Get On George (G)
Has made an encouraging start to his career, hitting the frame in both a Hexham bumper and Carlisle novice before opening his account in 7-runner maiden at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Longer trip will suit and remains capable of be…

Out Of The Woods (G)
Fairly useful bumper winner who looked a good prospect when making a successful debut over hurdles upped in trip in 11-runner maiden at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Open to improvement.

Scarlet Jet (G)
Point winner who improved with each of his four runs over hurdles last term, running out an emphatic winner of 10-runner novice at Perth (20.2f, soft) in April. Shaped as if needing the run when only furth of 7 at Kelso 7 months on.

Zanndabad (G)
[T]
Useful on Flat and belatedly produced a similar performance in this sphere when bolting up in a thin handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) in October. Has obvious claims under a penalty.

Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) O O Seven. Successful on the second of 2 starts in bumpers and shaped encouragingly under considerate handling in finding only one too good on his Uttoxeter …

Kent De Thaix (G)
Dual Irish point winner who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when tenth of 14 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Ayr (16f, soft) on Rules debut 17 days ago, bad mistake 3 out. Should improve upped appreciably in trip but is possibly …

Spreadsheet Guru (G)
[T1]
Pulled up sole start in points but showed promise when second at Ayr only start in bumpers. Then left A. Slattery and was held back by inexperience sent hurdling when fifth of 6 in 2m4f Aintree novice 3 weeks ago. Should do better.
