10/3 |
Disguisedlimit
Irish point winner; raced far too freely before weakening into remote third on rules debut in November but, with a hood fitted, settled better when second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) the following month; needs to improve again here but that's possible.

Eton Blue
Fair on the Flat over middle distances and comes here after two respectable AW runs this year but raced too freely and was soundly beaten when tried once over hurdles in 2022; returns to this code with quite a lot to prove.

Fasol
Disappointed at Windsor in January (made a respiratory noise; had wind op soon afterwards) but was second in handicaps at Sandown (2m, soft) and Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) towards end of last year and has strong claims in this maiden if back on song.

250/1 |
Hector's Hope
Well beaten in all three bumpers and, following a long absence, was pulled up when 250-1 for last month's hurdle debut (2m3f).

11/4 |
High Fibre
Useful Flat racer who ran to fair level when placed on first two hurdling starts, and was probably a shade unlucky when second over C&D (soft) on latter occasion; disappointing favourite when well-held third at Kempton (2m, good to soft) since but remains of interest in this type of event.

Millsbridge
Well beaten when a big-priced outsider for good-ground Warwick bumper last April and not seen again since.

- Monteria
- Sean Houlihan / W S Kittow

|
|
33/1 |
Monteria
Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f; failed to win last year but was in reasonable form when last seen in the autumn and has realistic each-way claims if he takes well to this game at the first attempt.

- Saddlers Dream
- Harry Kimber / W G M Turner

300/1 |
Saddlers Dream
Showed no promise in two slow-ground bumpers during the winter and can't be recommended on this hurdling debut.

- Dylan Johnston / S Thomas

|
40/1 |
Sangpoursangamoi
Made fairly encouraging bumper debut when fourth of eight at Hereford (good to soft) in November but struggled in a stronger Windsor bumper in January and is probably one for further down the line.

- Ted The Thief
- Ben Godfrey / K Woollacott
|
|
|
22/1 |
Ted The Thief
Out of an unraced half-sister to smart jumper Cooldine; came good in points at sixth attempt, in soft-ground Chipley maiden last month, but has a fair bit more on his plate on this rules debut.

- Game On Babe
- Fern O'brien / F O'brien

|
40/1 |
Game On Babe
Maiden pointer who probably didn't achieve a great deal when last of four finishers on hurdling debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month; not the most obvious answer.

- Glancing Back
- James Best / Mrs E Bishop
|
|
|
80/1 |
Glancing Back
Related to three jumps winners from this stable, most notably fair chaser Back By Midnight; dam a point winner; wears a hood on debut and seems unlikely to meet the standard required.

- David Bass / M Comley

Pretty Punctual
Well beaten when 300-1 for C&D (good to soft) mares' maiden on hurdling debut in January.

- Baronetti
- David Noonan / N J Hawke
|
|
|
100/1 |
Baronetti
Has a good Flat pedigree but made an inauspicious debut for the Crisford stable last May and has not raced again since; now with new trainer for hurdling career.
