Irish point winner who has made a promising start in 2¼m maiden hurdles, third at this course on Rules debut before finding only one too strong at Newton Abbot last month. Leading contender with further improvement to come.

Snowski (G)
[P]
Pulled up on debut and fared little better in first-time cheekpieces when well-beaten ninth of 12 in maiden over this C&D last month. Looks to be up against it.

Thepassingcyclone (G)
Showed some ability amidst greenness when rallying for fifth in 10-runner bumper at Chepstow on debut in January. However, went backwards from that effort when tailed off at Exeter the following month. Off since ahead of going hurdling.

Placed on second of 3 starts in bumpers and some encouragement on hurdling debut when fifth of 12 in a C&D novice in January. Well held in maiden at Uttoxeter (23f) in March, though it still remains early days as he returns to this venue.

Grey Gamble (M)
Bred for more stamina than speed and finished mid-field in a pair of bumpers. After 5 months, in need of the experience sent hurdling when well-beaten fourth of 7 in mares novice at this course (2¾m) a month ago. Looks one for further down…

Runner-up on first of 2 starts in bumpers and progressed gradually in maiden/novice hurdles, before showing promise after 6 months off when fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in April. Shaped as if amiss last time, but could bo…
