Marsiac (G)
FAV
Runner-up in an Irish point in February and has made a promising start under Rules, benefiting from the step up to 2½m when landing an Aintree maiden last month. Definitely more to come and hard to beat.

Montemares (G)
Made a winning start to his career in a C&D maiden 22 days ago. The form is nothing special but he did it well and looks sure to build on it.

Bushstreet Bowman (G)
12/1, weakened to finish eighth of 12 in a Uttoxeter bumper on his debut in May. Switches to hurdles after 6 months off.

Justice Served (G)
Kayf Tara gelding. Dam (c112/h109), 23f-25f hurdle/chase winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Presentingprincess. Check the betting on debut for an in-form stable.

Noahsgreatrainbow (G)
Useful bumper performer in 2023/24 season. Hasn't got close to that level in 3 hurdle starts but Newton Abbot reappearance fifth was more encouraging and it's still very early days.

Three Figs (G)
Only modest form at best when fourth in 2m Worcester novice on debut in June and well beaten at Chepstow 5 months later. Looks more one for handicaps after this.

Broadway Honey (M)
Signs of ability in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles but seems unlikely to be of real interest until handicapping.

Harley's Pride (M)
Modest form in 2 bumpers last season (trained in Ireland on debut). Best watched now hurdling after 8 months off unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
