Etretat (G)
Fair Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but he came in last of 10 at Lingfield 16 days ago. Goes hurdling for new yard here.

William Maggs | A B Hamilton | 5 | 72.1 kg |

Hawthorn Road (G)
[H]
Pulled up on debut in December and too free (hooded) when seventh of 12 in bumper at Newcastle in March. More required now going hurdling.

Danny McMenamin | I Jardine | 5 | 72.1 kg |

L'appel Du Large (G)
[T]
Well held in a pair of bumpers at Newcastle last season. Since had a breathing operation and needs to take a big step forward on his hurdles debut.

Lexington Wood (G)
FAV
Fairly useful in bumpers for Philip Fenton. Changed hands for £105,000 but never figured on his yard/hurdling debut in Grade 2 at Kempton in February. This is much easier and he remains with plenty of potential after a break.

| 5th | 5 | — |
Nae Bother At A' (G)
[H1]
Is 0-7 and was pulled up in handicap here (2½m) 20 days ago, going freely and not looking an easy ride. Hood is reached for.

Sean Quinlan | N W Alexander | 8 | 72.1 kg |

| 4th | 6 | — |
Scriabin (G)
[T]
Yet to score but he comes here in good nick, third of 12 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Holds good form claims back in maiden company.

P W Wadge | L Russell & M Scudamore | 6 | 72.1 kg |

Sonyourastar (G)
15/2, fourth of 8 in novice at Market Rasen (21f) on his debut 60 days ago. Down in trip with more needed.

Lewis Saunders | O Murphy | 6 | 72.1 kg |

| 6th | 8 | — |
Struth (G)
[TP]
A fair winner on the Flat for Charlie Johnston but he's yet to match that form in this sphere, tongue tied when a well-held fifth in handicap at Kelso (2¼m) 24 days ago.
|
Gregor Walkingshaw | L Russell & M Scudamore | 6 | 72.1 kg |

| 3rd | 9 | — |
Way Maker (G)
A fairly useful bumper winner last summer. Off 7 months before coming in mid-field in valuable bumper at Newbury in March. Not discounted now going hurdling.

James Bowen | M Bowen | 5 | 72.1 kg |

Kibris (G)
[T]
A fairly useful Flat winner. Made the frame 3 times over hurdles, despite jumping sketchily, but pulled up in 2m handicap at Punchestown in January and ended his time with Joseph O'Brien with a modest run back on the Flat. Needs this yard …

J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | 4 | 69.4 kg |

Breaking Ground (M)
[T1]
Well beaten in a couple of points and hasn't fared much better over hurdles, including over C&D 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie is added.
