Ballymena Boy
Some promise in a point and then a bumper but was beaten when falling on his hurdling debut and tailed off in his second attempt.

9/4 |
Big Boy Barney
Second to the smart Ballybow in an Irish point and has run well to be fourth in two good-ground bumpers, the first won by Destination Dubai who went on to be placed at Aintree; hurdling debutant and bred to improve with his racing.

Cobbler's Boy
From the front, he had the long odds-on favourite in some bother at Southwell (2m, good to soft) only to ultimately go down by 3l (distance clear of the remainder); had wind surgery and now tongue tied; sets the standard by some way.

New Man
Tailed off in good-ground novice hurdles at Hereford and Ludlow; the new tongue-tie will need to make a huge difference.

Foxy's Friend
Showed some ability when fourth of 11 runners in a 2m4f British point two months ago; joined a good yard for rules action.
