Crest Of Valour (G)
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Lord Roco and bumper winner (for this yard) Crest of Glory. Needed the experience but showed ability when sixth in a 9-runner bumper at Fontwell on debut, lacking a turn of foot to get involved. Should…

Fresh Kicks (G)
FAV
Point runner-up hails from a family his yard know well and he's been prominent in the betting on both starts, shaping like the best horse on first run following wind surgery when runner-up at Kempton (21f) on hurdle debut last time. Strong…

Fury Lad (G)
Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Oct 2023). Well held in a bumper on Rules debut in April last year and he's likely to need the run/experience on hurdle debut.

Hillwalk (G)
Promising start under Rules, travelled well when runner-up in a Chepstow bumper (good). Raced on the unfavoured part of the track when below form third at Fontwell (17.7f) on softer ground when last seen in January. Best not judged on that…

The Two Harrys (G)
Has shown ability but clearly hasn't been easy to train, going backwards hurdling bow (sweated up following 11 months off) when well held at Chepstow (19.5f) earlier this month. In good hands however and may take a step forward with that r…

Kill The Groove (M)
[T]
Showed ability in bumpers/hurdles for Ben Pauling but was let down by her jumping on final start for the yard. First run for new trainer but will have a better chance in handicaps.
