Colibri Bleu (G)
[H1]
Winning pointer (beat sole rival) in early 2025 but pulled up all 3 starts in that sphere in 2026 and finished a remote third on Warwick hurdle debut at the start of the month. Tailed off over C&D since. Hooded first time here.

King Troy (G)
250/1 when tailed off in a Hereford maiden hurdle for Alison Thorpe in March 2025. Has failed to complete in a couple of points this spring ahead of this return to hurdles.

Mr Rafiki (G)

Modest form when fourth in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles. Probably more one for handicaps after this.

Penzance (G)
Useful up to 1¼m on the Flat but beaten a long way when reaching the frame in both hurdles, latterly over C&D (good) 14 days ago. Still early days in this sphere, though.

Usyk (G)
Fair in bumpers but hasn't impressed with his jumping when beaten a long way in 2 C&D novice hurdles.

Bound For Glory (G)
Wide-margin course bumper win last month came in a very weak race but he should still be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.
