Boston Savr (G)
Milan gelding. Brother to a point winner and closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Crosshill (2m-21f winner, by Sholokhov), stays 3m: dam (h98) bumper winner. Pedigree offers some hope and worth a market check on debut.

Irandando Has (G)
Fairly useful second in listed newcomers race at Auteuil on hurdling debut/sole start for Francois Nicolle in September 2022. That form has substance but he's clearly had issues (off over 3 years) and betting should guide on first start fo…

Liam Mera Kai (G)
FAV
Impressive bumper winner on debut in March and has made a promising start over hurdles, building on hurdle debut when runner-up at Hereford (16.2f). He's not the finished article (jumped novicey last time) and there should be improvement t…

Minstrel Knight (G)
Fairly useful stayer on Flat and shaped well on hurdle debut, would have finished second (no match for winner) but for falling 2 out at Wetherby (16f, soft) 29 days ago. Should improve if none the worse for that experience.

Our Super Six (G)
[P1]
Best effort in bumpers when third of 5 at Plumpton on reappearance but went with little encouragement on hurdle debut at Exeter (18.5f, good) 54 days ago (lost a shoe). Something to prove back down in trip with cheekpieces fitted.

Shade Of Winter (G)
[H]
Runner-up only start in bumpers and showed promise when placed at Chepstow all 3 outings over hurdles last season. Plenty to like about that form and would be in the mix if back on song (well held on reappearance/handicap debut at Cheltenh…

Sweeper System (G)
Maiden pointer showed a bit more than on hurdle debut when fifth of 12 in a novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy, 200/1) 15 days ago. Looks a longer-term project.

Thesoldiersminit (G)
Well beaten on his only outing in bumpers and no show in two Bangor novice hurdles last month (in rear when unseating last latterly). Little interest this side of handicaps.

Disappointed since debut bumper fourth, faring no better switched to hurdles this season. Hard to fancy back down in trip.

Zamek (G)
€160,000 Beaumec de Houelle gelding confirmed the promise of his debut bumper third (for Paul Nicholls) when runner-up on hurdle/stable debut over 2m at Lingfield on reappearance, well backed and pulled clear with last-time-out winner. Sol…
