Klic Boum (G)
Caught the eye in maiden/novice hurdles and similar story in handicaps, including when fifth of 11 at Chepstow (13/2) 19 days ago, finishing with running left. Remains capable of better.

Welcheston Warrier (G)
Previously well beaten in novice hurdles before finishing third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 23 days ago. Uncertain to reproduce that form, however. NON RUNNER.

Ten Ten Twenty (G)
[PT]
Won a brace of handicap hurdles in July 2024 prior to find only one too good in hat-trick bid at Bangor. Finished at creditably third on the level at Wolverhampton last month and well worth a second look now returning to hurdling.

Richardson (G)
Ended losing run with consecutive wins in handicap hurdles on heavy ground in February, winning in a field of 7 at Bangor-On-Dee (11/4 favourite) on final outing. Goes well fresh and has to be respected in hat-trick bid.

Jewel Eyed Judy (M)
Had shown decidedly little prior to opening her account in 7-runner handicap hurdle here (5/2 favourite) after 7-month break, showing significant improvement. Question remains if this progress will continue.

Lady Henrietta (M)
Showed improvement with consecutive second-place finishes before falling heavily at second hurdle when disputing lead in handicap at Southwell (5/2) 26 days ago in first-time cheekpieces. Cheekpieces now removed and previous form suggests …

Dance Rules (G)

6-y-o who showed little in a trio of novice hurdles in 2024 but appeals as the sort who could do better now venturing into handicaps from a low base up in trip. Sean Bowen booked.
