Kdeux Saint Fray
A point, bumper and maiden hurdle winner at up to 2m4f over a variety of course types and with and without a little cut; effectiveness after a break already proven also, and this is self-evidently easier than the Cheltenham Grade 2 novice he contested last time; player.

Lieutenant Mayne
Major player on the form of November's all-the-way Naas win (2m3f, good to yielding), but has folded sharply trying similar tactics twice since, proving no better for a three-month break latest; still no recourse to any headgear or aid, and caution necessarily advised for now.

The Bluesman
2-2 at Chepstow having made all in a bumper and C&D maiden hurdle (both soft) during 2024, albeit overcoming some indifferent leaps and late hanging for the latter; likely still raw and open to further progress, but a potential pace rival awaits in Lieutenant Mayne; unraced on good.

Bara Tara
Not bred for hurdling, and jumping again not all it could be when 38l last of four at Taunton on Wednesday (2m3f); overlooked.

Beragon
Offered little in a bumper here (wouldn't settle) and a 2m4f Hereford novice hurdle late last year; needs to have come on a lot since then.

Tongaknoxie
Minor encouragement in November's Hereford 2m4f hurdling debut fourth (backwards step since) and ought to have something to offer at this trip or further, albeit likelier in handicaps after this.
