Blues Singer (G)
Fairly useful bumper winner had been highly tried over hurdles before capitalising on a drop in grade at Huntingdon last time, and with further improvement likely, he has strong claims to follow up.

| 2nd | 2 | — |
Imperfectlyperfect (G)
Point/bumper winner made it 2-2 at this track when successful over C&D on hurdles debut, though he needs to bounce back following a break, having disappointed again when well-beaten fourth at Kelso in late-December.

D R Fox | L Russell & M Scudamore | 6 | 73.9 kg |

| 7th | 3 | — |
Pimmsoclock (G)
Bred for further but ran to a fair level when winning 11-runner maiden at Fontainebleau (17.6f) on hurdling debut in October. Has since left Mme M. Pineda and is open to improvement on first start for new yard.

Danny McMenamin | C Grant | 5 | 73.9 kg |

Red Oak (G)
FAV
Musselburgh maiden winner who chased home a useful type at Catterick in January and matched that form when fourth in a novice handicap at Newbury last time. Makes appeal returning to calmer waters.

J J Burke | James Owen | 6 | 73.9 kg |

Betteryouthanme (G)
Unpromising in Irish points and shaped like one for handicaps second time up over hurdles, finishing (300/1) seventh of 15 at Wetherby.
|
Toby Wynne | R M Smith | 6 | 70.8 kg |

| 9th | 6 | — |
C'mon So (G)
Point runner-up attracted support but was last of the 6 to complete at this course (2½m) on hurdles bow. Connections will probably have their eye on handicaps, now.
|
Gregor Walkingshaw | L Russell & M Scudamore | 5 | 70.8 kg |

| 8th | 7 | — |
Caspada (G)
Well held in bumpers and on hurdle debut at Carlisle (125/1) latest.

Countryman Joe (G)
[T1]
Fared little better than in bumpers when pulled up on hurdle debut here and a first-time tongue strap is unlikely to make a difference.

Peter Kavanagh | Mrs J Walton | 6 | 70.8 kg |

|
| 3rd | 9 | — |
Hurlyburly (G)
Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Arvico Bleu (winner around 2m). Improved again but no match for promising sort when second in Haydock bumper last time and merits respect now sent hurdling.
|
Sean Quinlan | Jedd O'Keeffe | 5 | 70.8 kg |

10/1

| 6th | 10 | — |
Mademewhatiam (G)
[T]
Inconsistent sort didn't offer much when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Musselburgh in mid-February and hard to be confident returning to hurdles following a further 8 weeks off.

Nathan Moscrop | Annabelle Sowray | 7 | 70.8 kg |

Prince Phil (G)

Pulled up on hurdles bow at Wetherby and is likely to need more time/distance.

Marvel Magic (G)
Hasn't kicked on from a promising bumper debut and Imperfectlyperfect looks the stable's leading hope.
