SKYJACK HIJACK has progressed at such a rate of knots that he may be able to take the step up to Graded level in his stride. Western Knight and Clondaw General might be the pair to give Jennie Candlish's fluent-jumping front-runner most to do.

    Verdict
    Very progressive front-running hurdler who readily completed a 6-timer in 2¾m novice at Newcastle a fortnight ago. This is his toughest assignment yet but his fluent jumping should continue to hold him in good stead.

    Verdict
    £150,000 purchase on the back of Irish point success and followed up in 4-runner novice hurdle at Worcester (23f) on Rules debut in October, forging clear after the last. Looks a useful stayer in the marking.

    Verdict
    Second in the first of 2 bumper starts and winning of novices at Uttoxeter (2½m) and Ascot (21.5f) since switching to hurdles. Looks capable of better again and unlikely to give up his unbeaten hurdle record without a fight.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler in France, winning then second over 2¼m at Auteuil this autumn for Hugo Merienne. Steps up significantly in trip on this first outing for David Cottin.

    Verdict
    £50,000 Irish point recruit who made a successful start to his hurdle career in 2½m Carlisle maiden last month. The third gave the form a bit of a boost when scoring comfortably at Kelso last weekend. Open to improvement.

    Verdict
    Point winner who looked quite useful when winning 2 of his first 3 starts over hurdles but needs to shrug off a disappointing run in a Doncaster handicap 2 weeks ago. Up in trip.

    Needed the experience when fourth in a Hereford bumper in March 2023. Absent since and very much pitched in at the deep end on hurdle debut.
