcastle in October. However, pulled up in handicap chase at Market Rasen (27.5f) on Boxing Day, beaten before lack of stamina …

Eaton Anne (G)
[B1]
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles last season and, in first-time cheekpieces, stepped forward from his chasing debut when second of 4 in novice handicap at Wetherby 18 days ago, despite making mistakes. Needs to brush up with his jumping w…

Orkney Blue (G)
Runner-up twice in maiden hurdles last season and, returned to more positive tactics, left behind first 2 efforts over fences when winning a C&D handicap in February. Not quite in the same form at Ayr 3 weeks later, but has been given more…

Loulou Madrik (G)
[P]
Much improved when placed in maiden and novice hurdle at Newcastle (both at 2½m) in January. Bounced back from a lesser effort when rallying for fifth in valuable 10-runner novice handicap at Musselburgh 15 days ago, so 3m should suit as h…

Big Zouk (G)
Every inch a chaser on looks (winning Irish pointer earlier in career) and made a successful debut in this sphere in an Ayr handicap in January. Went backwards from that effort when pulled up at Kelso a month later, but has had a longer br…
