Dropematthestation (G)
Point winner who has shown a fair level of ability when fourth in a Sandown bumper and 21f Warwick maiden hurdle in recent months. Open to improvement.

Idaho Fire (G)
[T]
Runner-up in a point last March. Shaped as if needing the outing when seventh in Newton Abbot bumper in October. Leading stable wastes no time switching him to hurdles over a longer trip.

H Cobden | P F Nicholls | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Jackpot Cauveliere (G)
Easily beat only other finisher on sole start in Irish points (Nov 2024) and showed promise on his hurdling debut when fourth of 6 in novice at Warwick (21f, soft) 47 days ago. In good hands and no surprise to see him take a step forward.

Paul O'Brien | Harry Derham | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Johnny's Jury (G)
Good pedigree and made an encouraging start to his career when third in Ffos Las maiden hurdle last January for Nicky Henderson. Likely improver on return for a new stable enjoying a tremendous season.

Joe Anderson | Jamie Snowden | 6 | 73.5 kg |

La Vish (G)
Well beaten in a Southwell bumper in November. Likely outsider now hurdling.

Lord Virginia (G)
Only modest form in 3 bumpers so would be a bit of a surprise winner on hurdle debut.

Parliamo (G)
Showed a bit in 2 bumpers last spring but tailed off on Chepstow hurdle debut in November. Subsequently had wind surgery.

Plains Drifter (G)
Third in an Irish point. Runner-up in a bumper/20.5f novice hurdle at Market Rasen since joining Fergal O'Brien. Ought to be on the premises.

J J Burke | F O'Brien | 6 | 73.5 kg |

Seaniecon (G)
€62,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025). Interesting hurdle debutant for in-form stable.
|
Benjamin Macey | J & A O'Neill | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Shotgun Rider (G)
Picked up for £155,000 after winning an Irish point last spring. Travelled well long way when 16 lengths second on 20.5f Leicester hurdle debut (heavy) last month. Open to progress, with less-testing ground now possibly a help.

Sam Twiston-Davies | N & W Twiston-Davies | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Wellfields Victor (G)
Kayf Tara gelding. Dam (b78) ran twice in bumpers. The betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

Benjamin Poste | T Symonds | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Asifbymagic (M)
Makes no obvious appeal on paper and would be a shock winner on this rather belated debut.
