Alberts Bay (G)
Third of 5 on hurdles debut over C&D in September 2023 but last of 7 in novice hurdle at Exeter (19f) in October 2024 for Ryan Chapman. Has lots to prove.

Bold Step (G)
6-y-o who shaped promisingly when second of 11 in bumper at Exeter in January. This Scorpion gelding looks an interesting prospect now going over hurdles.

Double Tiger (G)
Stepped up on his hurdling bow when second of 15 in novice at Wetherby (2m) 40 days ago. Goes back up in trip and likely to improve again.

Jubertilee (G)
[H]
Multiple point winner but hooded for Rules debut when finishing a well-held eighth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (2m, 33/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Lirone Du Seuil (G)
[T1]
Second at Fontainebleau on hurdle debut last February. Well held at Wetherby and Plumpton on first 2 starts for Dan Skelton but could still do better once handicapping.

Name Me Nicely (G)
Fairly useful hurdler who comes here on the back of a very good second of 14 in handicap at Newbury (3m) in March. The one to beat back in maiden company.

Outmaster (G)
FAV
£90,000 4-y-o, Masterstroke gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) By The Boardwalk. Easily won sole start in points in April 2025. Noteworthy hurdling debutant.

River Don (G)
[P1T1]
€9,000 4-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner Dgalwaygallivantor. Comfortable winner in point in April so he's not out of things on hurdles debut equipped with cheekpieces.

Style De Folie (G)
[PT]
Cheekpieces on but he still looked in need of the experience when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f) 13 days ago. May do better still.
