Runner-up twice from 3 starts in Irish points and shaped encouragingly sent hurdling when fourth in maiden at Southwell (15.8f) in November, Not in same form at Leicester since but remains with potential on switch to handicapping.

Tzarmix (G)
[P]
Built on earlier promise to gain a first win for his current yard at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) last month and arrives on back of creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft, 11/8) 25 days ago. Merits consi…

Sea Warrior (G)
Showed plenty of promise in maiden/novice hurdles and was in touch when falling at Wincanton on handicap debut 19 days ago. Remains one to be interested in if none the worse for that. Engaged 2.05 Wincanton Saturday.

Northern Symphonie (M)
Completed a hat-trick of small-field handicap wins in the spring and even better form when second of 3 at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in June. However, offered little on debut for new yard at Sandown last month.

Where's Cato (M)
Much improved from hurdling bow when bagging 5-runner novice at Exeter (21.6f) in October. However, beaten a long way at Ludlow since and makes limited appeal on handicap debut.

Hidor De Bersy (G)
Down in the weights and off the mark for this yard at the third attempt in 3-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 31 days ago, soon clear. This is much more competitive but he warrants respect.

Shuil Ceoil (G)
[V1]
Took advantage of reduced mark when striking back in this sphere at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) in January. Decent second at the same course next time and, though below par since, he will be a player if first-time visor has the desired effect.

Bombay Pete (G)
No impact in a handful of starts in hurdles, including on handicap debut at Aintree last month. Yard in better form now but percentage call is to look elsewhere.
