Loriko (G)
FAV
Fairly useful sort who got off the mark with something to spare in a match race at Huntingdon (21f) last time. Drop back to 2m shouldn't be an issue and has been found an excellent opportunity to follow up under a penalty for yard operatin…

Biggles (G)
Useful 7f Flat handicapper who's been off since finishing down the field in a pair of starts for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2024. Pedigree offers some hope he'll make a hurdler (dam a half-sister to Lossiemouth, a useful winner over hurdles f…

Minella Blizzard (G)
Getaway gelding. Closely related to fair chaser Rocks Up Late (2m-2¼m winner). Dam (h107), 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Wicklow Brave. Pulled up sole start in Irish points in April and is p…

Starshine Legend (G)
Fair middle-distance winner on the Flat who's been below form both starts on the level for new connections (formerly with James Ferguson), though plenty of reasons to think he'll make a hurdler, and the market should offer plenty of clues …

White Riot (G)
[T]
Looked a good prospect when a fairly useful winner of a bumper at Wetherby last spring but has clearly had his problems since, underlining a disappointing start to his hurdling career with a late fall (when beaten) at Southwell last time.
