Preference is for BUCKNA, who kept up his run of placings whilst shaping as if a swift return to 2½m+ would suit at Southwell a couple of months ago. The main danger may emerge from Devon Dude, who was turned over at prohibitive odds at Exeter recently but is another who should appreciate this step back up in trip. Deep Purple and Guchen can fight out third.

    Verdict
    Point winner who confirmed promise of Rules debut when off the mark in a bumper at Southwell in October. Ran to a fair level on his hurdling debut when third at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) the following month and capable if building on that on reappearance.

    Point winner and fair form when placed on all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles. This looks a good chance for him to get off the mark back up in trip.

    Verdict
    Bumper winner who ran his best race over hurdles when narrowly denied in 19f Taunton maiden in February. Came unstuck at very short odds in 3-runner maiden at Exeter (16.7f, good) the following month and he heads back up in distance.

    Verdict
    Only fifth of 7 in a bumper last May but showed promise when second of 10 on Hereford hurdle debut (19.5f, good to soft) in December. Ran to a similar level in spite of the drop in trip when third at Huntingdon in February and certainly not out of things back up in distance.

    Verdict
    Westerner gelding who ran to just a modest level when fifth of 11 in introductory hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on debut in December. Showed little when pulled up at Uttoxeter 11 weeks later and looks one for low-grade handicaps.

    Verdict
    Failed to meet expectations in a bumper on Boxiday Day 2023 but made a promising start hurdling 12 months later when third of 10 in maiden at Wincanton. Failed to improve on that 11 weeks later at Exeter (pulled hard) and looks to have his work cut out again despite Cobden on board.

    Verdict
    Showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 8 in bumper but hard to enthuse about both hurdling exploits, finding the hurdles getting in his way at Wetherby (16f, good) recently. Needs this step up in trip to unlock some improvement.

    Verdict
    Limited impact in a trio of bumpers but showed up a bit better sent hurdling after 3 months off when fifth of 10 in maiden at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) just under 6 weeks ago. His task is to now build on that upped to 2½m.

    Verdict
    Seemingly being brought along gradually, finishing a never-nearer sixth of 12 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in February. Heads up in trip with tongue tie worn last time left but others more appealing.
