Won an Irish point in November; second to a good one at Chepstow (2m, soft) was a fine start over hurdles, which he probably didn't match when third at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, but he's still one of the leading players in this line-up.

100,000euros 3yo; half-brother to three winners, two useful; 10-1 when 12l fifth of six in novice at Sandown (2m, heavy) ten weeks ago, which does not set the world alight in form terms but he was a detached last at halfway and made late headway; moves up in trip and might be a big improver but his powerful stable also runs an eye-catching newcomer in Into The Blue.

Runner-up in three of five races, all over hurdles; best form on last three outings, the latest at Hereford (2m4f, good) last month, and he'll probably be placed at best again.

First foal; dam fair 2m hurdle winner, sister to high-class 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Radjhani Express, half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Shatabdi, out of 2m2f Flat and useful 2m1f-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; one to note on debut for notable connections.

Three minor honours in five-race French career; had wind surgery in December, before an underwhelming British debut in maiden hurdle at Exeter (2m, good to soft; beaten 31l at 10-1) in March which suggests he is best watched.

Ran out on debut; however, he's been placed from the front on testing ground in his three maiden hurdles since, tongue tied first time when stepped up to 2m4f at Chepstow latest; absent since November and moving away from soft ground would ask a question, but his form suggests a big run.

Half-brother to five winners including Yeah Man (2m7f hurdle/3m4f chase), Fletcher (2m3f/2m4f hurdle) and The Jukebox Kid (bumper, 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase), all useful; tongue tied and 7-1 outsider of four when he trailed in last at Ludlow (good to firm) in a bumper in October; had a wind operation soon afterwards and needs a transformation.

Ran in two points (good) last May, third of five over 2m4f on second occasion; 26l seventh of ten in bumper at Chepstow (good to soft; 28-1) 17 days ago suggests he is a longer-term prospect.

Started this year with first and second in two Irish points for mares; the minor honours since in a bumper here and 2m4f maiden hurdle at Hereford represent modest form, so she has major work to do.

40,000euros 3yo; third foal; half-sister to bumper winner Hemlock; dam pulled up in a point, half-sister to winners Massini's Maguire (smart bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase) and Twirling Magnet (useful bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase); first and second this year in two Irish points for mares; could be an interesting recruit, albeit perhaps more for a later stage.

Well related for the Flat but he faded to meet with a heavy defeat in bumper at Doncaster (good to soft; 14-1) one month ago.
