5	Fairly useful bumper winner who wasn't far off that level over hurdles last season, scoring twice including when landing the odds in mares novice at Fontwell (2¾m) in April. Has the pedigree and physique for chasing so she looks an interesting proposition. 1st Pick 5 Strong Run Jockey: Liam Harrison Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Liam Harrison T: Fergal O'brien	99	-	-	-	13%

1	Successful on second of 2 starts in bumpers and didn't need to improve on previous hurdling form to get off the mark in 19f Warwick maiden (soft) in February. Seemed to find 23f too much on handicap debut soon after but a likely improver on reappearance now chasing. 2nd Pick 1 Just Golden (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	15%

14	Irish point winner who was placed on his first 4 runs since sent hurdling last season. Didn't finish off his race with much purpose at Newbury in March but type to do better over fences and yard is in good order. 3rd Pick 14 Douglas Hyde (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Rebecca Curtis J: Sean Bowen T: Rebecca Curtis	97	-	-	-	10%	Scratched
