Douglas Hyde (G)
£85,000 Irish point winner who showed fair form when finishing runner-up in a trio of bumpers last season. Hasn't matched that form in 2 runs over hurdles but probably paid for keeping tabs on a pair with superior ability at Chepstow on mo…

Spot On Soph (M)
[T]
Largely reliable sort who landed 2½m Sedgefield handicap in September. Needs to cast aside a lesser effort at Market Rasen last time, though.

Golden Identity (G)
[T]
Found improvement on the back of another breathing operation when second of 13 in a Ffos Las handicap (20f, good to soft) in October and backed it up with a solid third at Hereford (19.7f, good) last time. Sure to remain competitive if han…

El Jefe (G)

Ezmerellda (M)
Modest hurdler at best for Alan King who offered little on first outing since leaving that yard when a well-held fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (21.2f, good to firm, 25/1) in March. Off since.
