Country Code (G)
Placed both starts in Irish points prior to making a successful hurdle debut for new connections at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Did that readily and a penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Coylton King (G)
Fourth on the second of 2 course bumper runs last winter. Off 10 months, shaped as if needing the outing when eighth of 14 on 2m hurdle debut here 4 weeks ago. Up in trip.

Old Comrades (G)
£58,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the fourth attempt in May. The betting should help guide to expectations on hurdle debut.

Open Secret (G)
[T]
Fairly useful Flat winner for Charlie Johnston and promise both hurdle starts for Gordon Elliott, latterly finishing second over this trip at Wexford on soft. Bold show likely.

Rock On Max (G)
Failed to trouble the judge both completed starts in points and more one for the longer term under Rules based on last month's Hexham hurdle debut.

Run Baby Run (G)
[P1]
Pulled up in a pair of 2m course novice hurdles last month. First-time cheekpieces need to have a transformative effect.

Ross Chapman | R M Smith | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Stride On (G)
Bumper winner who made an encouraging start to his hurdle career after 10 months off when chasing home a useful prospect in a 2m course novice 38 days ago. Should be more to come, particularly at this trip.
