Smoke Trail (G)
FAV
Winning Irish pointer who jumped fluently when making all to beat subsequent winner on 2m course hurdle debut in October. Matched that on handicap bow at Newbury last time and he's a major player back in a novice.

Bogha Baiste (G)
Fair form when third in 2m novice hurdles at Newcastle here this spring. Won't need to raise his game much more.

Herja (M)
[T]
Fair hurdler, winning a 2½m Sedgefield maiden (good) in September. Bettered that form when second at Wetherby 3 weeks later. Given a break after and should be spot on for this after a couple of runs over fences last month.

Melbourne Ghost (G)
Maiden pointer who hasn't offered much in a bumper and 2 hurdles under Rules.

Nobotheratall (G)
Carlisle bumper winner in the autumn. Only seventh (Bogha Baiste third) on 2m course hurdle debut 18 days ago but he should be capable of better with that experience behind him.

The Grey Venture (G)
[P1]
Irish point winner. Better effort over hurdles (modest form) when 17 lengths fourth over 19f at Carlisle (good) 16 days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces here. Might be one who doesn't really come into his own until handicapping over furth…

Thorneylands (G)
Second in a bumper in December. Again showed promise when sixth of 12 on 17f Carlisle debut and reported to have lost his action when pulling up quickly there since. Retains potential for a yard in excellent form.

26P6- | Danny McMenamin | N G Richards | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Changemyluck (M)
Fair form when runner-up in 2m course novices on her last 2 outings. Rallied after getting outpaced last time so this step back up in trip could suit. Another prominent showing is likely.
