Just Call Me Buzz (G)
Placed in point bumpers but looked a stayer in the making when distant third of 12 on hurdles debut over this trip at Chepstow. Nevertheless, this isn't a deep race, and he could run into a place again.

Kind Intention (G)
No match for Storming George when runner-up on debut in January last year and ran to a similar level in a pair of bumpers subsequently. Bred to appreciate the switch to hurdles and one to consider if the market suggests he's ready to roll.

Royal Mark (G)
[H1]
Probably stretched by the longer trip on second start over hurdles (2½m) here in August, though he'd shaped with little promise prior to that. Hood goes on.

Saint Arion (G)
Picked up for £26,000 having pulled up in a point last December and is now sent hurdling following an uninspiring Rules debut in a valuable bumper at Newbury in March.

Sonyourastar (G)
Hit the frame on his final start in points and is probably one for staying handicaps, seemingly unsuited by the drop back in trip when well held at Perth (2m) second time up over hurdles.

Crest of Arms (G)
FAV
Definite promise on first 2 starts in bumpers and was back on song when runner-up on hurdling debut at Hexham. Entitled to sharpen up for that experience and looks the one to beat.

Pivotal Days (G)
Fair Flat winner for Ed Walker but couldn't even match his hurdle debut form when well beaten at Fontwell last time.

Blue Topaz (M)
[T]
Point/bumper winner was found to have bled when pulled up on hurdle debut at Sedgefield in November, and while clearly one with issues, she cannot be discounted if back on song.

Kayla's Friend (M)
Looked unlucky not to win an Irish point but seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind for new yard, Sean Bowen preferring Sonyourastar.

Medina Blue (M)
Placed in a couple of Irish points and caught the eye under a considerate ride when sixth of 8 on hurdle debut at Newton Abbot. Certainly has the potential to do better but she may be a handicap project.
