6/4

Comment: Lightly raced 8yo who stayed on strongly to win by 10l here (2m5f, good) on handicap debut 18 days ago; went up 12lb for that but seems very likely to be suited by today's longer trip; commands respect.

Comment: 0-8 over hurdles but looked suited by the step up to 3m when third at Southwell (good to soft) last month and can better that performance if his jumping is more fluent here.

7/2

Comment: Yet to be placed after seven hurdling starts but wasn't beaten far on final two outings last season (2m6f/2m7f); moves up in trip again and sports first-time cheekpieces here; could have a say.

4/1

Comment: Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted.

16/1

Comment: Quirky customer who sometimes looks reluctant to jump off; returned from layoff with win off much reduced mark at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but his subsequent run was disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; swaps blinkers for refitted visor.

Comment: Struggled over hurdles in the 2023-24 season and, following a layoff, was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month; might have needed that outing and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but is not easily recommended from 8lb out of the weights.

Comment: Multiple Flat/hurdle winner, mainly in Jarsey; ran well in defeat in better race than this at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) last month and did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when last of four (not beaten far) on latest outing; suited by this C&D; good chance.

Jockey: K Brogan Trainer: O Murphy Age/Wt: 5/11-2

4 tips

4/1

Comment: First foal; dam bumper winner, sister to fair hurdler Touchy Feely, closely related to stable's useful bumper/jumps winner Sure Touch; trainer does well in bumpers (20% strike-rate); appealing on paper.

Grizzled Squirrel

Jockey: Caoilin Quinn Trainer: G & J Moore Age/Wt: 4/10-10

13/2

Comment: First foal; unraced dam closely related to bumper and useful jumps winner Little Miss Poet; has much less interesting pedigree than stable's other newcomer Shutfrontdoor.

Opening Dance

Jockey: G Sheehan Trainer: Miss E C Lavelle Age/Wt: 5/11-2

7/1

Comment: Seventh foal; half-sister to connections' fairly useful hurdler/chaser Shiroccan Roll and two other winning hurdlers for the yard; dam 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to a bumper winner; stable has very respectable bumper strike-rate (12%); no surprise if she features.

Sevarana

Jockey: Harry Bannister Trainer: R Bandey Age/Wt: 5/11-2

15/2

Comment: 34,000euros 3yo; sixth foal; sister to useful bumper/jumps winners Sevarano and Fire Flyer; dam placed in bumpers, half-sister to useful jumper Champagne Mystery; newcomer with an interesting pedigree.

Shutfrontdoor

Jockey: Freddie Mitchell Trainer: G & J Moore Age/Wt: 4/10-10

9/1

Comment: Fifth foal; half-sister to stable's useful jumpers Robin's Dream and Jerrash and fair hurdler Lumi Plugin; dam placed bumpers/3m1f hurdle, sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup third Turpin Green; one to consider.

Queens Ginger

Jockey: Rex Dingle Trainer: Ben Clarke Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 7-

12/1

Comment: Out of a bumper winner but was unable to land a significant blow when seventh of 11 on debut at Warwick (good) in March and needs that outing to have brought her on.

Approaching Storm

Jockey: James Davies Trainer: N J Gifford Age/Wt: 4/10-10

20/1

Comment: Fifth foal; half-sister to useful Irish hurdler Aldo The Apache and another hurdle winner; dam placed 2m4f hurdle, half-sister to high-class jumper Fundamentalist; worth a glance in the betting but stable has only occasional bumper winners.

At Sunrise

Jockey: David Bass Trainer: D Weston Age/Wt: 4/10-10 F: 9-

40/1

Comment: First foal of a bumper and 2m-2m6f hurdle winner; 100-1 for junior bumper at Kempton (good) in March, where she was prominent for a long way but weakened from 2f out; others have more obvious claims here.
