Barleythorpe
Not disgraced in two bumpers for Pam Sly last spring and open to improvement over hurdles for new yard but this is his first run for nine months and it's probably wise to wait for some positive signals from the betting.

Berkshire Lad
Placed in good-ground Sedgefield bumper in October and has claims here if judged on that performance but spoiled his chance by racing too freely on last month's hurdling debut and comes with risk attached.

Hestina Hill
With a good stable but struggled on bumper debut in December and was always behind when 150-1 for subsequent hurdle debut; cheekpieces added.

Karton Plein
Irish point runner-up last spring; well held in fifth when odds-on for Sedgefield bumper in October and just a respectable fourth over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m, soft) 11 days ago but still makes appeal here.

Pay The Tab
Kept on for third in soft-ground Down Royal bumper for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but left that stable after two very disappointing runs; now back over hurdles for new yard; hooded for first time; probably best watched.

Unleash The Beast
Half-brother to high-class chaser Cloth Cap; unable to land a telling blow on first two hurdling starts, more recently when 17l fifth at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in December, but his form is among the best on offer here and he probably still has potential.

- Urblereagh
- David Noonan / T R Gretton

50/1 |
Urblereagh
Made reasonably encouraging debut when 27l sixth at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February 2023 but finished lame there and not seen again since; tongue-tie added here.

- Jack Tudor / Christian Williams

Gemi Cat
A well-beaten outsider in three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-2m5f); might be of greater interest once the handicapper has seen fit to give her a mark.

- Golden Echo
- Sam Twiston-Davies / A J Honeyball

7/2 |
Golden Echo
Ended seven-race Flat career for Julie Camacho with a win at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 64) last summer; has fitness to prove after 205-day absence but makes stable/hurdle debut in a modest race.

Majestic Mia
Fell on last spring's Irish point debut and has not shown a great deal in her two hurdling starts this winter (2m5f/2m); needs to take a big step forward.
