Alfa Charlie (G)
Made plenty of appeal on paper, but tailed off in a bumper (for Gordon Elliott) in January and fared no better tried in tongue strap when down the field in a Fontwell novice on stable/hurdling debut last month. Needs to leave previous effo…

Big Lou (G)
Down the field in varied events on Flat, tried in cheekpieces when well held on handicap debut at Chepstow final outing in May last year. Has enough to prove making first run since leaving Archie Watson following a lengthy absence.

Blowers (G)
Very green when pulled up in novice hurdle at Chepstow on Rules debut earlier this month, but proved a different proposition when causing a 300/1 shock in an Exeter maiden 2 days ago. Task will be to back up latest run if turned out again …

Garavogue (G)
[H1]
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Drop Out Joe (2½m-3¼m winner). Dam, 2¼m chase winner in France, half-sister to smart chaser up to 3m La Landiere. Has a fair standard to aim at on debut.

King Of Records (G)

Fairly useful winner on Flat in France in 2023, then missed following year. Left stable/hurdling debut form behind when third in a Ludlow novice in February, before running to a similar level when second in maiden at Chepstow in April. Rem…

Lipstick (G)
Looked in need of the experience on debut when eighth of 11 in bumper at Chepstow in November. May be just be better for this first experience as he starts off over hurdles.

Man Up Front (G)
In need of the experience in 2 bumpers, but showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 7 in novice at this course (19.7f) last month. However, he'll be of more appeal once handicapping.

Minella Jury (G)
Posted a fairly useful effort when bagging Wexford bumper in October on final run for John Nallen, form boosted by the second winning over hurdles time. Since changed hands for £80,000 and he's an interesting hurdling debutant for his new …

Raging Al (G)
[H]
Fair form at best on the Flat but has raced too freely sent hurdling last 2 starts (fitted with a hood), finishing well held in novice at this C&D on latest outing 25 days ago. Needs to settle better if he's match his Flat form in this sph…

Fair form in bumpers, placed twice from 4 starts, but well held tried on the Flat in April. After 7 months off (had wind op), some encouragement when staying-on fourth of 8 in novice at Plumpton on hurdles bow 19 days ago. More needed in t…

Twistthenightaway (M)
Promise sole outing in bumpers but only modest form when mid-field in 2 starts over hurdles this season, fifth of 10 in mares' novice at Warwick (19f) on latest run a month ago. Capable of better, though she might be more one for handicaps…
