Chepstow

A fairly 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.

Irish point winner who has made a promising start over hurdles at this venue, finishing third in November before winning easily 4 weeks ago (both 19.5f). Travels well enough to think he can cope with the shorter distance. Capable of better.

Point winner who showed ability when fourth both bumper starts last spring and is going the right way over hurdles, comfortably landing a 2m Hereford maiden last month. A penalty demands more but he looks capable of better.

150/1, no short-term promise when ninth of 11 in Hereford maiden hurdle on last month's debut.

80/1 when well held in Hereford bumper in November 2024. Likely outsider now hurdling 14 months on.

Bumper winner in March but ran to a barely modest level when beaten 14 lengths into second on Hereford hurdle debut in November. Will need to leave that form to go close here.

Last in a 6-runner Ascot bumper in November and will need to show much more here to figure.

Reached the frame in a pair of course bumpers at the beginning of 2025. That suggests he should have a future over jumps but he might be best watched this time.

Comfortably held in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle. Looks more one for the longer term.

Won all 3 starts in 2023/24 season, including a Cheltenham listed bumper and a Hereford juvenile hurdle. Has shown he retains his ability when third in Exeter novice hurdle and fifth in Cheltenham handicap since returning from a long absence and it remains likely he has bigger performances in him.

Zoustar filly who has hinted at ability in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle but seems unlikely to be of interest until handicapping.

125/1, beaten over 25 lengths when seventh of 18 in Wincanton maiden hurdle on debut 19 days ago.
