Knock Off Soxs (G)
FAV
Point winner from the family of very smart hurdler Blue Bajan and built on his promising debut here (2m) when scoring over the same C&D 3 weeks ago, his solid jumping counting for plenty in the closing stages as others made mistakes/lacked…

Le Beau Madrik (G)
Went one better than on both starts in bumpers when taking 17f Newcastle maiden hurdle last month, scoring with a bit in hand in the end after a slightly troubled passage up the straight. More to come up in trip and leading claims.

Blazing Litten (G)
Runner-up on 3 of his 5 completed starts in points but well held in Exeter bumper/maiden hurdle, latest just 12 days ago.

Bushstreet Bowman (G)
Has shown a bit in 2 runs, 15 lengths third when fell last on hurdles debut at Hereford over this trip 5 weeks ago. Can do better.

Bye Bye Salam (G)
Modest maiden on the Flat. Pulled keenly when well held on hurdles debut here (2m, 33/1) behind Knock Off Soxs 3 weeks ago. Usual headgear left off.

Lorcan Williams | J Scott | 4 | 69.9 kg |

Crystello (G)
[T1]
Bought for £30,000 after finishing runner-up on completed start in Irish points and looks to be being brought along gradually over hurdles, not knocked about at Lingfield just 17 days ago. Tongue tie goes on.

Gettingawaywithit (G)
Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Sandor Clegane. Didn't cost much and offered little on debut in Plumpton bumper 4 weeks ago. Likely to need more time.

Bradley Harris | N P Mulholland | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Hadrianus (G)
Some useful form to his name on the Flat for Charlie Johnston in 2023. Not seen for over 2 years though and was well beaten on recent return/hurdles debut at Wincanton.

Brendan Powell | J Tizzard | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Kiss Gold (G)
Out of the frame on debut in Chepstow bumper 8 months ago. In good hands, however, and warrants respect on switch to hurdling.

Callum Pritchard | P Hobbs & J White | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Lake Tiberias (G)
Hasn't done as well in 2 goes over hurdles (2m) as he managed in a bumper and looks one for handicaps after another outing.

No Panic (G)
[T]
Some encouragement in a bumper/novice hurdle initially but was well beaten in 2m Wincanton maiden hurdle a fortnight ago. Goes up in trip.

Religous Cross (G)
Half-brother to fair hurdler Badbury Rings and did the job well when landing his sole start in maiden points. Showed plenty amidst greenness in bumper here last month and could have a good future. Longer trip will suit now hurdling.

C O'Farrell | N P Mulholland | 5 | 69.9 kg |

Ribba Hill (G)
Fair winner on the Flat for Grant Tuer. Showed a bit more second time up over hurdles behind Knock Off Soxs here (2m) recently.

Galactic Princess (M)
£5,000 buy, half-sister to smart hurdler/unreliable but useful chaser Killala Quay (winner up to 3m, by Karinga Bay). Second in 3-runner event sole start in Irish points (Apr 2025).
