Pleasington (G)
Winning 2m hurdler who made a promising start in this sphere after 8 months off when close third of 5 in handicap at Wetherby. Disappointed at Aintree next time but worth another chance.

Joker De Mai (G)
Fairly useful winner over hurdles who won on second attempt in this sphere at Leicester in March. However, didn't get very far in Foxhunters at Aintree and well held both starts since, including starting out for this yard at Cheltenham on …

Jorebel (G)
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester (20f) in October and made it 2 from 2 over fences with any amount in hand at Plumpton 4 weeks ago. Every chance there's more to come.

Rath Gaul Hill (G)
[P1T]
Completed hat-trick when making a belated winning return over C&D in February. Not disgraced from out of the weights in Red Rum at Aintree next time but made a disappointing comeback over C&D last month. Headgear now applied.

Fairly useful novice hurdler last season. Made a respectable start in this sphere when third at Warwick on return and should come on for that.

Mon Champion (G)
A fairly useful hurdles winner in France who also showed similar form over fences last term. Finished well held on British/stable debut at Sandown after 11 months off but fared much better when second there 24 days ago, albeit left behind …
