SPACEPORT, a fairly useful dual winner on the Flat, is a most interesting hurdling debutant in the context of this race and is selected to get his career in this sphere off to the perfect start. Ballyvango hasn't looked totally straightforward but has shown a fair level of ability on all 3 hurdle starts to date and should go well once more. Solent Gateway can fill the places if going the right way from his Wetherby hurdle bow.

    Verdict
    Fair in bumpers and similar form in maiden hurdles, including when second to Rubber Ball (winner again since) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) the previous month, carrying head bit awkwardly. Has leading claims on that form and should go well again.

    Verdict
    Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including useful 1½m-13f winner Bolder Bob. Dam unraced. Stuck to his task when fourth in an Irish bumper for Darren Bunyan in 2022. Off since and has moved yards. Has had a breathing operation.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful stayer on the Flat for Hugo Palmer (sold 9,000 gns), had usual headgear/tongue strap retained for hurdling debut and looked badly in need of the experience when fourth of 9 at Wetherby in December. May do better.

    Verdict
    Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Sonning (winner around 2m, by The Gurkha). Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), successful twice in 2024, mid-division last time. Very interesting hurdling debutant in the context of this race.
