9/1 |
Arcon
French AW winner in October 2023; yet to improve on that effort on these shores but he did go close when second of five at Newcastle (2m) in October and was probably unsuited by the soft ground on his next run; returns from a 208-day break but he stayed well on the Flat and is worth considering in an ordinary contest on hurdle debut.

High Court Judge
Eight-time AW winner (1m-1m4f) who left behind a modest hurdle debut when a promising fourth of 11 at Worcester (2m, good) two weeks ago, fading late; one of two runners for James Owen.

Velvet Vulcan
1m4f AW classified winner in February 2024 but he was far too free when well held on March's hurdle debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) after wind surgery and never threatened back on the AW last time; more probably needed but the drop back in trip could help.

10/3 |
L'Ennemi
Ten-race maiden at up to 1m2f but he was a close second of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) in January before a lesser effort back there in March on final start for Julie Camacho; makes hurdle/stable debut with stamina to prove back from nearly three months off.

5/6 |
Noisy Jazz
Flat winner at Newmarket (1m, good) on August debut but she's yet to build on that (too free latest); however, she has stamina in her pedigree and, if the hood helps her settle, she could play a major role on hurdle debut.

Venus Slipper
In good form earlier in the year on the AW, winning in February (1m2f) and going close the following month, although her latest two efforts haven't been so encouraging; makes hurdle debut but stamina for this trip is a concern.
