Bentley Road (G)
[P]
Maiden pointer and remote fifth on his completed start in Kelso hunters. Others are preferred.

Eagles Rock (G)
[P]
Multiple point winner who has been runner-up in a pair of 3m Kelso hunters, latterly on Wednesday. This is a quick turnaround but he'll be a major player if over those exertions.

Eastern Storm (G)
Pulled up in a pair of 23f course maiden hurdles under Rules but has fared a lot better in the pointing field, winning 5 times, including his last 4 after a breathing operation. The one to beat on hunter debut.

Economic Editor (G)
[PT]
Poor maiden over hurdles and fences for Adam Nicol in 2023. Also just 1-22 in the pointing field and it's likely best to look elsewhere.

Imperial Imp (G)
[T1P1]
Modest form in bumper/maiden hurdles in Ireland at start of career. Has won 2 of 14 point starts since, including latest 4 weeks ago. In deeper waters for belated hunter debut.

Peaceinthevalley (G)
[T1]
Fair maiden hurdler for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland. Left that yard after pulling up on Limerick chase debut in March. Third of 12 in a Charm Park maiden on point debut 3 weeks ago. Has a tongue tie added now switching to a hunter.

Pulse Of Camelot (G)
Third in a maiden hunter in Ireland in 2024. No impact under Rules for Max Comley in Britain subsequently and beaten a long way when third in a couple of points this spring. Can only watch.

23-race maiden under Rules in Ireland for Martin Brassil. Seventh in a Catterick handicap hurdle for Jessica Bedi in December but consistent in points since, winning at Charm Park last month.

Sunset On Fire (G)
[T1]
Down the field in a bumper for Olly Murphy in March 2023 but has gone 4-12 in the pointing field since, winning on return in March and second at Sheriff Hutton over Easter. Tongue tied on hunter debut. Place claims.

Whatudoing (G)
A winning pointer who wasn't disgraced when third of 9 in hunter chase at Cartmel (21f, soft) last May. Remote fourth in a 2½m course maiden hurdle a month later. Has drawn a blank in 5 points this season and other looks stronger back in a…
