Baron Noir (G)
Useful dual bumper scorer who has taken well to hurdling, building on opening Warwick second when going one better at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) last month. Had a bit in hand and looks capable of better again. Engaged 1.45 Chepstow Sunday.

Kocktail Bleu (G)
Placed both outings in bumpers and made a winning start over hurdles in 14-runner maiden at Fontwell in November, not always foot-perfect but well on top at the finish. Perhaps stretched by 20.5f at Newbury later that month so better expec…

Legendary Luke (G)
:£100,000 Irish point winner who came in an encouraging second of 12 in bumper at Worcester in October. Quickened nicely to go one place better switched to hurdling a month later and he's expected to build on that.

Collanisi (G)
Shaped well when third of 7 in Fos Las bumper on debut in November 2024 but well held in a stronger race at Cheltenham 11 months later and same story sent hurdling last month.

Herbygoesbananas (G)
Flat-bred gelding overcame inexperience to make a winning bumper debut at Huntingdon last November, beating a fair sort. Offered little on Flat debut at Chelmsford 5 months later and having left Chris Gordon, he offered little on November'…

High Point (G)
Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), not lacking for stamina when winning at Haydock in September. Run best excused next time but could hardly have shown less sent hurdling at Fakenham recently.

Jacquetta (G)
€8,000 3-y-o, Crystal Ocean gelding. Dam, fairly useful 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), also 1½m-2m winner on Flat. Inexpensive purchase and went with no promise on October's debut at Fontwell.

Holetown (M)
Ex-French mare who scored twice over fences in 2023/24 (fair form). Exploits proved mixed over both sets of obstacles during second half of last year and acquired by new connections for €50,000 thereafter she looked in need of the run afte…
