[HT]
Fair form when third in 2 bumpers. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling when fifth of 14 in maiden at Exeter (17f, good to soft) 20 days ago. May do better.

Untapped Potential (G)
Sold for €47,000 soon after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in February. Starts out over hurdles in a race lacking depth and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Ample Warning (M)
After 20 months off, shaped up well when fourth of 15 in novice at Ludlow (2m, soft) on hurdling debut in December but failed to build on that when seventh at Warwick (2m again) 12 weeks later. Up in trip.
