Bye Bye Salam (G)
[P]
Modest maiden on the Flat so doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles.

Enzos Angel (G)
[TP]
Modest AW Flat winner who was well held on his latest start in that sphere at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Likely outsider.

Guardami Ancora (G)
Much better effort in novice hurdles this autumn when second of 9 in 2m Hereford novice last month. May do better.

Is This For Real (G)
[T]
£80,000 point winner who struck at the second time of asking in bumpers at Kelso (soft) in March. Off 8 months, shaped as if needing the outing when fourth of 8 in 16.5f Market Rasen maiden on hurdle debut 4 weeks ago. Open to progress.

Knock Off Soxs (G)
Out of a half-sister to very smart hurdler Blue Bajan and made a winning debut in the pointing field in April. Promising start under Rules after wind surgery when 4 lengths second in C&D novice a fortnight ago. Likely improver with Harry C…

Marhaba Million (G)
[T1P]
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Owen Burrows in 2024 but well below that level in 3 outings for Anthony Charlton this summer. Under the care of Syd Hosie now hurdling. Has had wind surgery and also has a first-time tongue tie added to…

Morradi (G)
Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 15f) in Europe. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him now hurdling for David Pipe.

Ribba Hill (G)

Run Away Joe (G)
Soldier of Fortune gelding who placed on both starts in Irish points. Sent off favourite but only hinted at ability when fourth of 5 in Ascot bumper last month and held when unseating last on Ludlow hurdle debut since. Is This For Real loo…

Stanners Glen (G)
FAV
[T1]
Point winner who made a successful bumper debut at Tipperary for Robert Tyner in May. Tongue tie added (has also had wind surgery) now hurdling for Harry Fry. A good jumps prospect for whom market support would look significant.
