Ballybough Nelson (G)
Runner-up sole start in points in May 2024 but well held on Hexham hurdle debut 18 months later.

Blofeld (G)
Looked useful when making a winning bumper debut at Ayr (heavy) in February. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Ross Chapman | R Menzies | 6 | 69.9 kg |

11/4

| 10th | 3 | — |
Canunclecani (G)
Made frame all 3 starts in Irish points and better with each start over hurdles, culminating with a 17f course second on soft ground in February. Likely to be thereabouts if resuming in similar form.

Sean Quinlan | Mrs J Stephen | 6 | 69.9 kg |

9/1

| 6th | 4 | — |
Eagle's Cairn (G)
Better effort in bumpers when third on soft ground here in February, but that form doesn't amount to much and improvement needed now switched to hurdles.

Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Je Mr Dawson (G)
10/1 when 20 lengths sixth of 10 in Ayr bumper on debut in March. Blofeld looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise.

King Kodiak (G)
Comfortably held in 2 bumpers and unseated early on Hexham hurdle debut in April. Best watched on return.

Milan Park (G)
[T]
Modest form in bumpers and probably didn't achieve much when 8 lengths second of 3 to a hard-held winner on 2½m Wetherby hurdle debut last month.

William Maggs | C Grant | 6 | 69.9 kg |

Port Station (G)
Promise when reaching the frame in 2 bumpers and again when 13 lengths third of 9 in 2½m Newcastle novice on hurdle debut 16 days ago. May do better.

Danny McMenamin | I Jardine | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Runner-up on second of 2 outings in points but well held in bumper/2 novice hurdle under Rules.

Inedit D'amour (G)
[P1]
Fair form over hurdles in France for Francois Nicolle and runner-up on sole completed chase start on that side of the Channel. Ran below that level when third on 17f course stable debut 3 weeks ago but may strip fitter now. Also refitted w…

The Burren Man (G)
FAV
[T1]
€180,000 purchase after finishing second in an Irish point in April. Tongue tied on Rules debut. In good hands and betting confidence likely significant.
